Yoga that knows your nature
Classical Ayurveda has known this for 5,000 years. Your Prakriti — your unique constitutional nature — determines what practice will genuinely transform you. At Lifestyle Yoga World, we prescribe. We don’t just teach.
Take our 12-question Ayurvedic assessment — built around your body, mind, digestion, sleep and emotional nature. In 3 minutes, you receive your primary dosha and a personalised practice profile.
Your dosha result maps directly to specific yoga forms, pranayama techniques, seasonal practices and dietary guidance. Your result page shows exactly which of our 33 classes are designed for your constitution.
Every class at Lifestyle Yoga World carries a dosha tag. Your timetable is no longer a menu — it is a prescription. Book the classes that balance what is out of balance in you.
Grounding, warming and deeply nourishing. For those who are creative and quick-thinking but prone to anxiety, restlessness and scattered energy.
Cooling, softening and teaching the art of surrender. For those who are sharp, driven and accomplished but prone to inflammation, perfectionism and burnout.
Energising, heat-generating and igniting. For those who are steady, loving and enduring but prone to lethargy, congestion and emotional heaviness.
Sumit Manav’s journey began in the Himalayas, where he trained under masters who carried an unbroken line of classical yoga and Ayurvedic wisdom. Over 25 years, across 40 countries, he has brought this lineage to over 10,000 students — from mountain ashrams to the corporate boardrooms of Dubai’s most respected organisations.
At Lifestyle Yoga World, Sumit’s teaching is rooted in the same classical texts — the Charaka Samhita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras — that have guided practitioners for millennia. The Ayurvedic prescription system is not a marketing concept. It is how yoga was always meant to be taught.
“I’ve practiced yoga for eight years across three continents. Lifestyle Yoga World is the first studio that has ever asked what my body actually needs, rather than giving everyone the same class.”
“As a senior executive, I’ve tried everything for burnout. The Chandra Yin classes have genuinely changed how I manage stress and my team.”
“I came because I was told I needed to exercise more. The Agni Shakti class every morning has transformed my energy completely.”
