Questions about classes

Do I need yoga experience?

No. Daily classes are open to all levels, and private sessions are shaped around where you are starting from. Your first class

What time are the classes?

Every day, mornings 7:30–9:30 am and afternoons 3:30–5:30 pm. Some mornings the class moves to Secret Garden, 8:00–9:30 am, so message us on WhatsApp the evening before a morning class.

Can I join for just one class?

Yes. Walk-in classes have no long-term commitment, so travellers can join for a single class or return throughout their stay.

How long is each yoga class?

Two hours. That is longer than most yoga classes, and deliberate: it leaves room for breathing practice before the postures and a proper twenty-minute relaxation at the end. Inside a two-hour class

Are there yoga classes for beginners in Fort Kochi?

Yes — every daily class is open to complete beginners. Postures are offered in easier versions, the pace is steady rather than fast, and around a third of the two hours is spent breathing and resting. How often to practise

Is this Sivananda yoga?

The classes follow the traditional order Master Aksharanand trained in within the Sivananda tradition: relaxation, pranayama, sun salutations, the classical postures and a long final relaxation. The school itself is independent and is not an official Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centre. Sivananda yoga in Kochi

Where should I stay for the morning class?

Anywhere in Fort Kochi itself is within walking distance of the 7:30 class; the lanes around Chirattapalam are closest. Ernakulam, across the harbour, is too far for a daily practice. Where to stay in Fort Kochi
