I started yoga with Bharat Thakur in February of this year. After having my second baby in September the year prior, I was keen to lose those extra kilos that were so hard to budge. After attending 3 times per week on a regular basis, my body shape started to change after 3 months and after 6 months I was getting lots of comments from everyone about how good I looked and what a difference they could see. I never knew that yoga was so good for weight loss. If I had of known this earlier then I would have joined years ago. I love that each class is so different and you never know what to expect - it could be a complete stretching class or a full on yoga inspired cardio session or a class full of classical yoga poses. The instructors really do keep the variety up. Most classes involve some breathing exercises and sometimes meditation for 5 minutes or so. I feel amazing after every class and my general fitness, flexibility, strength and mental calmness have all improved considerably.

Artistic yoga is a very creative form of yoga. In this type of yoga you learn a lot of variation of postures and challenge your body as well as your mind.
Learning this form of yoga gives me me physical as well as mental wellbeing. Everyone should learn this form of yoga!

Artistic Yoga has become my passion and also a great start to begin my daily activities with renewed zest and vigour. I have got rid of my ailments like cervical spondylitis and hypo-thyroid all thanks to Bharat Thakur's Artistic Yoga.
Above all it has changed my inner perspective and I feel much more rejuvenated, energetic and exuberant then before. Last but not the least I have a great result in inch loss, which has shaped my personality as well!
I can also assure you that there will be surely an age reversal in ones life if one practices this form of yoga regularly as it makes me feel and look much younger then my age. Many thanks to Mr. Bharat Thakur.

Earlier working out in the gym, on a treadmill and pumping up weights, was my fitness regime despite the fact that I suffered from continuous lower back pain. Thanks to my wife who forced me to try out Artistic Yoga for a month. Though initially hesitant, did manage to wake up for the class and ever since my first class, Artistic Yoga has become an integral part of my life and miss it on the days there is no class.
Artistic Yoga has greatly helped me emotionally, physically of which I am in total control of. My back pain has miraculously disappeared and the toning of my muscles has helped me reduce a great deal. My fitness level in terms of endurance has increased tremendously with all the breathing asanas every morning. Artistic Yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective for my general health and there is a great sense of well-being.
Today Artistic Yoga has become an addiction and I enjoy being the first to reach the class and spread the mats for the rest of batch and wait for our master!!.

Raga and I started Artistic Yoga in Nov 2007, and now 3 years later we feel physically fitter than ever. Added to that our outlook towards life has become very positive. We had been working out for almost 20 years prior to joining Bharat Thakur?s Artistic Yoga... going to the gym, weight lifting, aerobics, kick boxing, hiking and so on, but we find that none of those has improved our endurance, flexibility, stamina and mental outlook like Artistic Yoga has. We hope to continue coming for classes for as long we can!

I started private classes with Artistic Yoga and it has been a life changing experience. I have been suffering from Allergic Bronchitis for the last 20 years and like all chronic ailments I was resigned to fate to suffer it for the rest of my life, except that my health kept deteriorating at a fast pace and stress totally aggravated it further. It became almost unbearable, rushing to medical centres at all odd hours of the night to be on a nebulizer, while taking antibiotics every month, yet remaining breathless almost all the while. It was pretty much a dead end (however, at the time the pun was not funny at all)! I started taking private classes 5 times a week. The sessions were tailor made to focus on my immediate issues and take care of the same. I was taken by complete surprise that the classes were immensely enjoyable and fun yet helped me to totally overcome my asthma. I can?t emphasize more on the commitment and dedication of the tutors of artistic yoga while admiring the high levels of skill displayed.

I was always skeptical about Yoga and more so about Power Yoga. Somehow, I enrolled myself in Bharat Thakur?s center, with great reluctance, just to find out why is it catching on so rapidly with the health conscious community. Now I have the answer; it transforms you completely; works on body and mind and besides looking good you can also feel the internal health becoming as robust.

I had been working out for the last eighteen years and 6 months back I gave it up completely. That the time I got myself enrolled in Artistic Yoga classes. The best thing I like about it is that I have a much leaner and toned up body because of it and the second thing is that the soreness in the muscles because of weights is completely gone. Also, I feel really energetic throughout the day because of the breathing exercises.

I have been attending Artistic Yoga classes since June of 2009. I work as a teacher for a preschool here. My job keeps me on my toes but I needed a little more to get me in shape. I faced most problems that anyone with a bit of extra weight would. Lethargy, tiredness, boredom were all part of my life. It was Artistic Yoga that brought me out of it all.
Today I am amazed at how agile and full of life I have turned out to be. The compliments from friends, relatives and colleagues and the encouragement from the trainers provided me with the urge to put in more at every step.
Artistic yoga has truly changed my life; I have become a more confident and happy person. The yoga that we practice does hold a lot of importance but it is also the method in which it is taught. Artistic yoga incorporates not only physical exercise it also provides a mental change and an inner growth.
One point that really worked for me is to get over the effects of change. Going through change was a very difficult task for me but Artistic Yoga also played a role in getting me out of this rigid mentality. There also is something new to look forward to at every session, so it breaks the monotony of physical exercise
I thank the whole team at Artistic Yoga for all their love and support!

I am really happy practicing Artistic Yoga. It is very well suited for my profession. I feel this form of yoga is non-conventional and work wonders with shaping up of the body. I feel I have gained much more muscular strength, especially the leg muscles and the core muscles as my instructor makes me hold postures for a long time. Now the body feels more flexible.
Varied balancing postures have improved my focus and concentration, which works very well while playing in the tournaments. Also stress levels are reduced which enables me to be calmer in competitive situations with other players.
Lastly not the least it has pumped up my stamina to great levels with surya namaskars to cope well with the game.

Having been into athletics since my childhood I always felt the need to improve my stamina, flexibility and endurance which prompted me to practice yoga and I must say that in the last 2 years of my association with Bharat?s Artistic Yoga I have seen my energy and flexibility and general well being improve by leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend BT's Artistic yoga to anybody who wants to not only improve physical strength but also attain a serene state of the mind.

Bharat Thakur?s Artistic Yoga has toned my body well. I am 60 years of age but now from the time I joined up yoga find myself much fitter, which was one of the reasons I had joined his yoga.
Secondly, it really works well on my energy levels and my stress levels have actually reduced. I can now find myself more awake, agile and moving around the whole day without much fatigue as I use to experience earlier. On the whole I am much happier and a lighter person.
Lastly, I completely enjoy passive stretching - the specialty of his yoga, wherein I feel so relaxed and ready for my busy day.

Upon arriving in India, it was a huge culture shock for me, as I have not done a lot of traveling. It would also get me down that I am away from all the people that are close to me. By joining the artistic yoga classes, it helped me immensely with putting mind to rest, taking my mind completely off of all my problems. After each yoga session I can feel that my mind is completely relaxed and content. I also consider myself a physically active individual, and always need some kind of physical exercise. Before trying yoga out, I thought that it was not really a workout, however after each and every yoga session I feel that I have had an intense workout, focusing on different muscle groups each session. Yoga has given me the benefit of feeling at one with my body and mind, as well a feeling of physical fitness.

I have been practicing yoga for about five years but I have increased my participation in classes significantly in the two years since I arrived in Dubai. I have attended Artistic Yoga classes twice a week for two years and I enjoy them enormously. I also attend Hatha yoga classes twice a week and, although I find these more relaxing, I do not find them as invigorating as Artistic Yoga.
My objectives in practicing yoga are enhanced mental and physical health, improved flexibility and as a counter-balance to running. I find the Artistic Yoga classes are very valuable in achieving all of these objectives. The classes are varied and energetic and the teachers are always enthusiastic, committed and motivational.

For me there have been many advantages of introducing yoga and more specifically Artistic Yoga into my life. A few years ago I was facing severe pain in my lower back and after a number of complicated tests, I was diagnosed with a "stiff L13" due to a genetic disposition. After numerous physiotherapy sessions I was hopeless to any chance of pain relief.
At that moment in time, my mother had been doing Artistic Yoga for some time years but somehow I was never interested. On her suggestion, for no specific reason, one day I decided to try it out as a medium to increase flexibility and the rest as they say is history. I was introduced to Seema, the strongest change agent in my life and a person who I will forever be indebted to my whole life as my true "yogini".
Since then it has been approximately 3 yrs I have been practicing yoga and I have had miraculous changes in my life, I am more than confident and truly believe that the approach to yoga which has been established by Bharat Thakur is undoubtedly the best route an individual can take to overall well- being. The tangible and intangible benefits are something that cannot be achieved by any gym, diet, spiritual workshop or book. The most unique thing is that while most weight loss, mental improvement programs advocate ?a loss of something" from your life. Artistic Yoga does it by only "adding" a lot more. For me it is a life long journey and it is great to have such good friends to guide you along the way. "Open your mind, take a deep breath and watch magic happen"

I have found a healthy balance in life with Artistic Yoga. Being an active athlete, fitness is an integral part of my daily life. Almost a year and half ago, I underwent knee surgery and was not able to do my rigorous gym. A blessing in disguise I must say coz Artistic Yoga would never have become an addiction that I greatly enjoy today.
Artistic Yoga has helped me lead a stress free life and an unconscientiously deep cleansing process that continuously happens relieving joint pains and increasing flexibility. Artistic Yoga for me has elevated sense of well-being and has helped me tone my muscles. The feeling is exhilarating!!!!!
