Great job! Hope the 20-day challenge helped motivate you. I started walking 7–8k steps daily from January. We’ll be launching more such challenges soon.

I missed it

@gail-40 We currently have these free events upcoming in Jan: https://teeuthgj.top/group-classes/Reset-Your-Body-for-2026-A-Hatha-Yoga-Flow https://teeuthgj.top/group-classes/start-2026-without-burnout-fix-your-nervous-system We dont have one for weight loss currently… we did one in December on this topic.

Sure. @tch-archana-1 @tch-gomati-1 @tch-rachna-2 @tch-rashika-1 @tch-priya-1 can take laughter yoga sessions.

Kanupriya: I agree with all that you said, except “age is just a number.” Clearly, you are still young! I was always active, vibrant, positive, and hopeful until age descended upon me, (in my 60’s) and my body rebelled against many previous activities. Now, at nearly 77, I have many aches and pains that have come from aging, and I don’t have the positivity I had in my youth. It takes work, focus and mindfulness to reach contentment these days. Thankfully, I have yoga to carry me through that process, while I continue to navigate unexpected aches and pains.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to pop in with a gentle reminder about Monday evening’s class at 9:30pm EST. This practice is a chance to slow down and breathe as 2025 comes to a close. We’ll move through simple, supported Yin poses (with chair options), guided by the idea of taking a quiet walk past the year — noticing that it’s behind us, without needing to analyse or relive it. There’s no pressure to reflect deeply or feel a certain way. You’re welcome to simply rest, be present, and let the practice hold you. Come as you are whether tired, curious, full, or empty. Feel free to bring a loved one, play your own music, light a candle, or set the tone in whatever way feels comforting to you. This hour is about settling, not fixing. I’d love to have you there.

You have to wait for 30mins

@angela-242 thanks for highlighting this issue, we have released the fix for this issue.

Hi @angela-242 , thanks for highlighting this issue, it was indeed a tech issue and fix was rolled out couple of days ago. We see that your reviews are present on the right classes now. Thanks again for your love for the platform and teachers, please keep the feedbacks flowing.

@roland-6 Only relaxing chanting, pranayama and meditation in meditation pose or supine pose before bedtime. No need for dynamic or asanas.

@kathy-562 🧘‍️ Yoga During Menstruation Why Modify Yoga During Periods? Respects the body’s natural flow – Avoids disrupting Apana Vayu (downward energy). Reduces strain – Prevents pressure on the abdomen and uterus. Honors low energy – Gentle practices match hormonal changes. Promotes relaxation – Helps ease pain, mood swings, and stress. Encourages self-care – Builds body awareness and inner respect. General Note: Stay hydrated and listen to your body. If you feel tired or experience pain (especially on Day 1), it’s okay to rest or just do gentle seated/reclining practices like Butterfly Pose. Avoid (To Protect Apana Vayu & Prevent Strain) Inversions (Headstand, Shoulderstand, Viparita Karani with hips elevated) Abdominal compression or stretching (e.g., Boat Pose, Bow Pose) Strong forward or backward bends (e.g., Paschimottanasana, Chakrasana) Surya Namaskar — especially on Day 1 & 2; later only if pain-free Forceful breathing techniques (Kapalbhati, Bhastrika, Simha Garjana) Recommended Practices (Gentle Only — No Exertion) Do only if there’s no excessive pain or heavy flow: Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana or Supta version) – very helpful 🪑 Legs Up on Chair – gentle relief for back and legs (avoid if flow is heavy) 🧍‍️ Malasana (Garland Pose) – if comfortable, releases pelvic tension Joint Loosening (Sukshma Vyayama) – simple movements for circulation ️ Om chanting, A-U-M sounds (Nadanusandhana) ️ Alternate Nostril Breathing (Anulom Vilom) Bhramari (Bee Breath) – calms mind and nervous system Sectional Breathing (Abdominal, Thoracic, Clavicular awareness) Tiger Breathing (Marjari variation) – skip Day 1 if painful Yoga Nidra – best for full-body relaxation and mental calm 🧘‍️ Supported Restorative Poses – like supported Balasana or reclining twist with bolster ️ Important Reminder Inform your yoga instructor — you’ll receive personalized guidance for safer practice. Summary The goal during menstruation is to support the body’s natural cleansing process (Apana Vayu), reduce discomfort, and enhance relaxation — not to push or challenge. Less is more.

@julie-548 Hey Julie, I would love to host you in Bengaluru and show you a few places of interest of yoga and spirituality.
