Yoga studio · Tapovan, Rishikesh

Breath, movement and a room that slows you down.

A warm, light-filled loft above the Ganga where you can unroll your mat, exhale, and remember what unhurried feels like. Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha and meditation — every day.

  • Small classes, real attention
  • Daily from 6 am

Our practice

Founded on the idea that slower is stronger.

Prana Loft began in 2016 as a rooftop practice for a handful of friends who were tired of yoga that felt like a workout with a deadline. We wanted a room that gave time back — where the teacher watches you, not the clock, and where a beginner and a decade-long practitioner can breathe in the same circle.

Today we're a small studio in Tapovan, five minutes from the Ganga. Wooden floors, tall windows, mountain light. No mirrors, no scoreboards, no rush. Just breath, movement, and a room built to slow you down.

  • 6 amSunrise practice with the valley waking up
  • 14Students, at most, in any class
  • Cups of ginger-tulsi tea after Yin

Morning Vinyasa Flow

A breath-led sequence to wake the spine and warm the whole body. Steady, not frantic — you'll leave clear-headed, not wiped out.

Guided breath and silent sitting by candlelight. A soft place to land in the evening and let the day settle before you head home.

200-hour Teacher Training on the Ganga.

Twice a year we open a small residential training — twenty-two days of asana, philosophy, anatomy and the quiet craft of holding a room. Yoga Alliance aligned, taught by Ishani and our senior faculty, capped at fourteen trainees so no one gets lost.

  • Next intake: Spring cohort, opens for names now
  • Mornings on the mat, afternoons in study, evenings by the river
  • Graduate to teach — or simply to understand your own practice

Your teachers

Guided by people who still practise every day.

A former physiotherapist, Kabir brings an anatomist's eye to long, quiet holds and guided breath. Gentle, precise, unhurried.

Meera Nair

Hatha & Pranayama

Meera makes the foundations feel like home. Her Hatha classes are where most of our beginners fall in love with practice.

In their words

The room speaks for itself. So do they.

"I came for a workout and stayed for the calm. Six months in, my back stopped aching and I sleep like I did as a kid. This little loft changed my week."
Ananya SharmaMember since 2023 · Delhi
"I dropped in on a whim while trekking through Rishikesh and it became the highlight of my trip. Warm teachers, real attention, no ego in the room. Rare."
Thomas BrandtVisiting from Berlin
"The Yin classes undid years of tension I didn't know I was carrying. Kabir's cues are so precise. I leave feeling twice as tall and half as heavy."
Rhea KapoorLocal · practising 2 years
