Testimonials

Bharti embraces the eight fold path of yoga and shares those gifts with her students and clients alike. Whether in a yoga class or through yoga counseling Bharti teaches and counsels through the use of parables and anecdotes that are useful both on and off the mat. She meets each person where they are and assists them through the offering of practical tools to increase self-awareness and self care, find balance and to cultivate resilience in every day life.

I have known Bharti for 4 years now.  She is not only my yoga teacher, but has also worked with me one-on-one to help with personal guidance.  Bharti is truly a gem.  She not only helps me physically through my yoga practice, but also through her way of allowing me to see my life through a different lens.  Bharti guides me to be my truest self. To say that Bharti helps me center myself, is an understatement. She is my physical and spiritual idol.  

Yoga counseling sessions with Bharti are so valuable for my wellbeing! It has been helpful in my growth as an adult, a parent, a woman to connect with someone like Bharti, who leads discussion through a nurturing, non-judgmental lens. Bharti is a deep listener and has guided me toward a path of acceptance, appreciation, and abundance. I am incredibly grateful to have found her and yoga counseling!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Bharti Shah as my Yoga instructor and friend. Not only has she guided me on a physical journey that has transformed my body and mind, but her wisdom and compassion have also enriched my life in ways I never expected.

My journey with Bharti began 2010 in a conversation that led to two revelations, Bharti’s patient, caring, supportive nature and that she is a Yoga instructor. Bharti has been my Yoga instructor for 14 years. Each class is not just about the practice—it's about creating a space where you feel supported, encouraged, and safe to explore your body’s limits and find peace within. Bharti has an incredible ability to meet you where you are, offering personalized guidance and a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.

Bharti encourages her students to use yoga to build strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body. Class begins with Bharti’s impartial observations and thoughts for mediation during class. Bharti confidently incorporates breathing exercises, meditation and postures to focus her students on body awareness. She guides her students into safe postures, calmly and supportively, that stretch and flex various muscle groups, honing the skill of balance and strength in both mind and body. Bharti is passionate about teaching the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga.

Beyond the mat, Bharti is a true friend—someone whose kindness, strength, and authenticity have inspired me to grow in both my yoga practice and my life. I am beyond grateful for all the ways she has impacted me, and I wholeheartedly recommend Bharti to anyone looking to deepen their practice, both physically and spiritually.

Bharti has positively impacted my life for fourteen years. Her teachings have taught me how to balance my body, mind and spirit. In my thirty-two years as an educator, I have encountered many great teachers. Bharti is among the best. She is not only my guide, but also my friend.

My name is Lynn. I have been a yoga student of Bharti’s for many years, so as I was struggling with a few things in my personal life, it made sense to seek Bharti’s Yoga Life Coaching Initiative. Bharti immediately set me at ease and I found myself sharing things I didn’t even realize I was holding onto. Bharti helped me to understand that other people’s challenges are not mine to deal with or solve. I was taught some meditation techniques that brought me calm and peace. Consider contacting Bharti for a soothing, unique, and caring experience.  

I was fortunate to get the benefit of counselling sessions with Bharti as I navigated a personal crisis in my life two years ago. Bharti connects with people at a deep, personal level. Her calm, assuring demeanor made me trust my own strength and got me to ride the storm with grace and dignity. I highly recommend Bharti as your yoga therapist. Her methodology works like a charm.

Practicing yoga with Bharti has enhanced my outlook on life from a physical as well as a spiritual perspective. Her method of teaching is gentle and always begins with a parable to ponder during practice and beyond. In addition to leading traditional yoga classes which focus on breath and movement, Bharti incorporates her own guiding principles of Ayurvedic self-care as well as the “yamas and niyamas” or tenets of universal morality. I attribute my expanded level of patience and ability to better cope with the challenges of life to my practice with Bharti.

“Your breath is your music; your movement is your dance” ~ Bharti Shah

I have gone through many personal losses in my life. Bharti has helped me monitor my negative thoughts and taught me techniques to manage them and think positively. She regularly checked on me to track my progress and determine if I needed further assistance. Even today, I can hear her voice when I feel down, especially on rainy days after so many years

I recently had the opportunity to work with Bharti Shah, a personal yoga coach and I must say it was an enlightening experience. The integration of yoga practices with psychological principles provided a holistic approach to personal development that I found incredibly beneficial. Throughout the coaching process, I experienced significant personal and emotional growth. Bharti encouraged me to reflect on my life experiences and how they shaped my current mindset. By incorporating yoga philosophy, we discussed several practices for my personal growth, such as journaling beliefs, mantras, and poses. I found her approach to be personalized, sensible, and positive.

I would highly recommend working with Bharti Shah.
