Yoga spots and retreats worth trying

If you’re serious about yoga in Delhi or just want a refreshing break, check out the early morning classes at the Delhi Yoga Club in Greater Kailash. It’s less touristy and has a down-to-earth vibe. For a retreat, I recommend looking into programs at Sahaj Yoga near Mehrauli; they focus on simplicity and calm, not complicated poses. Plus, the grounds around there feel worlds away from Delhi’s traffic and noise.

And here’s a local secret: try the rooftop classes in Hauz Khas when the weather’s nice. There’s something about practicing yoga with a view of the old fort walls and the city skyline at dawn that you won’t forget.
