When my family asked me what I wanted as birthday gift this year, membership to the online class is what I asked for...Priyal’s classes at the gym opened a new dimension to my yoga experience...combined this with access to the virtual classes with Lalitha and Priyal over the last month, I couldn’t have asked for anything more...thank you both for your dedication to improving our lives...wish you both the best
-Azim Siddique
These classes have evolved my yoga and meditation practice for the better and I am incredibly grateful to have connected with Conscious Yoga Institute. Really an extraordinary organization with a meaningful vision. Thank you both for stewarding such a great cause.
-Nilofer
I practiced pre-natal yoga with Priyal in the last trimester of my first pregnancy, and I highly recommend him as a teacher! Every session left me feeling more relaxed and at ease, more mobile in my body, and generally stronger. Even when I didn’t want to move at all, the gentle flow always left me feeling better. His sessions are a perfect mix of meditative and active, and I felt completely safe the whole time. I think yoga is wonderful for pregnancy and Priyal is an excellent guide.
- Ila
I have a lower back problem ( spondylolisthesis), and I was apprehensive about joining online yoga classes. But I took to Lalitha's classes like a fish to water!! The 1:1 yoga sessions are designed to improve my specific condition. Lalitha so patiently and calmly explains all the practices to me and also how they're working on different parts of my body. Besides the weekly 1:1 sessions, I can freely join any of the group classes during the week. In a few weeks I have already started feeling more active and the strain on my lower back is reducing. A big thumbs up to the Conscious Yoga Institute team!! I am so glad I enrolled with them.

I have been taking Priyal’s Yoga classes. He's an amazing Instructor, always willing to help you in the class. I highly recommend everyone to attend his classes.
- Manika Nigam
Priyal is an excellent yoga teacher. He is creative, versatile, empathetic, and sensitive to all his yoga students. In class, he helps me, along with his other students, to develop body strength and mind awareness with easy instructions and always leading us back to our breath. Priyal ensures comfort and safety for his students by his knowledge about postures, breathing techniques, and spiritual awareness of his own yoga practice. He comes to class well prepared with thought out teachings from simple to complex for all levels of yoga students. Priyal makes class very comfortable checking in with us, adjusting lighting,and playing calming background music. Priyal has educated me and empowered me to take control of my health along with positive thoughts. I highly recommend him, a truly gifted teacher!
-Debbie Kromphardt
I have been taking personal meditation sessions from Lalitha for more than a year. She is an experienced coach, who understands the requirements well and accordingly designs the course. Overall, it has been great.

Our Services

Thoughtfully-curated Yoga practices facilitated as:

  • Group Classes
  • Personal (1-on-1) Classes
  • Special Workshops with topics such as the philosophy or Yoga, developing the qualities of equanimity, subtlety, or activeness through asana practice, in-depth exploration of pranayama techniques, and meditation.

Group Classes

We conduct regular beginner-level group classes. Join us to understand what Yoga is all about and develop a strong practice routine. Every class provides a well-rounded mix of asana, pranayama, and dhyana.

The recordings of these group classes are available for all to peruse on our YouTube channel. 

Personal Training courses

Curated sequences covering all the different aspects of Yoga (not just asanas, or postures) to enable the student to progressively go deeper on their Yoga journey. As we get students from all walks of life, the sequences are modified based on the individual’s needs and goals.

In these courses, the student meets with a lead teacher 1-1 once a week. On the other days of the week they can attend the group classes or practice on their own.

Yamas and Niyamas (Yogic Ethical Guidelines)
In addition to what we practice on the mat, the yogic texts also prescribe certain moral codes or ethical guidelines to help us progress more smoothly on the journey of Self realization. Observing the Yamas and Niyamas help us live a more connected life with ourselves and the rest of creation.

The Yamas of Ahimsa (non violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non stealing), Bramhacharya (conservation of energy for the right activities), and Aparigraha (non greed) are things to be mindful of in our interactions with others, though they can be applied to ourselves too.

The Niyamas of Shaucha (cleanliness), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (burning enthusiasm), Swadhyaya (knowledge gathering and self reflection), and Isvara Pranidhana (surrender to the One truth) are qualities or habits to develop in order to grow into our highest human potential.
1
Asana (Yoga postures)
We learn to release physical and mental blockages, stress and tension by moving the body into different postures. The tightness or rigidity that we carry in our bodies is because of conscious or unconscious physical, mental and emotional stances and habit patterns. Releasing all of that brings a free flow of energy and nutrition throughout the body, resulting in a state of wellbeing. We are able to easily tune into the happenings in the body and the flow of energy.

While moving into and holding the body in challenging postures, we practice with the intention of developing the following qualities that can transform our life:
- Equanimity (sustained inner state of balance and ease while the body is being challenged)
- Effortlessness even when it's challenging
- Body and spatial awareness
- SELF awareness
- Resilience (the ability to bounce back quickly and easily)
2
Pranayama (Breathwork)
We learn to breathe naturally and effortlessly and consequently, with constant breath awareness, become aware of the flow of prana/vital energy through our body.
The breath and our mind are closely connected. As our breathing becomes smooth and effortless, unnecessary mental activity reduces, resulting in a pleasant and balanced state of being. Sustained awareness of the breath can take us into deep stillness, leading to the realization of our true Self.

The breath is always happening and therefore easy to observe. Uninterrupted observation of the breath can lead one into a state of absorption where the sense organs are not drawn by external stimuli and all mental activity subsides.
3
Pratyahara (Withdrawal of Senses), Dharana (Concentration), Dhyana (Meditation)
As we reflect constantly through the asana and pranayama practices and allow the body and mind to open up and feel more at ease, we are ready to sit still and observe ourselves more closely. By sitting still and looking inward, observing the mind and its activity, we begin to see our thinking and reacting patterns, our strong fixed ideas of right and wrong, and how all these are causing us to live as very restricted and limited versions of ourselves.

We learn to drop all things that drain our energy unnecessarily, thereby reducing our impulsive reactions to external stimuli and our judgements of ourselves and others. The idea of a separate "I" whose life story is the center of our existence starts dissolving. We become more open to life, more clear in thinking and doing whatever fosters oneness; not separation.

In the state of complete absorption, even the idea of this body and mind we have, the world around us, nature, God, oneness, all disappear. There is no one seeking/seeing oneness, nothing/no one to feel one with. That state of absorption can give us a glimpse of the one absolute reality.

Why Yoga?

Yoga was conceptualized by the sages of ancient India as a transformative spiritual tool accessible to all human beings to end their suffering and achieve their highest human potential.
Yoga, when practiced the right way, will show you your true SELF--Consciousness/the God within. Instead of seeing yourself as the limited self, whose life revolves around "I", "me", and "mine", you start seeing yourself as the SELF that you are; the same infinite essence that is present everywhere, in every being. The ego, which is merely a misunderstanding that "I" am a finite, limited self, starts dissolving. With the ego out of the way your life expression will be at its creative best, filled with joy and unconditional love.

Each of the 8 limbs of Yoga practice prescribed in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras helps us purify, cleanse, and settle the body and mind so that we can experientially understand the reality of our Being and this creation that we are a part of.
