Chai & Chat is a FREE opportunity for yoga teachers in Europe, UK, and India to connect with us, and with one another to chat informally about teaching, practice, and to ask any questions you may have or initiate discussion about other topics! We meet monthly with a certain topic in practice or teaching as a jumping-off point and allow the discussion to go wherever it takes us. A great opportunity to stay connected!
Led by Sivananda Online Director, Nirmala, these sessions are intended to benefit new yoga teachers and to help them build confidence their practical, teaching, and business skills—skills ordinarily not covered in the Teachers’ Training Course.
Have a cup of tea ready and a comfortable place to sit. We look forward to connecting with you on Saturdays!

Upcoming sessions:
Saturday, September 12, 12:30 pm IST (UTC +5:30)
UK: 8:00 am (BST) | Europe: 9:00 am (CEST)
Topic: Transformation & Performance in Yoga Teaching
Guest: Veda Aggarwal
Every yoga class is an act of communication, and, in many ways, an act of performance. We’ll explore how our words, voice, movement, and presence shape what students receive, and how consciously (or intuitively) we use these elements.
What transformation are we enabling through our teaching, and how are we ourselves transformed by it?
Come, ready to discuss, with your questions, experiences, and thoughts.
Veda’s work has taken her through feature journalism, marketing, branding and communication, as well as many years in the performing arts. A student of classical guitar, she went on to curate and produce concerts and festivals for the Calcutta Classical Guitar Society, and was a recipient of the ATSA Fellowship for Arts Management. She is also a TTC graduate, yoga teacher, and long-time practitioner.
She now primarily works as a graphic and web designer and lives near Pondicherry with her two dogs.
