A seasoned yoga teacher and movement practitioner who believes the most transformative thing a person can do is slow all the way down.
Padmashree C Jain has been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade. She co-runs a well-loved studio in Sahakar Nagar, Bengaluru, where she guides daily Hatha and Vinyasa classes and leads comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training programs.
Over years of teaching in the city, she noticed a pattern: even the most dedicated students would leave class stressed about what came next. The practice was landing, but life was swallowing it. She began asking a different question — not how to make yoga more intense, but how to give people more space to actually feel it.
That question became Pragalbha Retreat Co. Her vision: spaces that are quiet, inviting, and genuinely relaxing — where yoga is woven naturally into the rhythm of the days, not scheduled as a performance.
Wisdom lives in the body before it reaches the mind. Yoga, for Padmashree, is the practice of listening — long before it is the practice of performing.
She designs retreats with long, open afternoons on purpose. Unscheduled time isn't empty — it's the container where integration actually happens.
The most profound learning she has witnessed on retreat has happened in silence — during a forest walk, over a slow meal, or simply watching the light change.
Classical, grounding practice. The foundation of everything she teaches and designs.
Movement as breath made visible. Dynamic, breath-led sequences that build heat and presence.
Multi-week programs at the Sahakar Nagar studio, shaping the next generation of teachers.
The art of designing days that feel spacious — sequencing rest, movement, food, and silence with care.
Padmashree founded and runs Pragalbha Yoga, her studio in Sahakar Nagar, Bengaluru. Her complete founder profile — including her featured press, film work, and social channels — lives there.
