Our story

Started on a rooftop, grew into a daily ritual

Daily 45 began in 2021 as a small rooftop yoga class in Bengaluru — a place to unwind after work in under 45 minutes. Three years later, it's grown into a full studio and online practice followed by over 50,000 people every month.

Yoga is where we started, and it remains our focus today. It's about the format: consistent, trainer-led 45-minute sessions, accessible and honest — built around one discipline we know well.

Our purpose

Our Vision & Mission

What we're working toward, and how we get there — one 45-minute session at a time.

Our Mission

To deliver honest, accessible yoga instruction — live classes, guided breathwork and meditation taught by certified instructors — that fits real schedules and welcomes every body, at every level.
