The feel is that of an ashram and it integrates all the five elements.

The feel is that of an ashram and it integrates all the five elements. Jyotii Subramanian’s yoga studio at Dale Farms in Chandigarh transports you to another world. Here,Jyotii follows and teaches the practices of Hamsa Yoga Sangh and its founder Yogiraj Siddhanath. A special and intimate place is what Jyotti wanted for her to guide students to a holistic way of life,through specialised practice of Hamsa asanas,exercises to balance chakras with awareness,access solar energy to heal the body and mind and breath control to facilitate letting go of stubborn and deep-rooted syndromes that lead to fear,grief,anxiety,negative thinking. Designed by architect Ajai Johl,breathtaking is the special roof here,built and created by an artist from Rohtak according to an old technique without any iron to support the span. “The large terrace allows students to practice Siddhanath Surya Yoga and the mainstay of the practice is the Mahavatar Babajis Kundalini Kriya Yoga,’’ Jyotii says the centre organises meditations on full moon nights to radiate earth peace through self-peace and all this is done at a pace to suit the individual student,with options of monthly classes,as well as weekend courses.

Instead of cluttered spaces,crowded gyms,overloaded dance classes,fitness studios are now the new places to be at. It’s a totally unique experience,smiles Puneet,who has set up a dance and fitness hub in Sector 34. New York trained and certified dancer,the studio offers classes in both dance and fitness. Jazz,street jazz,hip-hop contemporary ,lyrical and Bollywood,Puneet makes sure her classes are engrossing as she combines bhangra aerobics,latin aerobics,pilates too. “A studio is more personal and exclusive. You are not rushing to do five different things at one time,but enjoying a one-hour class which has a specific focus and feel,gives you personal attention and help one burn as many as 600 to 700 calories per class. I do two days of cardio,body conditioning with light weights et al,’’ the studio is white with wooden floors and has a calming effect.
