Padmashree C Jain
Her story
Teaching the body
to trust itself.

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.

Her philosophy

What she keeps coming back to.

01

The body knows first

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.

02

Space is a teaching

She designs retreats with long, open afternoons on purpose. Unscheduled time isn't empty — it's the container where integration actually happens.

03

Quiet is the curriculum

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.

Her practice

What she teaches.

Hatha Yoga

Classical, grounding practice. The foundation of everything she teaches and designs.

Vinyasa Flow

Movement as breath made visible. Dynamic, breath-led sequences that build heat and presence.

Yoga Teacher Training

Multi-week programs at the Sahakar Nagar studio, shaping the next generation of teachers.

Retreat Curation

The art of designing days that feel spacious — sequencing rest, movement, food, and silence with care.
