The founder

Who is Sailaja Anand?

Sailaja Anand is the founder of Anand Yoga Centre in Kolathur, north Chennai, and a certified, trained yoga instructor. She built a women-first studio where she leads every class herself, in small batches (a maximum of 14 students, and only 10 per aerial class), so each person gets real, personal attention rather than a place in a crowded room.

Certified and trained

Sailaja holds a BBA and an MSc in Yoga (Human Excellence) from SRM University, and is a certified, trained yoga instructor. The practice you learn here is grounded and taught with care, not improvised.

She leads every class

No rotating cast of teachers. The founder herself guides each session, so the standard and the warmth stay the same every time.

Women-first by design

The studio is built to be a comfortable, supportive space for women in north Chennai to practise and progress at their own pace. Read more on yoga for women.

Why small batches

Why classes stay small

The cap is deliberate. A maximum of 14 students per class, and only 10 in an aerial class, is what makes personal teaching possible.

Personal attention

With a handful of people, Sailaja can actually see you: your alignment, your breath, the pose you are quietly struggling with.

Hands-on correction

Small numbers mean she can adjust and guide each student, so you learn the pose correctly instead of copying it across the room.

A pace that fits you

The class is set to the people in it, not a fixed script. It is gentler when you need it, deeper when you are ready.

A calmer room

Fewer people means a quieter, more focused space, closer to the calm the practice is meant to create.

What to expect

What you can expect

From the moment you start practising at Anand Yoga Centre, here is what stays true.

One teacher who knows you

Because Sailaja teaches every class, she gets to know your body and your goals, and your practice builds from there.

Small, unhurried classes

Capped numbers mean no jostling for space and no being lost at the back. Just room to breathe and learn.

A supportive space

A women-first studio designed to feel welcoming on your first class and on your hundredth.

Mat and aerial yoga

Alongside mat-based classes, this is the only studio offering aerial (hammock) yoga in north Chennai.

“Balanced Body. Calm Mind. Joyful Life.”

The brand essence behind Anand Yoga Centre, and the simple promise of every class Sailaja teaches: live a healthy life.
