WHAT IS YOGRITU?
THE YOGRITU DIFFERENCE
EUREKA!
The United Nations agency-UNICEF, Indian Express and YOGRITU have come together to collaborate on fun, online classes for children, ( The Indian Express EUREKA series) which will give them a holistic yet delightful way to imbibe yoga in their lives.
STRETCH YOUR MUSCLESThe first of the series is muscle intense yoga sessions which focus on the inner core and strengthening the muscle tone of the active little ones.
ITāS IN OUR NATUREThe second in the series use asanas inspired by nature that will make the young students, agile, flexible and strong but also help them appreciate the environment, that they live in, and from which they are learning from.
ANIMAL FUNThe third set of yoga classes are based on poses copied from animals that will make the asanas a delight and help the young ones understand that Yoga is an excellent harmony of body, and mind and soul.
THE YOGRITU CLASS
The YOGRITU classes take you from your Prana, to Mudras, to Asanas to a final Chakra awakening. In over an hour, YOGRITU breathes a new life into your physical, mental and spiritual consciousness.
I like to form a connect with each of my students. I meet the person and discuss each and every aspect of their mental and physical health, take their medical history parameters-hereditary issues, digestion, and lifestyle patterns to try to understand their specific ailments be it digestive and respiratory patterns, or hormonal cycles and then work out a tailor-made plan for them.
All the participants in the class starts by chanting āomā, which puts oneās self at one with the cosmos, as it relaxes your body mind, and soul.
This is followed by pranayama -The Yogic breathing technique which allows one to: slow down; take ātime outā, to change conditioned reaction patterns; establish full awareness of oneās own mental state, and work on oneās breath as a bridge between oneās mind and body. Through pranayama, the connect with the mind is so strong, that my students see positive changes not only while doing yoga, but a better connect with themselves in all spheres of their life!
While most other forms of exercise focus on the external forms of activation, how to cure your knee or back pain, yoga works on your inner core focusing on stimulating the respiratory, digestive, circulatory system. The minute , your bodyās core-, stomach, kidney, liver and pancreas are activated, a lot of lifestyle diseases disappear in a trice. Not only does a strong core help you maintain good posture and support your overall health and vitality, there is power in moving from your internal core so, when students say we are feeling energized, that energy is from within.
Next up are our customised Asanas, which are specially formulated to solve your needs as each problem both physical and mental , is as varied as the students who attend my class. And the asana schedule is changed or fine-tuned, every single day, depending on the studentās needs. Plus a weekly review helps in strengthening, curing, and discovering the bodyās strength, flexibility and inner core energy.
We finish the yoga class with some form of meditation which also includes chakras awakening. Our wellbeing on all levels is affected by our chakras (energy centers). Sometimes our chakras also become blocked in our system, impeding our energy flow and energy levels. The chakras work at the subconscious level and by working on your subconscious gradually, weāll awaken these chakras and this will filter into all aspects of your life, and youāll feel energized and renewed from within.
WHAT IS HATHA YOGA?
Yoga help you live in symbiosis
with nature
It is an ancient form of yoga practiced by Hatha yogis, the founders of Hatha Yoga who discovered this novel way to experience the unity with the universe and your consciousness. They found that certain body postures and movements open up our energy channels, along with our psychic centres.
They did not see Hatha Yoga as a form of exercise. They discovered when you work with the body (asanas), you move to the breath (pranas), then to the mind, then to the inner self, (chakras), then the asanas become the tools to take you to the highest level of awareness. An awareness that is beyond mere exercise, that spreads to each part of your life, making for a complete harmony of body, mind and spirit.

Transforming a virtual force to
the spiritual level
Throughout the yoga session my focus is onĀ posture and detailingĀ , so that every student knows how to do the pose in a perfect way. I strongly believe that anyone who sees you doing yoga should be in for a visual treat, and you should be completely aware, mentally present in the moment, and in control of each and every cell within you. There has to be a synchronicity in the way you pose, the stretch of the pose and how long you hold your pose. By controlling our mind and our breath, the true objective of yoga is achieved. Ā Ā In every class, every nerve and muscle from your scalp to toe is worked upon. Since the core is strengthened, the physical body also responds and we are able to perform the most difficult asanas.When we approach our yoga class in this manner, then ourĀ whole being gets involved and every aspect of our identity, personality, and consciousness is exercised too. There is complete ease and harmony in oneās mind and body.

Niralee Shah
Hi Everyone, I am Niralee Shah and I joined Yogritus online classes 2 months back. Since shifting to Singapore in Jan 2020 I have been looking out for such classes since then and Yogritu came as a blessing to me during the lockdown. I have been gyming and walking to keep myself fit but Yoga has instilled an amazing energy and fitness in me. My age old problem of unbearable menstrual cramps has been solved after doing Yoga for just 1 month and I am more than happy about this. Also my legs being proportionately longer than my torso I could never touch my toes. But it happened after a month of doing yoga.. My body seems much more flexible now and I am loving it!!
As Ritu ma’am at Yogritu says YOGA SE HOGA i too have started believing the same now. Yoga has done all to me that I had desired to earlier. The unique part of Ritu ma’am’s sessions are that they feel like personalised ones though it is a group as she individually advises each one of us on how to move forward. Her pranayams and kriyas additionally have helped during these trying times.
She is a must join for everyone who wishes to remain fit. I am hoping for the online classes to continue for people like me who are abroad and working. Thank you is a very small word but nonetheless my loads of gratitude to Ritu ma’am and Yogritu!
Vibhuti Sharma
Hi I am Vibhuti Sharma ,36, mother of two. I joined Yogritu exactly a year back and it was just after few months of joining, that I felt , how I missed doing yoga all these years.Still I feel I am not late. I had few issues, like constipation, hormonal issues and post pregnancy weight gain. And now Yogritu has helped me with these issues-leading to a healthy lifestyle. I have realised that yoga is far beyond curing any ailment, it is much bigger and is for overall mental and spiritual peace of mind. And I am thankful to Ritu mam to have introduced me to this wonderful way of life. The best thing about Ritu Mam is that she focuses individually on each person and tells asanas which are suitable for you. She understands all her students very well and guides them in the best way. I now propagate YogaSeHoga!! to everyone in my family and friend circle and recommend Yogritu to all .
Sumita Shah
Ritu Sethi Malhotra at Yogritu is an amazing trainer. She knows her subject very well and delivers effectively. I m a very careful and selective eater as I have a tendency to put on weight at wrong places. In the lockdown inspite of eating everything possible that I used to avoid earlier, I still did not gain weight but instead gained flexibility and my face and body toned well at the right places. Her sessions are very interesting and the USP being customized asanas according to ones individual need which is absolutely rare in a group.
I m thankful to the lockdown that gave me a chance to do online classes with yogritu as I m in surat …1000 kms from delhi. Had been searching for such classes here since long and my search ended with yogritu. Thanks Ritu!
Kiran
Hello!
I’m kiran
First , I would like to say that I am fortunate to be one of the student at ‘YogRitu’. š§āāļø
A big thank you to Ritu šā£ļøfor being so patient with me. š
I have been attending Ritu’s classes since over a year. I must say, I have experienced a great change in my stamina, posture and overall flexibility. I have become more agile and active, also my jawline has shaped well. šš
What is special about her class is that, she customizes the asanas for each of her student. Also, keeps encouraging each one in the group.A lot of stress is laid on pranayams which strengthens the core.
Also, past two and half months under the lock down, I’m attending Ritu’s virtual classes, which is like a regular class, in fact from the comfort of my home, I’m actually getting the same feel and benefit like the one in the studio, as Ritu pays attention to each and every student.
I have recommended many of my friends who have joined too, and are very happy.
Lots of good wishes to YogRitu. ššKeep up the great work Ritu!
Thanks ā¤
Hi, I am Kiran. Click on the link below to know my experience with Yogritu.
Neeraj
We are based in New York USA and our busy schedules did not permit us to engage in any kind of exercise which made us gain weight with some health issues.
During the lockdown since we had to work from home so our search for an efficient yoga instructor began and we thank our luck that we found Ritu at Yogritu who came as a blessing in our lives.
Me Babita Sethi and My husband Neeraj Sethi started online classes 2 months back for 5 days a week, 1 hour per day.
Ritu has a unique way of doing her sessions. She individually inquires about our problems, if any, and advises asanas to us in the class accordingly. Pranayam which is the need of the hour is done for more than 30 mins to increase our immunity which is extremely helpful.
In 2 months both me and Neeraj are already feeling a significant rise in our energy levels which were very low earlier. My body and face seemed toned and my flexibility and stamina are on an all-time high. For Neeraj his back and knees pain is already 70% better and he hasn’t felt this fit and energetic ever till now. Both of us feel exceedingly positive now and love that feeling. Thanks to Ritu Malhotra at Yogritu for this awesome stage she has got us to.Ā I strongly recommend her to anyone who is concerned about his well being.

āYoga is about transcending the physical.ā
Yoga is a way of life and when practiced gives all-round benefits.
Our busy and chaotic lives can lead to gastrointestinal issues, weakened immune systems, tension, as well as increased anxiety and depression.Ā Pranayama (Breathing Techniques) reduces stress levels and fight against anxiety to boost the immune system. Meditation is a part of yoga, which deals with mental relaxation and concentration. Being aware of breathing automatically controls the thought process and thus relaxes the mind completely.Ā Yoga as exercise includes different asanas, as in standing, stretching, reclining, balancing. Asanas provide both spiritual and physical benefits.Ā Yoga is oriented towards physical and physiological benefits. Yoga brings in positivity and Yogritu Guru in true sense has the spark within her to motivate you and to equip you with happiness, joy, fun, and laughter.
YogRitu Guru has played a major role in transforming my physical self and my mental self. YogRitu Guru has made me realize that this body is not mine to let go but it is my heaven. She has equipped me with a tool to take care of my body as well as my mental wellbeing.Ā Ā Under her guidance, I have been able to perfect my asanas as she keeps a keen eye on your performance. She designs yoga asanas on one to one bases according to the need of your body.Ā Be it stomach related issues, knee pains, stiffness in the back or cervical pain, she has helped me get rid of all of them through the specific asanas Ritu plans. Iām really grateful to Yogritu Guru to have continued the classes even during lockdown through online sessions. Yoga under her has become fun, an addiction. Donāt want to miss it and donāt want to miss meeting her. Iām very happy with Yogritu Guru and wish her good luck and lots of love and happiness. May she always prosper and May her children have happy and healthy lives. šš»
Ankita
I am Ankita, currently based out of Delhi..being an army officers wife we travel a lot..few years back I had taken certain medications that claimed to be homeopathic, however within a months time I gained a lot of weight. To shed the weight I started gyming, I cannot deny that I did not loose weight. But every time we would travel and I would skip the work out I would gain faster.. I needed to look for a better solution, when my mother told me about ‘YOGRITU”. I spoke to aunty,she noted my history and she promised me she would work on my problem,but I would have to continue to do as she says with dedication. She gradually built my pace and worked on my stamina and flexibility.
Ritu Aunty is one of the most naturally gifted person I have ever met. she is an incredible yoga teacher who has the ability to be precise, technical and exacting on one hand, yet warm nurturing and compationate on the other. Her level of detail in understanding yoga posture is exceptional and her creative approch to teaching yoga has no match, she gives personal attention to each and every one. I joined ‘YOGRITU’ on March 24, 2020and have already lost 6 Kg. What is more important is that I find myself more active and flexible. For all those facing health issues (or otherwise) I would recommend you join ‘YOGRITU” classes. Thank you Aunty for your undivided attention and guidance.
Sunita
December 2009, one fine morning I ,Sunita Patro aged 54 years bent to open a drawer in the kitchen, a normal regular activity, and I felt a sudden mild click kind of feeling in my lower back. Next few days were spent in pain in and stiffness, considering it tobe sprain. But it did not subside. Later , a visit to a doctor and an MRI confirmed Disc Prolapse at L3 L4, in simple terms disc slip. It took a strict regimen of rest, medication and physiotherapy to come out of it in 4 months. But it did not go away completely. Life was never the same as pre December 2009. Inspite of taking all the precautions of not lifting weights, squating, not bending forward, this pain and muscle spasm would keep recurring atleast 2-3times in a year. The only way out was physiotherapy followed by low back exercises which for some reason or the other I would forgo.
Life kept moving like this till 2019,August when I met Ritu Malhotra, Founder , Yogritu. After a thorough discussion I joined Yogritu.
To begin with Ritu welcomed me with a huge warm heart. And the asans and pranayams were tailor made for me. Each day, with gentle,tender baby steps I started moving in my new journey of Yoga. Each day being a new learning and a challenge due to my additional issue of chronic migraine. Itās now almost a year that I am with Yogritu and certain changes are phenomenal.
With the customised asans and pranayams on a daily basis, today I am able to squat on the floor, the trauma of muscle spasm and pain in my back reduced by almost 80% , and as an when it has happened it has been taken care of by Yoga. Infact, the extra physical work load in Covid times in the absence of maids has been managed perhaps due to the asans. My migraine attacks have reduced in frequency and intensity for which I sometimes have to take medicines, but far lesser than before.
I am striving towards complete cure, which I am sure will happen. One day I am determined to do Surya namaskar.
THYROID REDUCED from 4.69 in 2.8.2019 to 3.94 in July 2020
WEIGHT REDUCED from 66 kg to 60 kg in 1 year ( although not doing not of weight loss asans as of now)
Thanks to Ritu Malhotra, Founder Yogritu.

“Yoga doesn’t just control what’s going on the outside, but it also controls what’s going on the inside”
I am Manya Puri and I’m 17 years old and I joined yoga five months back.
Within just four to five months, yoga has helped me through every little problem of mine. Whether it is cough or body ache or anxiety or anything for that matter. From a very long time, I’ve had frequent shoulder and back aches, but yoga has helped in every possible way. Now, I’m happy to share that yoga has helped me improve not just my flexibility, but my posture as well. The frequency of my shoulder and back aches have reduced to minimal. I feel more active and look forward to do yoga every evening. Any of this wouldn’t have been possible without Ritu aunty, she’s been my mentor and my go to person this whole time. It’s because of her guidance that I look forward to doing yoga everyday. A super big thanks to Yogritu. I’m grateful for all of her guidanceš¤ā¤
Tejaswani
When Ritu Ma’am says “Yoga Se Hi Hoga” she makes it happen!
When Ritu Ma’am says “Don’t stop dancing, we will heal your back” she makes it happen!
I wanted to get back to dancing after having taken a break for several years, however, my lower back pain was a huge barrier. Ritu Ma’am encouraged me to fearlessly move forward, reassuring me everyday that she’s got my back, literally! In two months here I am prancing away in the desert sand with no hesitation of it’s repercussions. With Yogritu, I feel balanced and physically strong. From flat-feet related weak knees and back, to fighting pcod,Ā I have seen significant improvement in my ability to stay away from their negative effects. Thank you ma’am! I urge you all to continue to invest into practicing Yoga. Be patient and consistent, the benefits are very rewarding. Happy Yoga Day to all of you!
Ashwani
This post is in full gratitude to my teacher Ritu Ma’am. I remember the first call I made to her in Oct last year lamenting about my back ache. Which at the time seemed to overtake my life. All she said in a calming and reassuring way was ‘yoga se hoga’. Initially the asanas seemed so simple and I wasn’t able to understand how come it was workingš . After doing a course on Vipassana meditation I could truly understand how cleverly ma’am puts together the asanas to address specific energy blockages. Also how everything is connected-digestion, back ache mental clarity all addressed through comprehensive asanas. Today I’m strong and more importantly my mind can focus on more important things rather than my achesš So sooo thankful to you ma’am. š Excited to continue this beautiful journey with your guidance.

Geeta
Hello I am Geeta. I live in Ahmedabad I joined āYogrituā in April 2020. I had a chronic issue of spondylitis. There was constant pain in my neck and shoulders. I also suffer from cholesterol and am on medication which causes fatigue and stiffness of muscles. I am in constant battle with the side effects of my medicine.Ā There was not a single day when I was not in pain. But thanks to Ritu for taking care of my ailments. The way she customises the asanas according to my need is commendable. Now I have weeks when I am pain free. She also has to change my plan very frequently which she does with lot of patience. Ever since I started yoga there has been no looking back.I have become addicted to it. My neck and shoulder muscles have become strong. Thank you for making me pain free Ritu.
Jasmeet
Hi! I am Jasmeet. I joined āYogrituā 9 months ago and since then I have seem an amazing change in myself. Due to long working hours, travelling from home to office and continuously sitting in front of laptop, made my neck and shoulder muscles go for a toss. There was continuous pain in my neck and had come to a point where I had started getting vertigos and headaches. With no flexibility in my body and constant pain in my neck and shoulders resulted in no sensation in the surrounding areas which made me feel low as well. It was during lockdown, I came to know about Rituās online yoga classes which came as a blessing in disguise. She told me that she will customize the asanas for me and help me get rid of this pain, but I need to have lot of patience as it will not happen in few days. Ever since I started yoga there has been no looking back. My neck and shoulder muscles have become strong and I am able to do asanas which I could only dream of doing. Thank you for for making me pain free Ritu!
Sangeeta Bawa
Namaskaar to all! I am Sangeeta Bawa and am 50years old. When I joined Yogritu in May 2020, my chronic cervical pain was very severe. Other than that my backache and other pains which have been residing in my body for years were showing up. Due to all this I was disturbed and irritated too. My elder sister who has been with Rituji for almost two years now asked me to join her Yoga classes and then equation started changing for good. I must say that Rituji takes care of each individuals problem and addresses to it effectively. I am super better and feel very energetic now. Lot of my pains have disappeared. Best part of all is that my emotions are controlled. I feel more in control of myself, take better decisions and mindful of my thoughts. Am so thankful to Yogritu for putting in so much of efforts in teaching me Yoga and its core essence. May God bless you always. Thanks
Simal Soin Oberoi
A big thank you to Yogritu for changing my life.I am 53 yrs old and have a deep rooted health karma with a lot of issues. I joined Yogritu 6 months back and happy to report that my illnesses are getting cured with Rituās yoga. My carpal tunnel pain in my hands and wrist is cured. My migraine is completely cured. I also had eye floaters, which are cured with eye exercises. 4 months back, I had an acute gastritis, which is now fine. Now, am half way through to addressing my neuropathy and knees issues. With these issues, sometimes got overwhelmed and wanted to give up. But Rituās persistence and continuing support motivated me to continue doing yog. It worked wonders for me and have no words to show my gratitude. Thank you sooooo much Ritu!! Bless u dear Ritušš„°
Divjot Kaur
I was suffering from PCOS since the last four years. I was on medication for the same and had side effects like very bad pain in legs. I gained almost 8kgs of weight. I started my Yoga journey with Yogritu 21 months ago and now there is no looking back. I am very grateful that I joined yoga and within 2 months I saw the magic. I am fitter and more healthy now. I have lost around 8 kgs of weight within 8 months. I am more flexible and stable now. Yogritu customises Asana and Pranayama according to your issues. My appetite and digestion has improved a lot now and junk food does not tempt me. This has happened only because of Yoga. She takes you out from your comfort zone and when you master the asana that feeling is on another level. Thank you so much Yogritu for making me PCOS free.
Chitra Sunil Chainani
My name is Mrs Chitra Sunil Chainani residing in Dubai, UAE forĀ the past 26 years. Iāve known Ritu Di through a very dear friend in Dubai and Iāve been with her for almost a year now.Ā For me Di was God sent as the pandemic year 2020 broughtĀ along plenty of add-ons to my already existing health issuesĀ such as hormonal imbalance, depression due to many near andĀ dear ones suffering from Covid challenges including deaths inĀ the family, menopause challenges, sciatic pain in the right legĀ due to which the entire right side of my body had become weakĀ and currently Iām suffering from severe static in the palms. Amidst all these health issues Iām grateful to Di for supportingĀ me through and through when I was forces to take a break sheĀ would regularly stay in touch to receive an update on my well- being by just chatting or sending mudras to provide me theĀ energy to deal with the situation that kept me going. I must share that though Di was long distance, the care andĀ comfort gave me so much energy which helped me face all the challenges with a peaceful approach step by step each day. The Pranayams she had taught in class are so magical that eachĀ pranayama gave me mental peace to think clearly and the smile after every session with Di give me energy to get through my daily routine. The challenges of not being able to sit cross legged, weight lossĀ which I was struggling with for over 2 years plus magically began in just about a year of joining class whereby now via inch loss I feel a lot lighter and my right leg which used to be weak isĀ now on the road to recovery with Diās planned asanas each day.Ā As a person Di is very compassionate kind considerate selflessĀ and a loving person always ready to listen and motivate. HerĀ magic mantra āYOGA SAI HAUGAā is buried in m head and IāmĀ sure she will excel in curing many selflessly and shall always be showered with blessings unconditionally. I strongly recommendĀ all to join her classes and help your spirits get lifted by maintaining good health.Ā Di thank you for being a part of my life when my life was in a turmoil and helping me to stand on my feet Iām ever so gratefulĀ to you may God always be with you and look after you andĀ keep you blessed.
