Experience YTT without music ✨

There is a place inside every heart
waiting to go deeper into the soul...

Some remember it from another life.
Some find it through pain.
Some open it with a moment of wonder,
or a quiet sit in meditation,
or a simple practice that feels like coming home.

And when you touch this place,
you begin to look for the source.

Sometimes, the source is in the simplest corners of the world...
a small building by the sea in Varkala,
a yoga school a place where people don’t waste time on hate,
where no one needs to gossip,
where kindness and belonging feel natural.

Here, love becomes community.
This is not a race.
It is not about being better than anyone else.
It is about growing together,
lifting each other up,
and finding joy again.

At Yogagau, we are not just doing a course.
We are creating a space
where hearts meet,
where spirits open,
and where you can remember
why you are here.

This is the purpose of life.
To find each other.
To heal.
To rise.

Learning Biomechanics of feet 🦶🏻 at our beautiful yoga Shala in Varkala

I often see people say, “I want to do yoga, but I don’t have time…” Life is busy… work, messages, meetings, so many things every day. And we feel there’s no time left for ourselves. But what many don’t see is… yoga can actually help with all these things…

When you take just 20–30 minutes to do yoga… to breathe… to stretch… your mind feels calm and clear. You don’t get tired so fast… you don’t get angry so quickly. You start to enjoy your tea more, your walk feels lighter… you handle problems with a quiet mind. That’s why I always say “Yoga doesn’t take time, it gives time…” It gives you peace, focus, and more energy for the rest of your day.

It honestly breaks my heart to see what yoga is becoming today.

Coming from Rishikesh, I grew up around sadhus, rituals, mantras, and deep silence. Yoga was never just movement—it was a way of life. But nowadays, every time I open my phone, there’s a new “style” popping up—Power Yoga, Beer Yoga, Goat Yoga, even yoga named after flowers or emotions. It feels like people are more interested in branding than in the soul of the practice.

And don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying we shouldn’t evolve. I also teach modern anatomy and biomechanics. But yoga has to come from somewhere deeper. A real class should have breathwork, a chant, a moment of stillness, some reflection. And when I hear teachers say “You don’t need Sanskrit” or “Philosophy isn’t important,” it honestly hits hard. That’s not the yoga I was raised with. That’s just another workout.

I’m not here to judge. But as a yoga teacher from India, from the land where this tradition was born, I’m just asking one thing: Let’s not forget where it all started. Respect the roots. Build something new—but let it come from a place of truth.

Comment your thoughts.

Yoga isn’t just about getting better at the poses; it’s really about getting better at handling life. It teaches us ‘Santosha’… which means being happy with what we have right now… This helps us feel good every day, not just when things go our way…

Yoga also helps us learn about ourselves through ‘Svadhyaya’… or self-study… This means noticing our own thoughts and feelings… and understanding them better… This can make us calmer and smarter about how we act and react every day…

29,000 Breaths—How Many Are Mindful?

In yoga, there’s an old saying:

“Chale vate chale chittam, nischale nischalam bhavet.” (Hatha Yoga Pradipika 2.2)
“When the breath moves, the mind moves. When the breath is steady, the mind is steady.”

Breath, or prana, is not just air—it’s life itself. It connects the body and mind. The ancient yogis knew that if we control the breath (pranayama), we control the mind. This is what Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras say: “Yoga is the stilling of the mind’s fluctuations (Chitta Vritti Nirodhah).”

But here’s the thing—we take 29,000 breaths every day, yet most of them go unnoticed. We live in a world full of distractions, always rushing, always busy. But the breath is always there, waiting for us to notice it. If we refine our breath, we refine our entire being.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (2.3) says:
“Pranayama param tapah” – “Breath control is the highest discipline.”

Science now proves what yogis knew thousands of years ago. Deep breathing calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and sharpens focus. Whether on the mat or in daily life, the breath is our anchor.

So next time you breathe in, pause for a second. Are you really aware of it?

No breath, no movement. No breath, no stillness. No breath, no yoga.
