For me to function at my best — balance within is essential.

Hatha Yoga is the science of using the body to prepare oneself for the ultimate possibility. — Sadhguru
Hatha Yoga in its original form.
As a technology for inner balance.
Hatha Yoga not just stretches my muscles. It brings me to a state where outside situations cannot disturb my inner joy.
It is wonderful that we meet here.
In this busy and fast-changing world, it is important to build balance within — not just to function gracefully, but to ensure that the cycles of our body and mind don't get derailed.
Towards this, I am sharing with you a technology that has lasted for thousands of years simply because it works. Classical Hatha Yoga is fundamentally designed to bring this inner balance.
A 21-week, fully immersive teacher training program (1750+ hours) offered by Sadhguru Gurukulam at their ashram in India, plus years of practice, gives me a solid foundation to support you if you wish to take advantage of this opportunity. To begin your Hatha Yoga journey, please reach out or join an introduction webinar.

I did a 2 day intensive course with Nanda for Surya kriya, and I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The asanas are taught in a step by step manner, making it easy for us to follow. There is enough repetition to help correct our mistakes, and he patiently answers all our questions. He is himself trained from the Isha school of Yoga, and if you're looking to learn yoga the right way with the right breathing technique, his course is among the best available. His commitment to yoga is clearly visible in the ease with which he does the asanas. Overall, I highly recommend Nanda for learning Hatha yoga.
Highly recommend Nanda's hatha yoga courses if you are looking for an authentic hatha yoga experience. I had the opportunity to attend surya kriya and yogasanas course. From the very first day, I felt a sense of calmness and awareness as we started the day with invocation. Nanda patiently answered all my questions in the most simple and elegant way. The yoga courses are well structured with attention to every detail and reinforced with repetition. Group classes are fun and engaging while we get to take home some of those ancient techniques of health and wellbeing.
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend two courses with Nanda – Surya Kriya and Yogasanas – and both experiences were truly enriching.
Surya Kriya was a one-day course, while Yogasanas spanned around four days. Each session was thoughtfully guided, and I felt well-supported throughout the learning process. What stood out the most for me was the atmosphere Nanda created. The space was peaceful, focused, and welcoming – ideal for deepening one's practice. Being part of a group class added a special energy to the experience, allowing me to feel connected and inspired by others on the same journey.
I genuinely enjoyed the process and felt a sense of inner stillness and clarity after each session. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone looking to explore classical Hatha Yoga in a supportive and uplifting environment. Thank you, Nanda, for such a beautiful introduction to these powerful practices!
