Namaste, I am Archana - a certified Yoga teacher, Ayurveda Practitioner & a mind-body  wellbeing advocate.

Having learnt traditional Ashtanga Yoga - from the 100+ year old 'The Yoga Institute' Mumbai, India & Ashtanga Vinyasa from 'Indea Yoga' in Mysore (The birthplace of Ashtanga Yoga) - I follow the traditions & wisdom where:

a. alignment & technique are most crucial for a safe & strong physical practice
b. Yoga should be practiced in harmony of the body, breath & mind &
c. True Yoga Happens Beyond The Mat!

My aim is to help people find balance & feel great, both in body and mind.

I teach yoga classes and workshops and offer a range of holistic services from my studio in Pinner, London. I take personal sessions, online, group, special programs / events for organisations and other groups.

I am trained & certified in the practice of Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Yoga for Cancer Rehabilitation & Recovery, Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy & Counselling | Chakra Healing (certifications at the bottom of this page).

I love reading, listening to podcasts on my runs, the mountains, warm croissants & Chai!

After over 2 decades of a fortunate yet formidable corporate media life, I now find myself truly content & blessed practicing yoga & sharing my practise with my students.

Why the name 'Atha'?

'Atha Yoga Anushanam’

..so reads the first aphorism (sutra) of Guru Patanjali’s 2000 year old yoga guidebook ‘Yoga Sutra’, which literally translates to -

- ‘Now, the teaching & self-discipline of yoga begins’!

Inspired by this Sutra & with deepest reverence for the tradition of Classical Ashtanga Yog, I have initiated on this path of eternal learning & sharing my passion with you all.

With 'Atha Yoga Shala', I welcome you to join me on this exhilarating journey of self discovery.

See you on the mat!
