‘The equanimity that enables us to accept all circumstances with serenity is yoga.’
– Bhagavad Gita –
Yoga Shala
Set along the edge of a conservation forest beside a quiet stream, the shala opens to trees, shifting light and distant snow peaks. It holds space for both practitioners and those finding their way in. A place to explore, to question, and to return to what matters.
Yoga Practice
Yoga at Swara is shared as a lived practice, shaped around the individual rather than the form. Guided by Ganesh Upadhyay, each session is held with attention, responding to where you are rather than where you think you should be.
We offer Ashtanga Mysore self-practice. A self-paced approach where each practitioner moves with their own breath and rhythm, within a shared space. Over time, the practice settles, breath leads, movement follows.
Asana (physical postures) offers a ground from which other aspects of yoga unfold—pranayama, philosophy, chanting and Sanskrit.
There is no fixed path here. Only a gradual deepening.
'Do your practice and all is coming.'
K. Pattabhi Jois
The Rhythm of the Day
Asana practice begins in the morning, when the air is clear and the mountains are most present. From there, the day opens. What follows is yours to shape.
A more subtle practice unfolds in the late afternoon, combining breathwork and yoga philosophy to ease the day as the sun prepares to set.
Holding Space
The shala accommodates a small group of practitioners with room for up to 24 mats.
It remains open through the seasons for teachers and facilitators who wish to gather, share, and explore. Workshops, retreats and conversations take form here, often guided by intention rather than schedule.
For Those Who Wish to Host
If you’re gathering students, friends or fellow practitioners, we can shape a programme around your rhythm and intention. Swara lends itself easily to collaboration. A place where ideas are exchanged, and learning continues beyond the mat.
The practice begins on the mat.
It rarely stays there.
