Your Trusted Hatha Yoga Studio in Colchester & Tendring
Parashakti Yoga was founded in 2015 by Srina Patel, a Yoga Alliance registered instructor based in Colchester and Tendring. Our studio delivers traditional Hatha Yoga classes rooted in the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta tradition, with a focus on breathing techniques (pranayama), the 12 basic physical postures (asanas), and proper relaxation. Srina completed her teacher training in London under the Sivananda lineage, which traces back to Swami Sivananda, a revered 20th-century spiritual master. We emphasize yoga as a holistic practice for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, moving beyond mere exercise to foster inner balance and energy. Our classes cater to all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, with options for private and group sessions.We aim to make yoga accessible to the local community, offering a free trial class for newcomers. Srinas personal journey with yoga began in 2010, driven by its transformative effects on her sleep, focus, and overall health. We believe yoga is a comprehensive way of living, integrating body, mind, and spirit while harmonizing with ones surroundings. Our mission is to guide students toward discovering yogas benefits, whether for fitness, stress relief, or spiritual connection. We operate with a commitment to authenticity, drawing from ancient teachings while addressing modern lifestyles.
