Haṭha Yoga Classes
Our regular classes primarily cover asana practices along with basic pranayama and meditation practices.
We impart personalized training although the practitioner may be practicing in a group. We follow a systematic approach after assessing the student’s age, body condition, prior experience in Yoga, health conditions, and medical history, if any.
The course is suitable for anyone of the age of 18 and above. No prior experience in yoga is necessary for joining this course. In case if you have any health issues or pre-existing conditions, the practices can be customized.
One who has experienced the real benefit of Yoga, can only sincerely impart training to others.
The education imparted during childhood will form a strong foundation for the rest of life. This is true with Yoga education and training also. Children with their natural instincts can understand and adapt to Yoga much more quickly. Sowing the seeds of Yoga at an early age will help children to grow as strong, balanced, and responsible individuals capable of facing the challenges of life.
Through Yoga practices, children are enabled to become aware of their strengths and to bring out their dormant potential.

As people go through different stages of life, indulging in human tendencies, they experience a series of different emotions. They witness periods of joy and despair but can gain control over the life only after exhausting their prarabhda karmas. In order to exhaust the prarabhda karma one needs regular practice, discipline and utmost focus. According to the eminent masters of yore, to free one from the conflicting thoughts and lesson.
Yoga for Health Management
Gentle yoga therapy personalizes recovery. Soft poses and breathwork ease pain, improve flexibility, and rebuild strength safely. Tailored to your injury, it promotes mind-body connection and gradual movement for healing. Yoga can help you regain mobility, reduce stress, and find balance after an accident.
For yogic practices to not be reduced to mere asana methods, there is a need to introduce Yoga Darshanas (philosophy) and other traditional yogic scriptures and texts, to genuine seekers of yoga; so that they can get a glimpse into the real world of Yoga as handed down to us by our ancient masters and sages.
Online Class
As we routinely go about our day to day lives, many of us realise the need to slow down and focus on our wellbeing. But often our busy life schedules makes it difficult for us to do so. Even if we do manage to slip in a few hours a week to work upon our wellbeing, the rigors of commuting and getting stuck in traffic to reach the yoga/fitness studio makes it a vain attempt. Not only that, if you are always on the move, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with a dedicated fitness regime. But not anymore. HathaVidya brings yoga to your doorstep by way of online classes. All you need is your mobile device, yoga mat and yourself! Join us from the comfort of your own space as we guide you through the entire practice step by step.
Haṭha Vidyã Special Programs
Nishṭha
Introducing kids to mindfulness and discipline at a young age can go a long way in shaping the person they become eventually. When inculcated from a young age, it becomes a part of their system; almost like muscle memory and it then becomes easy for them to carry it forward for the rest of their lives without any extra push or effort. At Hatha Vidya we not only offer regular kids yoga classes, but we also have 'Nishtha', a beautiful program designed by our Acharya, especially for young kids between the ages of 5 and 13 years. In this program, in addition to the classical Yogasanas (postures) and Pranayama (breathing techniques), kids are also explained the essence of basic yogic concepts by way of theory sessions, which follow a specific curriculum carefully designed to bring about holistic development of children. The young minds are also challenged by way of fun interactive games, which is often the most awaited part of the classes as it not only sparks their playful and inquisitive side, but also serves as a team building opportunity. The introduction to Sanskrit language is the Cherry on the cake. Enrol your child today and see him or her blossom into their best versions on the way.

Yoga For Seniors
Yoga can never be termed under ‘one size fits all’ rule. Each body is different and so is the difference in the practice methodology. Yoga is for all, but not in one form. It needs careful evaluation of one’s age, gender, medical history and level of practice to decide the practices one shall perform. We keep this in consideration while designing the practice methodology for our students.
Our message for seniors, you’re never too old to reap the rewards of yoga. Yoga can benefit you, if done under proper guidance, with special care and attention while imparting the practices, and also while performing.
Corporate Yoga
We consider corporate world as synergy, where the management, and pool of employees bring their energies together to create, to drive and to strive for growth. In modern day life style, one spends more time in their work place than with family and friends and hence, the environment at workplace has significant effect on overall lives of all the people involved in the workplace. At the same time, the environment of workplace depends on the overall health of individuals.
Chāndrayanam
Sage Patanjali in PYS II-43 says "Kayendriyasiddhih ashuddhikshayat tapasah", the purification of body along with sensory organs can be achieved by adopting proper Tapas (Austerity). The role of mind in the creation of health and disease has been well emphasized in ancient Indian texts. Moreover, the phases of the moon are said to influence the emotions of a person and thus can indirectly affect the health of a person. The modern world is also realizing these links and hence there is a surge of detox- ification programs everywhere.
A unique rejuvenation program, Chandrayanam is an ancient Indian austerity practice observed to reduce impurities in body and mind, followed on the basis of the lunar cycle. Two lunar cycles exist full moon to full moon and new moon to new moon.
Full moon to full moon cycle represents the 'Pipilika' or ant. If Chan- drayanam is followed during this cycle the yogis would eat 15 morsels of food on the first day which would steadily reduce in quantity till the 15th day on that day they would fast. The quantity of food would be increased slowly again from the 16th day till it reached 15 mor- sels on the full moon (30th day).
