Yoga classes

In all of our yoga classes, we follow the Aham Yoga method. This method comprises of three elements – strength, precision and mindfulness. This method was created by our founder, Arundhati Baitmangalkar after years of teaching and studying Yoga. At Aham Yoga, we break down the yoga poses, explaining how to enter, hold, progress, and exit them safely, as well as educate students about the benefits of the practice. We specialize in high-quality, personalized instructions where you can be guaranteed a better understanding of yoga.

All our yoga teachers are trained by Arundhati in our annual yoga teacher trainings. This makes all our classes consistent and structured. At Aham yoga, we keep a close eye on our clients and their practice needs. If you are looking for a yoga studio that will teach you everything from the basics and help you sustain a consistent yoga practice – our yoga studio is perfect for you. We also offer yoga workshops, yoga teacher trainings and yoga retreats at Aham Yoga.

If you have an injury or condition that needs attention, let us know beforehand and we will guide you to the best class option possible. Our studio is kept at a steady 70 or 72 degrees throughout the year. We teach Vinyasa and Hatha styles of Yoga. Although we welcome you to any class, we offer a levels distinction to help you choose the practice most suitable for you.  It is important for you to attend the class suitable to your level to experience a successful yoga practice.
