The Quiz-to-Class Connection
No other online yoga platform starts with your Ayurvedic constitutional type. Prakriti Live is built around this single insight — the right class is not the most popular class. It is the class that was prescribed for your body.
From the moment you complete the quiz, the platform guides you — no browsing, no guessing, no generic recommendations.
Vata, Pitta, Kapha or dual-dosha — scored from 18 questions across 8 classical domains. Instant result with confidence bars.
The live schedule and on-demand library show your dosha’s classes first. You see exactly what was prescribed — not what is trending.
Dubai’s summer significantly elevates Pitta. We remind all members to retake the quiz every 3 months and adjust their class selection accordingly.
24 hours after your first class, a personal WhatsApp message from Sumit’s number. How did it feel? What to try next. No algorithm — a teacher.

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.

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.”
We offer Team Prakriti Profiling — a corporate wellness programme that assesses the dominant dosha tendencies across your team and designs sessions that genuinely address what is out of balance.
45-minute breath activation sessions — Kapha energisation for Monday mornings, Pitta cooling for post-peak decompression.
No — but we strongly recommend taking the free 18-question Prakriti quiz first. It takes 3 minutes and tells us which classes to show you first. Without it, you are choosing classes like everyone else. With it, the platform is personalised to your constitutional type from day one.
All live sessions run via Zoom. When you register for a class, you receive the Zoom link by WhatsApp and email 24 hours before the session and again 15 minutes before it starts. No special software is needed beyond the free Zoom app.
Members on the Prakriti Live plan can access the recording for 7 days after the live session. Annual members have lifetime recording access. On-demand recordings are always available in the library and can be practised at any time.
Absolutely. Prakriti Live is designed for a global audience. We have members in the UK, India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia. All times are shown in Gulf Standard Time (GST / UTC+4) and the early morning sessions (6:00–9:30 AM GST) work well for India, East Africa and South Asia.
A yoga mat and enough floor space to extend your arms and legs fully. A blanket for restorative sessions. Blocks are helpful but not essential — a firm cushion or folded blanket works. No special clothing is required. A stable internet connection and a device with a screen large enough to follow the teacher comfortably.
Yes. The Prakriti quiz identifies your constitution regardless of your yoga experience. Vata and Pitta classes (Hatha Prakriti, Chandra Yin) are specifically designed to welcome all levels. Sumit and our teachers always offer modifications. The most important thing is that you are in the right class for your body type — and the quiz ensures that from day one.
Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time — your access continues until the end of the paid period. Annual plans are non-refundable after 14 days but can be paused for up to 3 months in the case of travel, illness or personal circumstances.
