Ananda Yoga Foundation

We have been running the Ananda Yoga Foundation for a good while now. Our place is located at D 7 in Saraswat Colony, which is right off S T Road in Mahim. Mumbai is a very loud and fast city but we try to keep our small space a bit more relaxed. It isn't a fancy studio with high-end mirrors or expensive gear. We just have a clean floor and some mats for people to use. Most of the folks who come here are just living in the neighborhood. They walk over from the nearby apartment blocks in Mahim to spend an hour or two stretching. The building is an older one and has a bit of a lived-in feel to it. We have some fans to keep the air moving because it gets quite hot in the afternoons. We don't really do any big advertising or social media stuff. People usually find out about us because a friend told them or they saw our small sign while walking down S T Road. It is a very simple operation. We open up early in the morning before the sun gets too high and then we have sessions in the evening when people are done with their jobs. It is just a local spot for local people. We like the quiet routine of it all. There is no pressure here. You just come in, do your yoga, and go back to your day. It works for us.
