About Yoga Sattva

A journey of self-transformation through Classical Hatha Yoga

Namaskaram!

Namaskaram! I'm Deepak Shakya — a certified Hatha Yoga teacher from Sadhguru Gurukulam (previously known as the Isha School of Hatha Yoga) at Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, India.

At YogaSattva, I offer Classical Hatha Yoga classes, private sessions, and guided practice corrections in Central London and online. Whether you're looking to start your yoga journey, deepen your existing practice, or find tools for physical and mental wellbeing, you're welcome here.

Self-Discovery: From Corporate Life to Yogic Path

My yoga journey began in 2011 with Inner Engineering, as I searched for mental clarity and emotional balance. What began as curiosity soon deepened into a committed exploration of yogic science. Over time, practices like Shambhavi Maha Mudra, Surya Kriya, and Angamardana brought strength, focus, and a lasting sense of inner stillness.

Before becoming a full-time yoga teacher, I spent over 15 years in the corporate and start-up world — working with FTSE 100 companies like Cisco and Juniper, and co-founding several impact-driven ventures in the UK and India. These experiences showed me the pace and pressure many live with — and the limits of outer success without inner wellbeing.

In December 2022, I completed a 1,750+ hour residential Hatha Yoga Teacher’s Training at the Isha Yoga Centre. This immersive experience not only deepened my own practice, but gave me the tools to share Classical Hatha Yoga in its most authentic form.

“We teach Hatha Yoga as a transformative process. The transformation will not only be on the level of your body but in the way you are.”
— Sadhguru

The word Yoga means Union; Sattva means Pure. Yoga Sattva was born from the intention of offering classical Hatha Yoga in its pristine form derived from ancient yogic science. This is not about achieving just flexibility or fitness alone — it’s about discovering a sense of balance, clarity, and strength that extends into your everyday life.

I offer:

  • Group Classes (in Central London)

  • Private Sessions (in person or online)

  • Guided Practice Correction Sessions

  • Corporate and Community Workshops

  • Health and wellbeing modules for specific ailment or recovery

All practices are taught with precision and care, based on ancient yogic principles, and open to people of all backgrounds and experience levels.

I offer Classical Hatha Yoga in its purest form, as taught by Sadhguru and rooted in the ancient yogic sciences. Each class is held in a committed and focused atmosphere, with an emphasis on precision, discipline, and inner experience — not just physical movement. Every session is designed to support your journey towards inner wellbeing.
