Sharmilas Yoga Studio

Sharmila's yoga is a fantastic place to do yoga. The studio is large and spacious and everybody is warm and welcoming. Further, I really enjoy the yoga - each session is different and great for improving your yoga. I would definitely recommend Sharmila's yoga to anyone looking to practise yoga.

One of the best yoga studios in Hyderabad. I like the rhythm of the class,it is well structured with detailed instructions. Friendly staff, clean and neat place at an affordable price. Sharmila mam is very helpful if consulted with any concern. I’m personally thankful to her :) Definitely, i would recommend this place SYZ for anyone who loves yoga :)

I have taken her classes for more than a year and the best part of it is, Sharmila and her trainers don't teach yoga, they teach you the science and technicality of it. And that is beautiful! I have thoroughly experienced inner peace practising in her studio. I recommend it to everyone. One thing though, Sharmila- can you please begin online classes? I'm sure many, given we are still battling with the Covid scare, would opt for it.

One of the best yoga classes. Awesome studio. The view of greenery through the large windows makes the experience even better. Teachers are great. They encourage u to listen to your own body when doing asanas and yet push you to do your best. Focus on correct form.

Im grateful to Sharmila for introducing me to yoga many years ago... It has become an integral part of my day and i cannot imagine my day without it. Yoga helped me overcome severe back-pain, vertigo and transformed me to become a better person . Thank you for this Sharmila - Chitra

I've done my 200 hour Teacher Training from Sharmila's Yoga Zone in 2018. It was a great experience! Sharmila is a pioneer in this field, very creative and teaches yoga with science so relevant to todays world. I definitely recommend this studio and Sharmila's guidance to people who are looking to transform their lives and thinking.

Sharmila is thorough professional and nice human being. When she talks about body mind soul . Right diet for the body the right thought for mind the right light for soul. All packaged in yoga zone . This called union of mind body soul I know Sharmila personally her ability and capability to train is inherent quality. Practice what you preach is being demonstrated. Good going keep it up..

I tried about 10 yoga studios in Hyderabad before finding Sharmila's Yoga Zone - and have never been to another studio since! Definitely my favourite yoga studio in Hyderabad. The studio is very well set up, clean and inviting. Sharmila's classes are energising, welcoming and well structured, and you will never find a better/more relaxing yoga nidra anywhere. Highly recommend.

writing this review as part catharsis and part heads-up for practitioners looking to join SYZ's Teaching Course. I used to attend SYZ on and off for a few years between 2010-14 before leaving the city, way before Google reviews were a thing. Great technical skills, the teachers and staff are adept and widely read and practiced. If you are looking for a solid practice, to learn basics in a group setting, don't hesitate as the yoga studio itself is pretty great, clean, centrally located. Do talk to the teachers about personal needs and segue into the practice slowly, and they will be considerate. They are also of the very crucial and helpful view that in case of chronic mental illnesses, movement is much more valuable than meditation/sitting still as the former helps better. Now, for the Teachers' Course, I'd recommend strongly laying boundaries before and during the course. I faced a lot of body shaming/body policing/food shaming by the teacher, and saw someone who had had a bad experience with food poisoning and returning to the course being told that they should be happy they at least lost weight. There were some bigoted, anti-minority statements made in our batch by the teacher, and I'd recommend if you from the persecuted faiths in India, discuss beforehand that you are not okay with being stereotyped (or will there be prejudice, what are the teachers' views, especially in today's world of rising polarisation and injustice), or look elsewhere. I also sensed internalized colonialism/racism as the teacher seemed to be kinder to customers with structural white privilege so she could signal social capital. There was also classism, and pseudoscience diet supremacy and general holier than thouness. Hopefully she has grown past her prejudice and has become more compassionate, but do as a paying customer check and look out for your own mental health. If you're of a larger build and are looking for movement to lead a better life and not as an obsessive weight loss gimmick, speak up (as I did not and i felt very bullied with the constant fatphobic statements), state boundaries that body shaming is not okay/or weight loss/self hate/dieting is not a goal for you. Ensure you make it clear that you would like to be asked before having your poses adjusted/or touched as well, as she wasn't very mindful, or seemed aware that even if you're a woman you can't really touch another woman without consent. I could have used a heads up when I joined SYZ, so I'm passing it on to anyone else who needs it. Have a safe yoga practice!

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother-armin wadia who has been going to sharmila's for the last 16 years-with a few years break in-between. She always compares every other studio with sharmila's and nothing ever measures up to this place!!!! Its got great facilities, superb trainers , very professional yet giving personalised attention and so very caring. The techniques n props used are superb and its a very well balanced class each day. Now that she is a senior citizen, she goes for the senior citizen class and loves going for class every morning. Her instructor raisa(hope i have spelt it right) gives her so much care n attention, addressing each problem individually and just oozes warmth and care. She motivates her students to better thensleves each day. So thank you raisa very much. I myself have been a student there n have loved every minute of it. So thank you sharmila n hiren. You guys make it what it is. So for anyone who wants to take up yoga to make a difference in your lives, this is the place to go!!!!
