Yoga
The practice of Poonam Solanki — yoga teacher, sound healing practitioner and nutritionist.
Sessions are shaped around what your body and your life actually need, rather than a class format everyone is expected to keep up with.
You work with Poonam from first session to last — never a rotating roster.
Yoga, sound healing and nutrition in one practice, not three appointments.
Pre-natal, pain-safe or complete beginner — the sequence fits the person.
In person at the studio, or over video from wherever you are.
Five details, thirty seconds. Your BMI on Indian cut-offs, your daily energy needs, and a healthy weight range for your height — as a report you can keep.
What your body uses in a typical day at your activity level.
The ICMR healthy band for Indian adults.
Healthy weight change in pregnancy depends on your starting point and your trimester. Poonam's pre-natal sessions are built around exactly this — book a consultation and we'll work from where you are.
There is no level you need to reach before beginning. The practice meets you at the point you are at, and moves from there.
After a loss, a change, or a long season of putting yourself last. Beginning again is its own kind of strength.
Start where you are 02Long hours, tight shoulders, and a mind that will not settle. Breath and stillness inside a full week.
Find your balance 03Qualified pre-natal and post-natal practice, through pregnancy and the months that follow.
Practise safely 04Safe, mindful movement at a pace your own body sets. Nothing forced. Nothing rushed.
Move without fearBreath, mantra and mindfulness for a mind that will not settle.
Support through pregnancy and the months that follow.
Safe, mindful movement that never forces range.
Session lengths, formats and pricing to be confirmed.
You don't need to know which practice you want, or be in any particular shape. That's what the first conversation is for.
A short call or visit with Poonam. What you're carrying, what you'd like back, any history she should know about.
Which practices, how often, and where — studio or online. Shaped around your body and your week, not a fixed class.
Regular sessions with the same teacher throughout. The plan is revisited as you change, so it keeps fitting.

After thirteen years building a career in London, I came back to India during the pandemic having lost most of what I thought defined me. Yoga entered my life not as exercise but as a way back — to my body, my breath, and eventually to myself. Shivoham Yog is what I built from there.
I know what it feels like to begin again. That, more than any certificate, is what I bring to every session.

Yes, and most people who come to Poonam are starting or restarting rather than continuing. Sessions are built around what your body can do now, so there is nothing to catch up on and no level you need to reach first.
No. Flexibility is something practice builds, not something it asks for. If touching your toes were a requirement, almost nobody would qualify.
Both. Poonam teaches in person and over video for clients elsewhere, including outside India. Personal training in particular works well remotely, because the session is built around you either way.
It starts with a conversation about what you are dealing with and what you want from the practice. From there Poonam suggests a starting point — group class, one-to-one, or a mix — and adjusts as things change.
Group classes are ₹1,500. Personal training starts at ₹7,000, since sessions are built individually and scheduled around you. Ask on WhatsApp for what applies to your situation.
This is a large part of what Poonam does, and she holds a qualification in yoga for pain management. Tell her what is going on before you begin and the practice is adapted around it. If something needs a doctor rather than a yoga teacher, she will say so.
Yes, with a teacher qualified for it — Poonam is certified in both pre-natal and post-natal yoga. The practice changes trimester by trimester, and afterwards it changes again. Speak to your doctor as well, particularly in the first trimester.
Something you can move and breathe in. A mat if you have one; if not, say so beforehand. Nothing else is needed.
A day or two is usually enough, though mornings fill first. For personal training it is worth messaging earlier, since times are arranged individually.
WhatsApp is quickest and it reaches Poonam directly. Instagram works too, and the contact page has a form if you would rather write.
