Sanskrivo, bringing Indian culture to life

Live online yoga · Kids, adults and seniors

Yoga classes online,for every age and every ache.

Live online yoga in small batches, taught by qualified teachers in the tradition it comes from. Separate batches for children, adults and older learners, and focused batches for what people actually come to yoga with: back pain, a stiff neck and shoulders, weight, sleep and stress.

Who is on the mat

Children, adults and older learners practise in separate batches, because the same posture is taught three quite different ways.

Or come in by what brought you here

Each of these is a batch of its own, taught by a teacher who works with that complaint every week.

Before you book. Yoga classes are a practice, not medical treatment. Tell us about any injury, surgery, pregnancy or condition before your first class, and speak to your doctor if you are under treatment. We do not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and a teacher will tell you plainly when a posture is not for you.

01Every yoga batch

Yoga for Kids

Live online yoga for children: postures taught as play, breathing taught as a way to settle.

A children's yoga class, not an adult class made shorter. Postures arrive through animals, stories and games; the breathing is taught as something to use before a test or after an argument. Cameras on, so the teacher can correct a posture rather than hope it is right.

What you practise

  • The standing and seated asanas a child can hold safely, by their Sanskrit names
  • Surya Namaskar, learnt step by step until the sequence runs without prompting
  • Simple pranayama: long breathing and bhramari, and when to reach for it
  • A short daily practice a child can do alone, on a mat or on the carpet

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Posture that survives a school bag and several hours of screens
  • Somewhere to put restlessness, and a way back from it
  • Strength, balance and flexibility built without competition

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Warm-up and joint loosening, done as a game
  2. The asanas of the week, demonstrated and then corrected one learner at a time
  3. Breathing practice, then a few minutes of stillness
  4. A two-minute practice to keep going between classes

What you keep for life

A body that has been taught to move well and a breath they can steady on purpose: two things that stay available to them on every hard day for the rest of their life.

A child who can steady their own breathing has something for life.

Yoga for Adults

Beginner-friendly yoga for adults: asana, pranayama and relaxation, taught live in a small batch.

For the adult who has followed yoga videos alone and never been told what they were doing wrong. We build from the ground up (alignment first, then the sequence, then the breath that runs it) at a pace that assumes a desk job and a stiff hip rather than a gymnast.

What you practise

  • Standing, seated and supine asanas, with alignment corrected in the class
  • Surya Namaskar at a pace you can sustain, with the breath matched to it
  • Pranayama: nadi shodhana, ujjayi and bhramari, taught in the traditional order
  • A 20-minute home practice for the days you have no time

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Flexibility and strength returned to a body that mostly sits
  • A reliable way to come down from a working day
  • A practice that belongs to you rather than a subscription you forget

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Joint loosening and warm-up
  2. The asana sequence of the week, corrected individually
  3. Pranayama, taught after the body has been worked, not before
  4. Yoga nidra or savasana to close

What you keep for life

A practice that belongs to you rather than to a studio or a subscription: something you can do in a hotel room at fifty and in a chair at eighty.

Consistency beats intensity, every week of the year.

Yoga for Seniors

Gentle chair and standing yoga for older adults, built around balance, joints and breath.

Yoga for the sixties, seventies and beyond, taught by a teacher who knows which postures to leave out. Much of it can be done from a chair or with a wall for support. The aim is the ordinary business of later life done comfortably: standing up, turning around, sleeping through the night.

What you practise

  • Chair-supported and wall-supported asanas that are safe for stiff or replaced joints
  • Balance work, practised with support until it is steady without
  • Gentle pranayama and mindful breathing suited to older lungs
  • A short daily routine for the knees, hips, shoulders and lower back

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Steadier balance, which is the thing that decides how a fall ends
  • Joints kept moving through their range instead of quietly losing it
  • A calmer evening and, for many, easier sleep

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Seated warm-up: ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, neck
  2. Standing or chair asanas, with the wall or the chair back always within reach
  3. Slow breathing practice, never held to strain
  4. A long, guided relaxation to finish

What you keep for life

Balance, range of movement and independence held for longer: the things that decide how the next decade is actually lived.

Mobility kept is far easier than mobility recovered.

Yoga for Back Pain

A focused batch for lower back pain and stiffness: gentle asana, core support and posture retrained.

Most lower back pain arrives from sitting badly for years, and yoga is unusually good at that particular cause. This batch works the hips and hamstrings that pull on the back, builds the deep core that holds it up, and retrains how you sit and stand between classes. Anything that aggravates a disc is left out.

What you practise

  • The gentle back sequence: marjariasana, bhujangasana, setu bandhasana and supported twists
  • Hip and hamstring work, because that is where the pull usually starts
  • Core support built without crunches or loaded flexion
  • How to sit, stand, lift and sleep, so the practice is not undone by the day

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Stiffness that eases through the week rather than building through it
  • Strength in the muscles that hold the spine, so it is not always the back doing the work
  • A short routine for a bad morning, and a longer one for a good week

How the 45 minutes run

  1. A check on how the week went, and the day's practice adjusted to it
  2. Loosening and mobilising before anything is held
  3. The sequence of the week, with an alternative offered posture by posture
  4. Relaxation in a position that takes the load off the lower back

What you keep for life

An understanding of your own back: which movements settle it, which do not, and a routine you can run for the rest of your life without a teacher in the room.

The back usually asks for movement, not for rest.

Yoga for Neck & Shoulder Pain

For the neck, shoulders and upper back that a laptop and a phone have stiffened.

The neck and shoulders carry the posture a screen puts you in, and they say so by the afternoon. This batch opens the chest, mobilises the upper back and releases the neck, and then puts the desk itself right, because no practice beats eight hours of the position that caused it.

What you practise

  • Neck mobility done safely, without the fast circles that make it worse
  • Shoulder and upper-back work: garudasana arms, gomukhasana arms, supported chest opening
  • Release for the trapezius and the muscles between the shoulder blades
  • Desk set-up, screen height and the two-minute breaks that hold the gains

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Fewer tension headaches that begin at the base of the skull
  • Shoulders that sit back rather than creeping towards the ears
  • A short routine you can do at a desk without changing clothes

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Breath and gentle neck mobilisation to begin
  2. Shoulder, chest and upper-back sequence, corrected on camera
  3. Release work, held long enough to actually let go
  4. Guided relaxation with the neck fully supported

What you keep for life

A working posture you can return to for as long as you sit at a screen, and a two-minute routine that stops the stiffness before it becomes a headache.

The body holds whatever shape you keep giving it. Give it another.

Yoga for Stress, Anxiety & Sleep

Slow asana, pranayama and yoga nidra for an overloaded mind and a broken night.

An evening batch for people whose day does not switch off when it ends. The practice is deliberately slow: long holds, longer exhales, and yoga nidra, the guided rest yoga uses to take the nervous system down a gear. Patanjali defines yoga as the settling of the mind; this is that, practised rather than discussed.

What you practise

  • A restorative sequence held long, with props improvised from what is already at home
  • Pranayama for calming: nadi shodhana, bhramari, and lengthening the exhale
  • Yoga nidra, guided, until you can run it for yourself
  • A wind-down routine for the hour before bed

What it is reasonable to expect

  • A body that arrives at bedtime already slowed down
  • Something to do when the mind is racing, other than reaching for a phone
  • Attention that holds for longer through the working day

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Gentle movement, to release the day from the body
  2. Restorative postures, held with support
  3. Pranayama, with the exhale steadily lengthened
  4. Yoga nidra to close, lying down

What you keep for life

A reliable way to bring yourself down a gear, which you will use for the rest of your life: before a difficult conversation, after a hard day, at two in the morning.

Yoga is the settling of the movements of the mind (Yoga Sutra 1.2).

Yoga for Weight Loss

A more active batch: flowing Surya Namaskar, standing sequences and a routine you can keep.

The active end of the timetable: longer rounds of Surya Namaskar, standing sequences held for strength, and a pace that keeps moving. The honest part is said out loud in the first class: yoga gives you a routine you will actually keep, and what you eat decides much of the rest. No numbers are promised here.

What you practise

  • Surya Namaskar in progressive rounds, with the breath kept to the movement
  • Standing strength sequences: virabhadrasana, utkatasana, trikonasana
  • Core work pitched to your current level rather than to a photograph
  • Kapalabhati and agnisara, taught with the cautions that belong to them

What it is reasonable to expect

  • Stamina and strength that build week by week and are easy to measure
  • A habit that survives a busy month, which is what actually decides results
  • Better sleep and a steadier appetite, which do more than any single session

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Warm-up and joint work
  2. Rounds of Surya Namaskar, counted and paced
  3. Standing sequence and core work
  4. Cooling stretches, pranayama and savasana

What you keep for life

The habit itself: a way of moving you will still be doing in ten years, which is the only thing that ever decides the outcome.

The practice you keep beats the practice you admire.

Yoga for Women's Health

A women-only batch: PCOS, thyroid, periods and menopause, practised gently.

A women-only batch for what women most often bring to yoga: PCOS, thyroid trouble, painful periods, and the years around menopause. Hip openers, supported inversions and gentle forward bends, with a teacher who adjusts the practice around your cycle rather than ignoring it.

What you practise

  • Hip and pelvic work: baddha konasana, supta baddha konasana, malasana
  • The gentle supported inversions and shoulder work traditionally practised for the thyroid
  • How to practise through a period, and what to leave out that week
  • Pranayama and relaxation for the disturbed sleep and mood that come with all of it

What it is reasonable to expect

  • A practice that fits the month rather than fighting it
  • Stress lowered, which every one of these conditions is worsened by
  • A small batch of women where nothing has to be explained twice

How the 45 minutes run

  1. A quiet check-in, and the practice pitched to the week
  2. Gentle mobilisation, then the sequence of the week
  3. Supported and restorative postures, held long
  4. Pranayama and a full relaxation to close

What you keep for life

A practice that adapts with you, through cycles, pregnancy and the years after, rather than one you outgrow.

Practised with the body you have this week, not the one you had last year.

Yoga at Your Desk

Short, clothes-on sequences for the back, wrists, hips and eyes, built for a working day.

Thirty minutes for people who cannot get to a mat on a weekday. Everything is done standing or in a chair, in work clothes, with a screen in front of you: the sequences that undo a morning of sitting, and the two-minute versions to run between meetings.

What you practise

  • Chair and standing sequences for the lower back, hips and hamstrings
  • Wrist, forearm and finger work for a day spent typing
  • Eye exercises and breathing breaks for screen fatigue
  • Two-minute routines to run between meetings, without needing to change

What it is reasonable to expect

  • An afternoon that does not end with a stiff back and a sore neck
  • Attention reset several times a day instead of ground down once
  • A practice with no barrier at all: no mat, no change of clothes, no commute

How the 45 minutes run

  1. Seated mobilisation of the spine, shoulders and wrists
  2. A standing sequence beside the desk
  3. A breathing break, with the eyes rested
  4. The short version taught, so you can run it alone tomorrow

What you keep for life

A set of movements small enough that you will actually keep doing them, for every year you spend at a desk.

Thirty minutes kept beats ninety minutes intended.

Pranayama & Meditation

Breathwork and meditation taught in the classical sequence, by a teacher rather than an app.

The half of yoga that is not asana, taught in the order the tradition teaches it: the breath first, steadied and lengthened, and only then the attention. Grounded in Patanjali, practised rather than lectured, and paced so nothing is attempted before the step before it is comfortable.

What you practise

  • Diaphragmatic breathing, and how to tell whether you are actually doing it
  • Nadi shodhana, ujjayi, bhramari and sheetali, with ratios introduced gradually
  • Kapalabhati and bhastrika, with the cautions that belong to them
  • Meditation: trataka, japa and breath awareness, held for a workable length of time

What it is reasonable to expect

  • A way to steady yourself that needs no mat, no clothes and no room
  • Attention that can be brought back on purpose
  • The classical basis under the practices apps sell in pieces

How the 45 minutes run

  1. A brief loosening, so sitting still is possible
  2. The pranayama of the week, counted aloud together
  3. Meditation, guided and then progressively unguided
  4. A short daily sitting to keep between classes

What you keep for life

A way to steady yourself that needs nothing at all (no mat, no room, no equipment) and is therefore available to you for the rest of your life.

Steady the breath and the mind follows. That is the whole method.

What you need

A laptop or tablet

Placed so the teacher can see you head to toe. That camera is the whole difference from a video.

A mat, or a chair

A mat and about two metres of floor. For the seniors and desk batches, a steady chair is enough.

Two 45-minute classes a week

Two live classes, plus a short practice on the other days. The short practice is what makes it work.

Yoga batches are opening now and the timings are set with the families who join. Tell us the days and hours that suit you. We teach into 22 countries, so a batch at a sensible local hour is usually possible.

Questions before your first yoga class

Can yoga help my back pain?

For the common kind of lower back pain that comes from sitting badly, stiff hips and a weak core, a regular gentle practice helps a great many people, and that is what the back pain batch is built around. It is not medical treatment and we do not promise a result. If your pain follows an injury, radiates down a leg, or you are under treatment, speak to your doctor first and tell your teacher before the first class.

What is the right age to start yoga for kids?

From about four. Batches run at 4 to 6, 6 to 10 and 10 to 15, and the class is pitched at the band: the youngest learn postures as animals and games, the oldest learn the sequence, the names and the breathing behind it.

Is online yoga safe for seniors?

It is when the class is built for them and small enough that the teacher can see everyone. The seniors batch uses a chair or a wall for support throughout, leaves out the postures that put load on the neck, knees and spine, and asks about medication, replacements and surgery before the first class rather than after.

I have never done yoga before. Which class should I join?

Yoga for Adults if you are generally well and want a full practice, or the batch named for your complaint if something specific brought you here. Tell us on WhatsApp what is going on and we will say honestly which batch fits, including when the answer is neither.

Are the classes live or recorded?

Live, always, in small batches. A recording cannot see that your knee has drifted past your toes, and in yoga that correction is the entire point.

Do I need to be flexible to join?

No. Flexibility is an outcome, not a requirement, and every posture is offered with an easier alternative. Most adults who join us cannot touch their toes on the first day.

Can I do yoga during pregnancy or after surgery?

Tell us before you book. We do not run a prenatal batch at present, and after surgery your surgeon's clearance comes first. Where a general batch is not right for you we will say so rather than take the booking.

What do yoga classes cost?

Fees depend on the batch and how often it meets. Message us on WhatsApp for the current fee list. The 30-minute trial class is free, with no payment details taken.

No spam. We only call about your enquiry.

Yoga classes are a practice, not medical treatment. Tell us about any injury, surgery, pregnancy or condition before your first class, and speak to your doctor if you are under treatment. We do not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and a teacher will tell you plainly when a posture is not for you.

Yoga is one of our tracks

Sanskrit, shlokas, chanting, storytelling, speech and Bharatanatyam run alongside it, in the same small live batches. Many families take one of each.
