About
hi, I'm
shilpa
A Registered Yoga Teacher who came to this work through the body, its limits, its patterns, and how precisely it responds when you finally listen.
The teacher
Yoga that took the long way here
I didn't arrive at yoga looking for a workout. I arrived with injuries, questions, and a stubborn need to understand why one movement healed and another hurt. Anatomy books sat next to my mat for years.
Flexibility was never the goal. A body that moves well, for a long time, that's the goal.
That curiosity became a way of teaching. I trained intensively, earning an advanced 500-hour certification at Vinyasa Yoga Ashram and registering with Yoga Alliance USA, and built a practice rooted in understanding rather than performance, first for myself, then for the students who kept asking for the why behind each pose.
Today I teach from Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, India, online to students around the world, and one-to-one across Delhi NCR. Same intention every time: move with understanding, and the body follows.
How I teach
Three things you can expect on the mat
The body leads
I sequence around how joints, fascia and breath actually behave, so each class meets your body rather than forcing it into a shape.
Breath before depth
Steady breath is the measure of a posture, not how far you fold. Depth arrives on its own once the breath stays even.
You, specifically
Whether in a small group or one-to-one, I teach the person in front of me, your history, your goals, the days you feel strong and the days you don't.
In practice
Moments from the mat
From quiet mornings by the river to hands-on work in the studio.
I want you to leave a class understanding your own body a little better than when you arrived. That understanding is the practice.
