Wherever you are on your path, you're welcome here.
See how we can practise togetherEvery body has its own story — and personal yoga sessions offer space to listen, explore, and restore.
In these one-to-one sessions, we’ll work together to shape a practice that meets you where you are — whether you’re beginning your journey, returning after an injury, or looking to deepen your awareness and alignment.
Using mindful movement, breathwork, and supportive props (blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets), the sessions are tailored to support comfort, stability, and greater ease — especially for those with stiffness, joint sensitivity, or specific therapeutic needs.
I also offer therapeutic massage, drawing on my diploma training, as another way to make space for rest, body awareness, and relaxation.
Let's talkAlongside individual work, I also offer themed workshops and guest sessions for studios, community spaces, and festivals.
Each workshop weaves together mindful movement, anatomy-informed alignment, and reflections on balance and wellbeing — helping participants explore how yoga can support their body, mind, and daily life.
Workshops can be tailored to suit different levels, durations, and community needs.
Let's talkNamaste, I'm Ankit. I've always been curious, with a busy mind and a love of exploring different things. I began practising yoga while volunteering at an ashram in the Himalayas after graduating. It gave me a sense of stillness and continues to help me feel grounded as I explore life.
My teaching draws on a Master's in Yoga, rooted in traditional Hatha yoga and classical Indian philosophy, and years of alignment training with Sharat Arora at the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Centre. I also hold a diploma in therapeutic massage.
I bring a thoughtful, therapeutic approach to my classes, combining alignment, breath and mindful movement with space to pause and listen. My aim is to make yoga accessible to different bodies and busy lives, while keeping awareness and connection with ourselves at the heart of the practice.
Rooted in tradition, guided by breath, and open to all. Here's where I'll be sharing practice in the coming months:
