Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga is exactly what it sounds like: Soft, slow, and mindful movement that honors your body exactly as it is today.

There’s no rushing, no striving, no pushing through pain or discomfort. This practice is designed for people who need rest as much as they need movement, who are healing, recovering, or simply seeking a calmer way to reconnect with their body.

At Shakuntala Yogshala, we believe yoga should feel like a refuge, not a challenge. Gentle Yoga creates space for you to breathe, release tension, and feel held, without any pressure to perform.

Benefits of Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga offers a different kind of strength
The kind that comes from softening, not forcing. While other styles focus on building power or endurance, Gentle Yoga focuses on restoration, presence, and deep listening to your body.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduces stress and calms the nervous system
  • Releases chronic tension held in the body
  • Improves flexibility without strain
  • Supports emotional balance and mental clarity
  • Encourages mindful breathing and body awareness
  • Safe for all ages and fitness levels
  • Helps with insomnia and sleep quality
  • Creates a sense of safety and grounding

This practice doesn’t demand anything from you. It simply invites you to arrive as you are.

Who is This For?

Gentle Yoga is for anyone who needs a slower, softer approach to movement and healing.

You don’t need to be “good at yoga” or flexible. You just need to be willing to pause, breathe, and listen to your body.

This practice is especially supportive for 

  • People recovering from injury or illness
  • Those dealing with chronic pain or fatigue
  • Beginners who feel intimidated by faster-paced classes
  • Anyone experiencing high stress, anxiety, or burnout
  • Older adults looking for safe, mindful movement
  • People with limited mobility or joint concerns
  • Anyone who simply wants to feel calm and grounded

If you’ve ever felt like yoga was “too much” or “not for you,” this practice will change that

When you practice Gentle Yoga with us, you’re not just joining a class,
You’re entering a space where your body is respected, your pace is honored, and your presence is enough.

We move slowly, with intention. No rushing through poses or chasing results.

We offer modifications for every body. You’re encouraged to adapt, rest, or skip anything that doesn’t feel right.

We create a safe, non-judgmental space. There’s no comparison, no performance, just honest practice.

We focus on breath and awareness. This isn’t just physical, it’s a practice of coming home to yourself.

Our classes are small and personal. You’re seen, supported, and guided with care.
