Come International Day of Yoga, and the topic of yoga is on everyone’s lips (and social media channels). Making the practice of yoga more tangible and experiential is a humble centre that weaves into the lush green overhangs of Malcha Marg, New Delhi. This isn’t simply a centre; it’s a retreat for the mind, body, and soul.
Rooted in ancient knowledge and fused with the growing mindfulness of modern India, the approach to yoga at Lifeyoga begins on the mat but extends far beyond it. It’s a way of life—natural, free-flowing, and authentic. The gratitude, humility, and understanding of the self that you experience while on the mat will naturally seep into your everyday life.
Practising together at Lifeyoga
Lifeyoga emphasises community. Through group classes and workshops, they bring an element of balance and holistic well-being to your everyday life. Here’s a snapshot of some of the things you can expect to find on their daily schedule.
1. Transformative Aerial Yoga
There’s something beautiful about hanging in the air while cocooning in buttery silk. These classes combine traditional asanas with the aerial arts. Led by certified teachers, you’ll find yourself amidst practitioners of all ages and sizes while you find a rhythm everyone collectively falls into.
2. Empowering Wall-Rope Yoga
Equal parts fun and therapeutic, the Wall-Rope yoga classes promise to infuse your day with a few laughs, a straighter back, and inversions that are surprisingly achievable. 60 minutes of this session, and you’ll find yourself brimming with confidence, chatting up fellow yogis who practised, laughed, and conquered right beside you.
3. Invigorating Pranayama
Immerse yourself in synchronised breathing exercises that will harmonise energies and deepen your connection with fellow practitioners. As you inhale and exhale in unison, feel the stress of urban life melt away and retreat into a space that fosters intimacy and cultivates a sense of shared calmness.
Celebrate yourself and the community on this International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2024. Roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and embark on a very personal journey with a community you can call your own.
