With an emphasis on teaching distilled Indian Yoga practices adapted for our modern Western lifestyle, Kavi is passionate about helping people improve their physical / mental health through Yoga and founded Good Health Yoga Centre in London. Our mission is to help 10,000 people improve their health through Yoga over the next decade.
Good Health Yoga Centre offers Vinyasa Flow Yoga, De-Stress Yoga and Dynamic Hatha Yoga classes and private lessons in Central and South East London - Southwark (at Age UK - the UK's largest charity supporting older people), Canary Wharf, Greenwich and surrounding areas. Classes incorporate modern scientific stress management and mindfulness techniques to improve focus, clarity and performance.
Strongly influenced by her Indian Yogic family and Tirumalai Krishnamacharya - the 'father of modern Yoga', Kavi endeavours to make Yoga accessible to people as a normal lifestyle choice rather than as an exclusive exercise class. Believing that there is no "ideal pose" or "perfection" in Yoga, Kavi follows Krishnamacharya's style of teaching each person according to his or her ability, embodying the essence of Yoga, keeping it authentic and true for people from all walks of life and all ages / fitness levels, regardless of nationality, religion, gender or age. At Good Health Yoga Centre, Kavi's classes and private lessons are popular following this approach, maintaining the traditional Yogic aspect of low student-teacher ratio and individual attention.
Yoga is not about holding a certain pose, being very flexible or wearing a certain brand of sportswear. It is simply harnessing the ability of our own bodies and minds to be healthy.
