aavya rise · upper tapovan, rishikesh
A thoughtfully curated menu of yoga, movement and breathwork practices in our panoramic Yoga Shala. Drop in any day — no booking needed.
"At Aavya, movement is not performance. Every class is an invitation to meet the body honestly — where it is, not where you think it should be."
Each class is a different door into the body. Come curious, leave changed. All sessions are drop-in — just arrive.
A fluid, intelligent approach to movement drawing from somatic therapy, functional patterns, and yogic principles. No fixed sequence — just an honest dialogue with the body as it is today.
Long, passive holds that reach deep into connective tissue. Yin is the counterweight to a busy world — a practice of surrender, stillness, and release. Perfect for evenings, or any time you need to slow down and come back inward.
Bodyweight strength — no machines, no weights, just the full potential of the human frame. Calisthenics joins our offerings soon, completing a wholesome movement menu alongside yoga and somatic practice.
Long before movement, there is breath. Each practice here offers a different relationship with the most intimate rhythm you carry.
"Breath is the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious. Every tradition knew this. We keep re-discovering it."
Classical pranayama practices — nadi shodhana, kapalabhati, bhramari — woven with somatic awareness. Offered regularly to regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and prepare the body for stillness or movement.
Shorter breathwork woven into the rhythm of the day — gentle circular breathing, box breath, and extended exhale practices. These are available as add-ons within retreats, personal mornings, and yoga sessions.
All sessions are drop-in — no booking required. Just arrive, settle in, and let the practice meet you where you are. Sessions run daily in our panoramic Yoga Shala in Upper Tapovan.
