Channelling Pitta's precision

Meru is the sacred central mountain — and in the body, the spine, the axis around which everything is organised. The Pitta type's gift is precision, focus and discipline; the danger is that these tip into overheating, over-effort and self-criticism. Meru Yoga gives Pitta's sharpness a constructive channel.
This is a focused, intelligent practice built around spinal health and refined alignment — detailed enough to satisfy the Pitta mind's love of precision, but sequenced to avoid the competitive overheating that aggravates the dosha. It is discipline without burnout.
What happens in the class
The class works systematically through the spine — forward folds, gentle backbends, twists and lateral movements — with careful attention to alignment and controlled, refined transitions. Pranayama is woven throughout to keep the practice cool and focused rather than heating. The intensity is moderate and precise rather than driving, and the class rewards attention rather than force, closing with a calming, cooling rest.
