Holy Roots Yoga

I have been looking for a suitable yoga class to join for some time and so grateful to my friend when she invited me to join her in her private lesson with Vashnavi. Right from the start, Vashnavi is very professional and her gentle approach to yoga makes her class very enjoyable. She also has a wealth of knowledge regarding the benefits of yoga on our body and has helped me in my digestion and sleep apnoea. Overall, I can definitely feels the difference in my body after practicing yoga- lighter and my digestion has improved. I highly recommend Vashnavi to anyone looking for a yoga teacher. What truly impressed me is her ability to connect with people and her generosity in sharing her knowledge and the way she structured the class to tailor to your body’s specific needs.

I have got so much more out of the yoga sessions with Vaishnavi than I expected.
I feel more energised and in control of my body.
The breathing techniques that I have been taught have been so useful in several aspects of my life. For instance, I find that I can use the techniques in sport, work and everyday situations.
They are a great tool to deal with stress and anxiety.
My flexibility has improved significantly and with that I find that the stiffness and aches and pains that I have had have been reduced.
I find Vaishnavi easy to follow and understand. She is always delightful to deal with…. Gently pushing me to make progress.
Significantly, it took much less time to get benefits from the yoga than I was expecting.
I have been working with Vaishnavi for a year and a half and she constantly introduces new asanas/poses which means that it never gets boring or predictable.
I have been recommending Vaishnavi's yoga to all my friends.

It is a pleasure to have come across Holy roots yoga and met Vaishnavi (although virtually - during the lockdown).
She is a learned coach with a humble yet methodical approach, who not only navigated me through physical aspects of yoga rather align them with the soul.
I was practicing yoga and meditation for couple of years, however, her guidance and explanation helped me related the connection between the two.
When we first spoke, we discussed my areas of focus/concerns. She then meticulously designed the program to help me get the most out of my yoga practice. The results were seen within first few weeks which encouraged me keep practicing regularly.
One-on-one sessions helped correct the postures, discuss any difficulties, any further customization needed in the poses/plan etc. Following her tips helped enhance the postures and experience with an ease along with the benefits and reasons behind it.
She is a good listener, very friendly and generous to share ways to improve continuously.
I can proudly say that I have met the right coach and am eagerly waiting for her next session already:). It's like a mind-body-soul spa session which rejuvenates my whole being.

I would highly recommend Holy roots yoga to anyone looking for a great yoga experience, enhanced awareness and a deeper connection with self.

At the age of 78, my body was becoming increasingly hunched, weak and stiff, despite years of exercising. A friend connected me with Vaishnavi Vyas via Zoom, and a lovely friendship has developed, in addition to great benefits to the body. Vaishnavi's soothing voice, with calm and clear instructions, create a meditative, focused approach to body alignments and movements. Her kind praises for the slightest improvements are very encouraging, and her gentle tailoring of the practices to my individual needs and limitations make progress possible in gradual steps. I love to watch her showing me how a practice should ultimately look, for her graceful perfection is very inspiring. Doing yoga under Vaishnavi's guidance has become a wonderful part of my daily exercises, and I think the benefits are even manifesting in my work, with a more relaxed and organized approach evolving. In addition, it is always a great pleasure to spend time with this lovely human being. - Mary Pat Fisher, Gobind Sadan, New Delhi

I have been practising Hatha yoga on and off over the years and during these challenging times of lockdowns/ uncertainty, yoga has helped my body and mind immensely. I feel lucky to have connected with Vaishnavi and her Holy Roots Yoga sessions during this time.
Her approach to yoga resonated with me and it was the style I sought - the yoga of being aware, of being mindful of what is happening ‘inside’/within, with the breath, within one’s body as opposed to simply going through the motions of a specific set routine to achieve a final perfected pose. I feel my awareness of my breathing has improved and when going through the motions of an asana, the awareness to self-correct postures and limbs has been heightened.
The yoga sessions have been so calming and leave me energised for the day!
I find doing even a little bit everyday is so important and if I miss a day, it feels as though I’ve forgotten an important routine of my day, as important as brushing one’s teeth!

For the last couple of months Vaishnavi has been my yoga teacher/carer.
I have a debilitating long term illness and have found her care has been effective at managing my daily symptoms.
Vaishnavi is a warm, kind and compassionate soul who has shared a lot of her wisdom and teachings with me.
I have found Vaishnavi to be a genuine and supportive yoga teacher/carer who is able to work in a non judgemental manner with people who have a disability. She also has the ability to adapt to a situation when needed.
It has been invaluable to have Vaishnavi support me in my personal home environment and when I am too unwell I can still catch up with her online and still receive a wonderful service.
Everytime I see Vaishnavi I have more energy afterwards which is beneficial to me!
Vaishnavi is very patient and will work with you at your own pace and needs.
I have now at 48 years of age discovered how to breathe "properly" with the 'belly breathing techniques'.
I have found her teachings to be authentic and unique and so much better than the typical yoga classes I have previously attended.
I personally recommend Vaishnavi for people who want to benefit from a holistic service to improve their health and well-being.

Vaishnavi emanates love and kindness.she graciously shares her wisdom and practices. Through her guidance I have been re awakened to past practices of yoga, with all the benefits, but in a short space of time. I have reconnected with the energy inside of me.and externally, through mindfulness and exercises to help me feel that connection. Some practices are so powerful that they fill me with bright white shining light.that brings me joy, elation and love. Powerful stuff! If you are serious about finding the right person to lead you there. Vaishnavi is your lady. She is your friend, your guide, she is gentle, kind and patient.

I am lucky to have found such a learned and honest yoga guru. I had issues with my shoulders and digestion in general. Vaishnavi, gathered the facts of my problem and probably spent a lot of time before she came back with a list of exercises suitable for me. BTW, I has hip fracture so my movement is very restrictive.

I feel taller than before and feel lot heathier than before. Thanks for the effort.

Vaishnavi is super professional and he focus is purely and purely to help people.

No commercial motive at all. We were very happy with the first free session and now going for regular sessions. Charges are very nominal. I am sure she will help us and heal us too.

God bless her and her family.

We, my 9yo son and I, have been taking Holy Yoga twice a week for almost 4 months now and we are absolutely loving it!

Her directions are always clear and precise so even if you are a complete beginner like me, you would never get lost during the session. It could be challenging sometimes and you have to work hard but somehow always come out super relaxed. I especially love the meditation at the end. It taught me how to completely relax my body using breathing techniques and it really helps especially when I have a bad headache or can’t sleep at night. Also my son is always proud telling his grandparents about Yoga class and trying to teach them some of the poses. He is learning to concentrate even better through the meditation. Highly recommended and thank you Vaishnavi!

I have been participating in Holy roots Yoga? ‍️ for a month now and wow my flexibility has improved tremendously. Viashnavi gives clear and simple instructions so even if you’re a beginner it’s easy to follow. The meditation is also wonderful as during these times I myself and many others finding it hard to relax. I love taking these classes easy online and in my private space. I highly recommend Holy Roots Yoga to anyone looking for fitness and relaxation. It’s for beginners or intermediate yogis. Thank you Viashnavi for the experience.

We are doing yoga for my Mum who had been struggling with an illness. What started off as a pure chitchat of 'Can you please teach yoga for my mum? ' has now been 3.5 months and has been a very enjoyable time.
Vaishnavi has been teaching yoga for nearly 3.5 months now. Her passion for yoga and her kindness and patience in teaching my elderly parents has been beyond description. She not only teaches her yoga but also explains the various benefits and details in the picture.
My mum has benefited immensely by this and i can see her confidence coming back. Her postures are better now as compared to when she started off.
My mum thoroughly enjoys her sessions and is very keen every week.
Thank you Vaishnavi for doing this for my mother!
Appreciate your efforts.
I would highly recommend Vaishnavi
