Our Story

Yoga as it was meant to be taught.

Kavita Nair opened Praana in 2018 after 15 years studying under traditional teachers in Mysuru and Rishikesh. She returned to Kolkata with one clear intention: to offer a practice rooted in classical yoga philosophy, not fitness industry packaging.

The studio sits on the first floor of a house on Lake Road, surrounded by trees. No mirrors, no music, no drop-in culture — just a disciplined, intimate practice environment where students are known by name. Maximum class size is 12. We have never advertised.

  • RYT-500 certified teaching team (Yoga Alliance registered)
  • Classical Hatha lineage — Krishnamacharya tradition
  • Maximum 12 students per class, always
  • No mirrors, intentional design for internal focus

Our Principles

Not a gym. Not a spa. A practice.

Classical Foundation

Every class is grounded in classical yoga philosophy — Patanjali's eight limbs, not just the physical postures. We teach asana as one part of a complete practice, not the whole of it.

Small Groups

12 students maximum. This is not a number we ever compromise. It means the teacher can actually observe your alignment, adjust your breath, and know where you are in your practice.

No Mirrors

Mirrors shift attention outward. We practice feeling the body from within, not watching it from outside. It is more challenging and more rewarding. Most students adjust within two weeks.

Consistency Matters

We don't offer drop-in culture. Students commit to a monthly or termly schedule. Yoga is a practice, not a product. Consistency is the only way it works — and we hold students to that.

Personal Adjustments

Every student gets physical adjustments and breath guidance during every class. This is what differentiates a small studio from a gym class. It is also why the maximum is 12.

Simple Space

Jute mats, wooden floors, natural light, and trees outside. We spent nothing on décor and everything on teaching. The space serves the practice — not the other way around.
