Hello Friends,
Well, you have let go of those New Year resolutions to reduce weight, you have forgotten that you have that hot pink blouse that still does not fit you, you just remembered that you have that big party coming up and want to look swell as ever. Familiar with this? Or even if it is none of this but you just want to feel fit and feel good and are looking for a decent place to start or restart your exercise regimen then read on: 136.1 Yoga Studio has opened a new branch off GNChetty Road, in T.Nagar.
I walked into this place recently to check it out so that I can give all of you my honest feedback. A dainty little green Tulsi plant and a beautiful flower arrangement at the main entrance and a meditating Buddha inside in the foyer welcome me. And I am met by a very warm and friendly Nithyashri (136.1 representative) who is happy to show me around the yoga studio and explains with gusto about their different programs.
Guess the USP of the 136.1 Yoga Studio is:
- Offering yoga sessions in a tastefully done swanky, state-of-the-art studio.
- Flexibility of choosing from a variety of yoga schools: including Hatha, Iyengar, Sivananda, Satyanada Yoga and Power Yoga.
- International and Indian teachers who have the capability of customizing classes according to one’s health needs.
Programs:
- Yoga for general fitness
- Yoga for weight loss
- Yoga for general wellness
There offer personalized yoga sessions for:
- Sleep disorders
- Hypertension, Blood Pressure & Thyroid
- Women’s wellness
- Pre and post natal
- Stress management
136.1 Yoga Studio Chennai has branches in Alwarpet, Kilpauk, Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR). They are also present in Whitfield, Bengaluru and have plans to open branches in Dubai and Kathmandu.
The 136.1 Yoga Studio T.Nagar branch is situated in a quiet residential locale in T.Nagar and is tucked away in an interior curvaceous road, so make sure you don’t miss the turns you need to take, to get there.

PS: Pictures shot during the interview session.
BT Discovery: Incidentally the name 136.1 Hz is the decibel frequency of ‘Om’ as told by the 136.1 team in an interview given to The Hindu. As I had always wondered what it really meant.
BT Bottom Line: My visit to the 136.1 Yoga Studio T.Nagar branch was only to understand how they operate, but I have not undertaken any classes with them.
Cheers
Bhuvana Rajaram
