Our Approach · Setu Yoga Studio™

Personalized Yoga.
Practiced Your Way.

Every practice at Setu is shaped around you — your goals, your current ability, your body, your life. Not one fixed sequence everyone follows, but a practice that adapts to you.


What It Means

Personalized, Not Generic

A generic yoga class asks everyone to follow the same sequence, at the same pace, regardless of who they are. A personalized asana practice starts from the opposite direction: your goals, your current ability, and your body come first, and the practice is built around them — whether you're in a small group class, an individual session, at home, or online.

This individualized approach builds on Setu's background in traditional and therapeutic yoga practice — you can read more about that history on our Yoga Therapy page.

How It Works

Assessment First, Practice Second

Before building your practice, we start by understanding you. What you bring to that conversation shapes everything that follows:

Your goals — what you actually want from your practice, whether that's flexibility, strength, calm, or general wellbeing.
Your current ability & experience — complete beginner or experienced practitioner, the starting point is always where you actually are.
Mobility, strength & flexibility — postures and sequences are adapted to your body as it is today, not a textbook ideal.
Lifestyle & wellness priorities — how much time you have, your schedule, and what you're managing day-to-day.
Individual concerns, where relevant — general goals like back or neck comfort, stress, or hormonal wellness can shape the practice, alongside your other priorities.

Frequently Asked

Personalized Practice — Common Questions

What does "personalized yoga" mean at Setu Yoga Studio?
It means your practice is shaped around you — your goals, current ability, experience, mobility, strength, flexibility, and lifestyle — rather than everyone following the same fixed sequence. This applies across every format we offer: group classes, individual sessions, at-home visits, and online sessions.
Is personalized yoga the same as Yoga Therapy?
They're related but not identical. Personalized Asana Practice is our current approach to teaching — individualized, goal- and ability-based, taught by Suresh across all our active programs. Yoga Therapy is a broader traditional concept with its own history at Setu; read more on our Yoga Therapy page.
Who teaches the personalized practice at Setu?
Suresh Bantupalli, Setu Yoga Studio's current Senior Yoga Instructor & Studio Manager, teaches across our group classes, individual sessions, at-home visits, and Yoga Teacher Training programs. Read more about his background on our Our Teacher page.
Is personalized yoga suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Personalization means the practice adapts to your current ability, whatever that is — from a complete beginner to an experienced practitioner. There is no assumed fitness level or flexibility requirement to start.
