Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Yognikshala and how is it different from generic workout apps?

Yognikshala is a specialized yoga academy founded by Nikita Sendhav, rooted in authentic Indian yoga traditions. Unlike automated workout trackers or pre-recorded app playlists, Yognikshala offers live interactive sessions with real-time posture correction, breathing awareness (Pranayama), guided meditation, and direct doubt clearing with our senior Yogacharyas.

Q: I am a complete beginner and not flexible. Can I still join?

Absolutely yes! Flexibility is the outcome of consistent yoga, not a prerequisite. Our instructors provide step-by-step props, brick and belt modifications, and gentler variations for every asana. Over 60% of our new students begin as complete beginners.

Q: What are the daily live batch timings in Indian Standard Time (IST)?

We conduct multiple daily live batches every weekday (Monday through Friday) in IST (+05:30): • Early Morning: 06:00 AM – 07:00 AM IST (Sun Salutations & Dynamic Flow) • Morning Core: 07:30 AM – 08:30 AM IST (Asana Alignment & Flexibility) • Mid-Morning: 09:00 AM – 10:00 AM IST (Gentle Flow & Therapeutic Postures) • Evening Refresh: 05:30 PM – 06:30 PM IST (Stress Relief & Strength) • Night Meditation & Pranayama: 07:00 PM – 08:00 PM IST (Deep Relaxation & Yoga Nidra)

Q: What happens if I miss a live class? Can I watch recordings?

Yes. Every live session recording is uploaded within 2 hours to your student portal under "Recorded Courses & Archives". You can watch the full HD video, adjust playback speed, and repeat the session anytime at your own convenience.

Q: Can I switch between morning and evening batches if my work schedule changes?

Yes, your Yognikshala membership offers batch flexibility. You can switch your preferred batch from your student portal or send a quick message in the portal support desk without paying any extra transfer fee.

Q: How do I access recorded courses and masterclasses?

Once enrolled, simply log in to your Student Portal (or visit the "Recorded Courses" page) and select your enrolled course. You get instant access to structured multi-day curriculum, video lessons, downloadable reference PDFs, and guided breath-sync practice tracks.

Q: How long is the access validity for recorded courses?

Recorded masterclasses include lifetime or long-term extended access (typically 1 to 2 years based on package selected), allowing you to revisit key asana masteries, pranayama sequences, and detox cleanses whenever you want.

Q: I have lower back pain / cervical issues. Which postures should I avoid?

Always inform your instructor before or during the session. For lumbar issues, avoid extreme unsupported forward folds or deep twists on a cold spine. Our instructors will provide restorative alternatives such as Bhujangasana variations, Setu Bandhasana with bolster support, and gentle Cat-Cow flows to strengthen core stabilizers.

Q: Can pregnant women or individuals with chronic blood pressure join regular batches?

We offer dedicated Prenatal Yoga modules and specialized therapeutic guidance. For high BP or pregnancy, inversions (like Sirsasana) and rapid Kapalbhati pranayama are strictly contraindicated. Please consult our faculty through the support desk for a customized safe routine.

Q: What payment methods are accepted and are taxes included?

We accept all major Indian and international payment methods: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), Credit & Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, RuPay), Net Banking across 50+ banks, and International Cards. All fee structures clearly display inclusive GST details.
