Yoga for Weight Loss in the USA
A yoga habit you keep long enough for it to matter
Most weight-loss plans fail at the same point: week four, when motivation has worn off and the routine has not yet become a habit. This class is built around that problem. Dynamic Surya Namaskar rounds and strength-building flows make it a genuinely active session, and a fixed live batch with a mentor who notices when you are missing is what keeps you practising month after month.

A yoga habit you keep long enough for it to matter
Crash workouts and “lose 5 kilos in 10 days” yoga videos promise fast numbers and leave sore knees and broken streaks. Yoga does not melt weight away, and we will not pretend it does. What it can do is give you regular movement you enjoy, more strength, and calmer habits around stress, sleep and eating, all alongside sensible food and your doctor’s advice.
The USA is our largest community outside India, and it is spread across four time zones, which shapes everything about how we schedule. Most families who write to us are second-generation parents whose own Sanskrit came from a grandparent, and who have realised their children have no equivalent person to learn it from.
A fixed live batch that turns occasional workouts into a routine
Joint-friendly options for heavier bodies and complete beginners
Breath and relaxation for stress, which often drives eating habits
Honest advice: yoga supports weight management; it is not a crash diet
Batch timings for the USA
Live classes on PST/EST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend mornings Eastern and Pacific are the two slots that fill first, because they land in the Indian evening and work for both coasts. Weekday batches run at 6:30 to 8:00 PM local on the East Coast. We do not ask a child in California to attend at 5 AM, and if the only slot we can offer you is a bad one we will say so.
Families join us from the Bay Area, New Jersey, Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta and Chicago in the largest numbers. Several batches have ended up entirely North American, which children like, they are learning alongside others in exactly the same position.
What you walk away able to do
Several rounds of Surya Namaskar done with good form
Noticeably more stamina and strength across a session
A regular weekly movement habit that lasts beyond a month

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For yoga for weight loss that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for PST/EST, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
