Chithambara Yoga — Klang, Selangor The sky of consciousnessbegins with one breath.
Chithambara takes its name from the old Tamil word for the space where awareness meets the open sky. It’s the same stillness we return to on the mat — a powerful space built around one idea: form settles, breath remains.
How we practice
Three things we return to, in order.
First
Prāṇa — breath
Every class begins in the breath, not the pose. We slow it down until the body has something to follow, instead of the other way around.
Then
Āsana — form
The postures are the visible part of practice: a place to build strength, patience, and an honest read of what your body is actually telling you.
What remains
Dhyāna — stillness
What’s left when the form falls away. The quiet minute at the end of class isn’t a pause in the practice — it is the practice.
Gaya Subramaniam, founder
Named for an empty space
Chidambaram means the “sky of consciousness.”
In the old temple town of Chidambaram, the innermost sanctum is said to hold nothing at all — an open space behind a curtain, standing in for awareness without form. We borrowed the name for what it says about practice, not for the theology: the point was never to arrive at a perfect shape. It’s to notice the space you’re moving through to get there.
In 2023, Gaya founded Chithambara Yoga at KSL Avenue, Klang — a sanctuary for seekers and health enthusiasts looking to deepen their inner awareness and connect with holistic healing practices. She believes that through consistent practice, you can reconnect with your own inner guru and illuminate from within.

From the students
What people say after the first month.
“It’s the only studio where I’ve actually finished savasana without checking the time.”
“Gaya’s lineage really shows — the attention to alignment and breath is unlike any class I’ve taken.”
“Small classes, real instruction, no mirrors competing with your own breath. Exactly what I needed.”
