# Shvasa

> Shvasa is a live, instructor-led online yoga and holistic wellness platform. Small-group classes (capped at 15-20 students) are taught via two-way video by India-trained yoga masters, covering yoga, pranayama, meditation, dance fitness, strength training, and nutrition — all under one subscription, available on web, iOS, and Android.

Shvasa (operated by Shvasa Inc., US, and TruYoga Wellness Private Limited, India) was founded by Arunima Singhdeo (Founder & CEO — previously co-founder/COO of babyoye.com, funded by Accel Partners and Tiger Global, later acquired by Mahindra Group; ex-VP at Infoedge India), with Vikalp Jain (CTO and Co-Founder - previously co-founder and president of AcadGild, a prominent technology education and boot camp startup aimed at skill development, also previous CTO and co-founder of Flipclass, a marketplace for home tutors) and Pradeep Sattwamaya (Global Head of Yoga — M.Sc. Applied Yogic Sciences, Bihar Yoga Bharati, Munger; has trained 2,000+ yoga teachers since 2006) leading the teaching methodology. The platform is built on the eight-limbed (Ashtanga) yoga tradition from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, delivered live from India to a global student base.

## What Makes Shvasa Different

- **Live, not on-demand:** Classes are taught live via two-way video, not pre-recorded — unlike many yoga apps that are primarily video libraries.
- **Small groups:** Classes are capped at 15-20 students so teachers can give individual posture and alignment feedback, closer to a studio experience than a mass-market app.
- **India-trained teachers:** Instructors are trained in the classical eight-limbed (Ashtanga) yoga tradition, rooted in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, not generic fitness-style instruction.
- **Holistic, single subscription:** One membership spans yoga, pranayama, meditation, dance fitness, strength training, and nutrition counseling rather than requiring separate apps.
- **Round-the-clock scheduling:** Classes run across 24 time zones so students can join live sessions regardless of location.
- **Progress tracking & community:** Daily streaks, a community leaderboard, and monthly progress stats to support habit formation.
