Bored of conducting back-to-back classes from the laptop during the lockdown, Samiksha Shetty couldn’t wait to bend and stretch in a physical space. But the COVID-19 pandemic ruled out teaching yoga in person, at home. So she began to look for a dedicated space.
“I was about to make peace with a tiny space divided into two—one was a terrace—by a plastic door. Just then, I received a call from Aditya [Damani, a stockbroker-cum-yogi] and he asked to see it, only to tell me that I should lease the entire house,” says Shetty. “I always wanted a yoga studio and cafe, but it wasn’t on the cards so soon. When I told Aditya about my dream, he came on board immediately.” Within several months, the old building transformed into The Moon Village—a two-floor yoga studio, with an attached cafe that doubles as a co-working space.
