About Us
The hearts, souls and guiding hands behind Magic of Yoga — dedicated to guiding students on a journey of mindfulness, alignment-focused yoga, and lasting wellness.
The Hearts & Hands of Magic of Yoga
Our studio is co-founded by two dedicated practitioners who share a vision of making authentic, healing yoga accessible to everyone. Meet the instructors guiding your journey.
Mayuri (1000Hrs YTTC)
Mayuri’s yoga journey began during the COVID period, when she was searching for balance, healing, and inner strength in her own life. What started as a personal practice soon grew into a deep passion and a life-changing experience.
She completed her Teacher Training Course with RS Yoga School and later pursued advanced training with The Yoga Institute to deepen her understanding of alignment, anatomy, breathwork, and the traditional philosophy of yoga. Through this journey, Mayuri discovered the true “magic” of yoga — its ability to heal the body, calm the mind, and positively transform everyday life.
“For Mayuri, yoga is not about perfection — it is about feeling better, living healthier, and finding peace within.”
What began as small home classes gradually evolved into a dedicated studio space with the love and support of her students, friends, and family. Today, she teaches with warmth, patience, and personal attention, creating a welcoming environment where every student feels comfortable and encouraged.
Her classes focus on mindful movement, proper alignment, strength, flexibility, stress relief, and building a deeper connection with oneself.
Practice With Mayuri →Sarswati Shetty (500Hrs RYT _ YAI Certified)
Sarswati Shetty is a certified Yoga Coach (500 Hrs RYT - YAI Certified) and a certified Pranic Healer (Basic Level). Her personal journey in the field of yoga has been a transformative experience, both physically and mentally.
As a yoga coach, her goal is to help others discover the power of the practice and how it can positively impact their lives. She is committed to creating a welcoming, nurturing, and judgment-free space where individuals can explore, heal, and deepen their practice.
“I believe that yoga has the potential to improve not only physical health but also mental well-being, and I am committed to sharing this knowledge.”
Sarswati's classes focus on structural awareness, breath control, and energy healing integration. By weaving Pranic healing principles into yoga, she helps students release physical blocks and quiet emotional stress, fostering a profound sense of community, connection, and inner stillness.
Her ultimate goal is to inspire others to incorporate yoga into their daily lives and experience the profound benefits that it can bring to the mind, body, and spirit.

A Philosophy Rooted in Ancient Wisdom
Our teaching philosophy draws from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and the Bhagavad Gita — ancient texts that form the bedrock of authentic yogic practice. Every class is designed to guide you inward, beyond the physical postures.
Alignment-First Teaching
Every posture is taught with meticulous attention to anatomical alignment. Our founders use verbal cues, demonstrations, and gentle hands-on adjustments to ensure your practice is both safe and effective.
Breath as the Foundation
Before the body moves, the breath leads. Pranayama is woven into every class — not as a separate practice, but as the foundation that elevates every asana from exercise to meditation.
Personalised Modifications
No two bodies are the same. We provide individual modifications, props and variations so every student — regardless of age, flexibility or experience — can practise with confidence.
Mind-Body Integration
Classes aren't just physical workouts. Through guided visualisation, intention setting, and mindful transitions, each session becomes a complete mind-body experience.
“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life.”
— Aadil Palkhivala
Our Core Values
These principles guide every class, every interaction, and every decision at Magic of Yoga. They are not just words — they are our lived practice.
Authenticity
Every class is rooted in traditional yogic philosophy — not trends. We teach what has stood the test of thousands of years, honouring lineage while making it accessible.
Compassion
Yoga is not about perfection — it's about showing up. We teach with warmth, patience and zero judgment. Your pace is the right pace.
Transformation
Real change happens slowly and deeply. We create space for lasting transformation — physical, emotional and spiritual. Growth, not performance.
Community
The studio is a family. Students support each other, celebrate milestones together and grow in a nurturing, inclusive environment.
Mindfulness
Every practice is an opportunity to cultivate awareness. We emphasise the mind-body connection in every breath, every posture, every moment.
Holistic Wellness
Yoga extends beyond the mat. We integrate breathwork, meditation, guided meditation and lifestyle guidance for whole-person wellbeing.
