IN a city like Delhi, where clean air is a luxury and outdoor yoga feels like a dare, the Life Yoga Centre emerges as a sanctuary for the soul.
-
Nestled in the heart of Chanakyapuri, the capital's bustling diplomatic enclave, this meditative retreat seamlessly blends ancient wisdom with modern design, offering a refuge from the chaos of urban life. Designed by Studio Lotus, the centre, which opened in 2023, spans three levels, each thoughtfully crafted to guide visitors deeper into mindfulness.
At the helm is Dr Varun Veer. "Yoga has been my family tradition," he says. "My father, an Ayurveda acharya, introduced me to yoga at the age of nine." With a PhD in yoga and decades of global teaching experience, Dr Varun returned to India from Hong Kong with a mission: to create the world's best yoga centre, rooted in wisdom yet tailored to modern lifestyles. In a world filled with uncertainty, yoga offers a structured path a beginning, a plan, and an end.
To decompress & discover
The moment you step into Life Yoga, you are greeted by a restrained palette of warm neutrals and earthy tones, a deliberate design choice to evoke a sense of calm. The ground floor houses a reception area that flows into a retail zone and 'Eleved,' a restaurant serving Ayurveda-inspired cuisine.
