Why Online with Us
The Tradition, Not Just the Postures
Most yoga available internationally has been filtered through fitness culture — separated from its therapeutic roots, its breathwork, and its classical structure. What many students practise today is the physical layer of a much deeper system.
Setu Yoga Studio is rooted in the classical Indian tradition. Our Yogacharya, Arroju Sreenivasulu, has 32 years of practice and teaching experience, holds YCB (Yoga Certification Board of India) certification, and integrates naturopathy and acupuncture into therapeutic guidance. His approach treats the whole person — not just the symptom, and not just the posture.
Online one-on-one sessions make this depth of guidance accessible to students in the USA, UK, Australia, UAE, Singapore, and anywhere else in the world. The personal format means you receive more focused attention than in any group class — your session is built around you, not a syllabus.
“Yoga is not exercise. It is a conversation between the breath, the body, and the intelligence within. The posture is just the entry point. What happens in the breath — that is where the practice begins.”
— Yogacharya Arroju Sreenivasulu, Setu Yoga Studio™

A brief Zoom or WhatsApp call to understand your health background, current condition, and what you hope to achieve. No commitment required — this is so we can design your sessions properly.

What We Focus On
Six Disciplines — Accessible Online
Pranayama
Classical breathwork — Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Bhramari, Anulom Vilom — adapted to your condition. The most transformative discipline for stress, BP, sleep, and nervous system health. Works exceptionally well online.
Dhyana
Meditation in the classical tradition — not mindfulness apps, but structured dhyana practice. Particularly beneficial for anxiety, insomnia, and mental clarity. No prior experience needed.
Asana
Therapeutic posture work adapted to your space and ability. For back pain, flexibility, posture correction, and condition-specific mobility. Real-time guidance ensures correct alignment even online.
Yoga Nidra
Guided deep relaxation — one of the most effective tools for sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, and nervous system reset. Ideal online because you practise lying down in your own space.
Shatkarma
Classical cleansing practices (Jala Neti, Trataka, supervised Kapalabhati) taught with the correct technique and contraindication awareness. Appropriate practices selected for your condition.
Yoga Philosophy
Understanding the system you are practising deepens its effects. We integrate classical philosophy — Patanjali’s Ashtanga, Pancha Kosha — into sessions for those who want to understand the why behind each practice.

What Our Students Say
From Students Around the World
“I’ve tried several online yoga apps and group classes. Nothing came close to these one-on-one sessions. The pranayama guidance alone resolved sleep issues I’d had for three years.”
Meena S.
London, UK · Stress & sleep
“As an NRI, I always wanted to learn yoga from an authentic Indian teacher. The depth of knowledge and the personalisation is something I couldn’t find locally. It feels like learning the real thing.”
Suresh K.
New Jersey, USA · General wellbeing
“I started online sessions for lower back pain and have continued for eight months. The results have been better than physiotherapy I tried for two years. My posture, my sleep, my energy — everything improved.”
Hema R.
Dubai, UAE · Back pain
“Third trimester online prenatal sessions were a lifeline. I couldn’t travel easily and having a live, personalised session at home made the last two months so much calmer.”
Lavanya P.
Singapore · Prenatal yoga
Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How does online yoga work with Setu Yoga Studio?
Sessions are one-on-one via Zoom or Google Meet. After you contact us on WhatsApp, we schedule a free 15-minute conversation to understand your health background, goals, and availability. Your first paid session is then arranged at a time that suits your time zone. Everything is personalised — this is not a recorded class or a group call.
What conditions can be addressed in online yoga sessions?
Most of the conditions we address in our Hyderabad studio can be worked with online: back and neck pain, stress and anxiety, PCOD/PCOS, diabetes management support, thyroid function support, high blood pressure, prenatal and postnatal yoga, weight management, and general therapeutic yoga. The approach is adapted to your situation.
Do I need any equipment for online yoga?
A yoga mat, comfortable clothing, and a quiet space with enough room to extend your arms and legs. A stable internet connection and a device with a camera (laptop, tablet, or phone). No special props are required to start — we work with what you have and suggest additions only if genuinely useful.
What time zones do you accommodate?
We accommodate all time zones for scheduled one-on-one sessions. We are based in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and schedule sessions in early morning and evening hours to overlap with USA, UK, Australia, Middle East, and Southeast Asian time zones. Contact us with your time zone and preferred slot.
Is an online session as effective as in-person?
For therapeutic yoga — particularly pranayama, meditation, and condition-specific practice — online sessions are highly effective. The personalised, one-on-one format means you receive more focused guidance than in a studio group class. For asana-intensive practice, in-person is generally better for alignment feedback, but for most therapeutic goals the online format works very well.
