Urban Yoga
The Mood of Yoga is Changing
Urban Yoga is a visual meditation — a portrait series that weaves the ancient practice of yoga into the fabric of modern city life.
Captured in London and Shanghai, these images speak of stillness found in motion, of presence carved out amidst noise. Yoga spills onto pavements, stands tall in alleyways, pauses on platforms and under neon lights. These are not just poses — they are quiet acts of reclamation, breath held against the rush.
In this project, every body becomes a shape of meaning. Every face tells a story of return — to breath, to ground, to self. The city doesn’t vanish. It becomes the backdrop, the contrast, the co-creator.
This is yoga as everyday art.
As resistance.
As belonging.
Because the mood of yoga is changing. It’s no longer confined to polished studios or silent sanctuaries. It’s alive in the streets, in the people, in the moment.
Urban Yoga reminds us:
There’s space for stillness everywhere.
There’s beauty in the ordinary.
There’s power in breath — no matter where you are.










“The physical asana are just the beginning to equip the Sadhaka for higher experience. This Hatha yoga is: cleaning, trimming, preparing the equipment-that is, the gross body-so that finally a gateway to the subtle body may be opened with the tools that have been prepared.”
— Swami Veda Bharati









“Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion.
It is the most valuable inheritance of the present-
it is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow”
— Swami Satyananda saraswati
