Sailaja Anand
Founder · Anand Yoga Centre
Sailaja Anand teaches yoga the way it was taught to her, as a daily, personal practice that meets you where you are. Years of training have shaped her teaching for the people of Kolathur and Chennai: working mothers, retirees, growing children, and aspiring practitioners alike.
She founded Anand Yoga Centre to bring back something larger studios lose at scale, the founder-led class, capped at 14 students, where every breath is observed and every alignment corrected by name.
The studio practices Hatha, Vinyasa, prenatal yoga, kids yoga, and is the only studio in Kolathur + Villivakkam offering Aerial Yoga. The medium of instruction is Tamil, with English available on request.

Why a small studio matters
Four reasons AYC is built differently from the big-chain yoga apps.
Tamil-medium
Mantra in Sanskrit. Instruction in Tamil. English available on request.
Founder-led, every class
Every session with Sailaja. No rotating instructors. No franchise model.
Market-first aerial
The only studio in Kolathur and Villivakkam with aerial hammocks. ₹3,000/mo for 8 classes.
What we teach
Three pillars of the AYC practice, each led personally by Sailaja Anand.
Hatha Yoga
Foundational practice. Slow, intentional postures with steady breath. Right for any starting point.

Aerial Yoga
Suspended in handcrafted fabric hammocks, aerial yoga blends strength, decompression, and the rare delight of practising upside-down. There is no other studio in Kolathur or Villivakkam offering this practice, at AYC it sits at the heart of what makes our cohort distinctive.
- 4 hammocks
- 4 students per class
- ₹3,000/mo · 8 classes
The smaller the cohort, the deeper the practice. We are not building a studio for the next 1,000 students. We are building one for the next 100.
