Sumit Manav and his team of qualified, experienced teachers come to you — your home, your villa, your garden, anywhere in Dubai — and build a practice around one thing: your Prakriti. No group to keep pace with. No timetable to fit into. Just the practice that was always meant to be yours.
Your session opens with a full Ayurvedic constitutional assessment — pulse reading, physical observation and a structured conversation about digestion, sleep, energy, emotional tendencies and lifestyle.
Sumit teaches a yoga sequence built specifically for your Prakriti — asanas, order, holding time, breath and drishti calibrated to your constitution.
Your personalised pranayama regulates your nervous system and dosha balance, taught with enough depth to practise independently every day.
Specific Ayurvedic dietary guidance for your dosha, including foods that pacify imbalance, meal timing, seasonal adjustments and simple habits.
Morning ritual, sleep protocol, optimal practice time and daily habits mapped into a written plan that belongs to you permanently.

Online
The same depth of practice, the same Prakriti assessment, the same personal attention — delivered live via Zoom. For students based outside Dubai, travelling frequently, or who simply prefer to practice in the privacy and comfort of their own space.
Yoga does not require a studio. Lifestyle yoga online sessions deliver the full Prakriti assessment and personalised practice through a live one-hour video call. The written report, home practice plan, dietary guidance and dinacharya redesign are all the same as in person. What changes is only the geography.
Many of Lifestyle Yoga most committed long-term students began as online clients — people in Singapore, Germany, Canada and across the GCC who found LYW through the dosha quiz and began their practice remotely before ever visiting Dubai.
📱
Everything in 7-day programme plus evolving practice, deeper nutrition protocol, meditation and 6-month home plan.
🎥
Sumit records a short personalised practice video for you after your session — your exact sequence demonstrated, for your home practice reference.
💬
WhatsApp access between sessions — questions about your practice, diet, dinacharya or any adjustment as your practice evolves.
📋
Full written Prakriti report, personalised yoga sequence, pranayama prescription, dietary guidance and dinacharya plan delivered after the first session.

Section two
The same depth of practice, the same Prakriti assessment, the same personal attention — delivered live via Zoom.
Yoga does not require a studio. Sumit’s online sessions deliver the full assessment and personalised practice through a live one-hour video call. Written report, home practice plan, dietary guidance and dinacharya redesign are included.
Section three · The most complete offering
Sumit travels to you — your home, your villa, your chosen location — and lives alongside you for 7 to 30 days. Not a retreat. Not a course. A complete personal Yoga & Ayurvedic lifestyle transformation.
The most personalised wellness experience available
This is not yoga classes scheduled into your existing routine. This is your routine being rebuilt from the ground up — your morning, your meals, your movement, your sleep, your relationship with your own body — guided by 25 years of classical knowledge and delivered with complete personal attention. At the end of your programme, you will have a practice, a daily rhythm and an understanding of your constitution that you carry for life.
Saptah · The week of beginning
The entry point — a complete week that resets your baseline. By day 7 your body has been assessed, your practice established, your food adjusted and your morning routine transformed. The most popular starting point for first-time Residence clients.
Paksha · The fortnight of change
Two weeks is where genuine transformation begins. The body has adapted, the routine has taken root, and Sumit can see how your Prakriti responds and adjust accordingly. The dietary changes become habits. The morning practice becomes non-negotiable. The second week is where the shift happens.
Trimshat · The classical reset
In Ayurveda, 21 days is considered the minimum time required to establish a genuine habit at the level of the nervous system. This programme is built around that truth — three weeks of complete immersion that rebuilds your relationship with your body from scratch. Most popular with clients recovering from serious burnout or significant health transitions.
Masa · The complete month
A full month alongside Sumit. The most complete personal transformation available anywhere in the private yoga world. By the end of 30 days the practice is internalized, the diet is rebuilt, the sleep is deep, the nervous system is regulated, and the understanding of your own Prakriti is something you carry permanently.
Oil pulling, tongue scraping, warm water with lemon and ginger — the Ayurvedic morning purification routine. Taught once, practised for life.
Your dosha-specific breathwork — 20 minutes of Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati or Sitali depending on your Prakriti. This sets the tone for the entire day.
90-minute personalised yoga session with Sumit. Sequence evolves daily as he observes how your body responds. No two sessions are identical.
The Ayurvedic prescription system cannot be assembled from publicly available knowledge. It took 25 years to build. No competitor — no matter how well funded — can replicate it quickly. You are buying a genuine moat.
Group classes, memberships, class packs, private sessions, corporate contracts, workshops and teacher training. The LYW model is not dependent on class attendance — corporate and private revenue provide diversification that a standard yoga studio cannot offer.
Post-pandemic wellness demand is structural and permanent. The premium segment is growing fastest. Ayurveda as a category is mainstream in the GCC, India and Southeast Asia. Classical yoga has credibility that modern wellness trends cannot match. The timing for this franchise is optimal.
Shangrila Dubai. 25 years. Himalayan lineage. BKS Iyengar. National champion. 500 teachers. These are not marketing claims — they are verifiable facts that position LYW above every other yoga brand in the markets where you will compete.
In every LYW target market — Riyadh, London, Singapore, Mumbai — there is a large, underserved corporate wellness market. The Team Prakriti Profiling programme gives you a B2B sales vehicle that your competitors do not have. One corporate contract can cover a month of studio operating costs.
Sumit Manav trains your teachers personally. He attends your launch. He answers your WhatsApp. This is not a faceless franchise operation — it is a direct relationship with the person who built the system. That relationship is itself an asset.
Questions
