Safety & Privacy — Varenyam Yoga (Gated Communities)
Safety & Privacy

Safe sessions. Private data. Community-first.

Varenyam Yoga is purpose-built for gated communities. We combine clear safety SOPs, vetted instructors, and privacy-by-design for Sugam’s Scale so residents feel confident and RWAs can run wellness with ease.

Last updated: 15 Aug 2025 • Not medical advice or diagnosis.

Right-size batches

Up to 25 residents per batch for regular programs; ≤12 for Revive small-groups.
