The Body Knows: Structure, Sensation & Stillness

Prashant Tewatia has been a pillar of the Ashiyana teaching team for over 15 years. Known for his clear eyes, calming voice, and vintage glasses, he’s one of those rare teachers who can break down the architecture of a pose while still reminding you to breathe, feel, and be.

Originally from Haryana, Prashant’s journey began in childhood, watching his grandfather hold long headstands and quietly perform morning kriyas—early imprints that shaped his lifelong connection to yoga. After studying in Ireland, he returned to India to train intensively in classical yoga, studying with senior Iyengar teachers across the country and completing a yoga therapy certification in Pune.

His teaching is rooted in alignment, but never rigid. Influenced by somatics, fascial release, Tai Chi, and barefoot movement, his sessions are crafted to help students rediscover their body’s intelligence—balancing structure with softness, effort with ease.

At Ashiyana, Prashant leads retreats, drop-in classes, and teacher training with a rare blend of technical depth, embodied wisdom, and lightness of spirit. Students often say his classes feel both grounding and expansive—like returning to something they didn’t know they’d lost.

When he’s not teaching, you’ll find him walking barefoot on the beach, sipping strong black coffee, or quietly observing the world—always learning, always refining, always curious.
