About
Savira Gupta
I come from a family of strong women rooted in the Arya Samaj Tradition; a tradition that was founded in April 1875 by Swami Dayananda Saraswati, who wanted to revive the Vedic way of life and the need to create a just society for all despite color, cast or creed.
Having spent my childhood in Malaysia, formative years in India, teenage years in France and adult years both in the UK and USA, I believe that this has given me the foundation to relate to people from all walks of life.
Using a Vedantic approach into Self inquiry within the realm of yoga and life has been my practice for several years. This led me to establish my own training Art of Svādhyāya™ through Yin and Hatha Yoga.
I believe in education and bringing awareness within western yoga on how yoga is much more than asana - it is a way of life.

Yoga with Me
1:1 Online Yoga
Private Sessions
Hatha Yoga comes from the Nath lineage where the practice moves from gross to the subtle body. Shatkarma, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra/Bandha, Pratyhara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi are components of Hatha Yoga.
A slower-paced practice where postures are held with the focus on pranayama; to allow the practitioner to marinate with the subtle energies of the mind, body connection.
Beginning with yogic philosophy and daily life reflections sprinkled with humour ending in meditation.
This path can be challenging.
Yin Yoga a slow meditative practice targets connective tissues and joints of the lower body. Suitable for all levels. It is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular styles of yoga. Yin Yoga can sometime feel quite passive but let me tell you it is quite challenging due to the long holds of each pose.
The advantage of a 1:1 online session is that each class is designed to suit YOU the practitioner. Be it with an asana practice or yogic philosophy.
