Whether you are finding your feet, rebuilding, or simply seeking stillness — there is a place for you here.

The practice

Yoga for every body.
Every season of life.

Mat and Mantra was built on a quiet belief — that yoga belongs to everyone. Not just the flexible, the fit, or the young. Everyone.

Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time, returning after a long pause, or moving gently through the needs of a long-term health condition — we begin exactly where you are.

We move slowly here. No performance. Only presence, breath, and the quiet work of coming home to yourself.

Meet Namrata Pahwa

7+
Years teaching

Namrata is a certified yoga instructor with over seven years of teaching experience. Her journey with yoga began not in a studio, but out of personal necessity — she was diagnosed with PCOD and turned to yoga to heal herself. What started as a quiet act of self-care became a calling.

Before following that calling full-time, Namrata spent years as a consultant with KPMG and Deloitte. She left the corporate world not out of restlessness, but out of a deep conviction — that helping people move, breathe, and heal mattered more.

Today she teaches yoga and mindfulness with the same precision she brought to consulting, and the same warmth she found on her mat. Every session is thoughtful, structured, and shaped entirely around the person in front of her.

Stories

Heard from those who came

I came with chronic back pain and a lot of hesitation. Within three sessions I was sleeping better and moving with less fear. Mat and Mantra met me exactly where I was.

As someone with type 2 diabetes, I needed movement that was safe and deliberate. These sessions gave me that — and so much more. I look forward to every one.

I had never done yoga before and I was nervous. But from the very first session I felt heard and at ease. The pace is exactly right — gentle, intentional, and kind.
