We teach Hatha Yoga as a transformative process.

The transformation will not only be on the level of your body but in the way you are.

Hatha Yoga stems from a deep understanding of the mechanics of the body, and uses yogic postures, or yogasanas, to enable the system to sustain higher dimensions of energy.

By practicing this profound science, one can change and enhance the way they think, feel, and experience life. Hatha Yoga is about creating a body that is not a hurdle in your life. The body becomes a stepping stone in the progress towards blossoming into your ultimate possibility.

Core Hatha Yoga Practices for Body and Mind

Explore powerful Hatha Yoga practices like Surya Kriya, Angamardana, Yogasanas, and Upa Yoga, designed to enhance vitality, balance, and inner wellbeing.

  • Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner well-being. “Surya” means “sun,” and “kriya” means “inner energy process.” Surya Kriya activates the solar plexus to raise the samat prana, or solar heat, in the system. It also balances a person’s left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. This strong foundation becomes the basis to explore higher dimensions of life.

  • A series of 31 dynamic processes, rooted in yoga, to invigorate the body and reach peak physical fitness. Angamardana means gaining complete mastery over the limbs, organs and other parts of the body. It needs no fitness equipment.

  • Hatha Yoga is offered as a set of 21 powerful postures, or yogasanas, to enable the system to sustain higher dimensions of energy. This profound science enhances how one thinks, feels, and experiences life. Isha’s program requires no special physical agility or previous experience of yoga. It is not merely physical exercise, but enables a person to flower into his ultimate potential; to naturally achieve a state of health, joy, and bliss.

  • Upa-yoga is a simple yet powerful system of exercise that activates the joints, muscles, and energy system. Based on a sophisticated understanding of the body’s mechanics, Upa-yoga dispels inertia in the body’s energy and brings ease to the whole system. It relieves physical stress and tiredness.

Namaskaram & Hello!

My name is Deepak Shakya, and I am a certified Hatha Yoga teacher based in the UK, offering yoga classes in central London and online. I trained at Sadhguru Gurukulam (formerly known as the Isha School of Hatha Yoga) at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, India. From July to December 2022, I undertook an intensive residential training programme of over 1,750 hours, immersing myself in the depth of Classical Hatha Yoga.

This transformative training set me on a lifelong journey of holistic inner growth — one that goes far beyond physical postures. Through these ancient yogic practices, I discovered a profound integration of mind, body, and energy, creating space for true inner balance and wellbeing.

Continuing on this path, I founded YogaSattva to share the powerful tools of Classical Hatha Yoga with people across the UK and beyond. It brings me immense joy to witness others experience the same inner transformation that first inspired my own practice. Whether you are new to yoga or looking to deepen your journey, I am here to guide you in exploring your full potential through these timeless yogic sciences.

And now, Yoga.
