Yogabliss: Hatha Yoga with Live Esraj by Kirpal Panesar

Presented as part of Darbar Festival 2026, Yogabliss: Hatha Yoga with Live Esraj offers a unique opportunity to explore the connection between movement, breath, and sound. Led by experienced yoga teacher Kanwal Ahluwalia, this guided session combines traditional Hatha yoga practices with the soothing live accompaniment of Kirpal Panesar on the esraj, creating a deeply immersive wellness experience.

Designed for participants of all experience levels, the class focuses on mindful movement, breath awareness, flexibility, and stability through a series of carefully structured postures and gentle flows. The live esraj performance adds a meditative dimension to the practice, allowing participants to experience the calming influence of Indian classical sound while developing greater physical and mental awareness.

Drawing inspiration from both yogic philosophy and contemporary well-being practices, the session encourages participants to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate a sense of balance and presence. Whether new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, attendees can expect a welcoming environment that promotes relaxation, focus, and overall well-being.
