I suffered health issues during my childhood, and it was the moment that prompted my parents to introduce me to Yoga classes that set the ball rolling to transform it into a flourishing career. I started practicing Yoga daily, and eventually, my body started to respond and overcome the health issues. It was indeed a delight for my family to see the drastic improvement in my health because of Yoga.
My father, who was the sole breadwinner, lost his life due to depression when I was 12 years old, and it was a critical blow to our family. Post the unfortunate event, our livelihood took a severe beating, and my mother landed a job in Mysore to continue supporting the family.
The Transformation
I decided to work part time to join my mother in supporting the family. My friends noticed my knowledge and passion for Yoga, and they encouraged me to start conducting classes on Yoga. I started providing Yoga therapy classes for patients with diabetes and hypertension. My generous fellow students offered donations to continue my studies along with teaching Yoga. Eventually, I had students coming in from other countries to enroll for my Yoga classes.
A Lifetime Opportunity
At the age of 19, I get the opportunity to visit China for promoting Yoga culture and vegetarian diet practice, and I was ecstatic to go there and live my dream. It was in the year 2005, and the first year was extremely difficult since I couldn’t speak a single word in Mandarin. As my communication in Chinese improved, the members started increasing, and more people enrolled for the Yoga classes.
After working for a couple of companies, I established my own Yoga Shala Studio in 2013 to convert my dream into a reality.
Rather than a mere type of exercise, Yoga is a way of life that delivers an eternal experience beyond a fit body and a calm mind.
The studio spreads across 4,610 sq. ft., and I focused on training people living in the city. I provided public classes and one-on-one private sessions that included Yoga, Pranayama, and meditation.
This is the parent brand under which I established the following sub-brands to provide a complete resolution:
Conducting training courses like beginner teacher training, advanced teacher training program, and Yoga workshops.
A vegetarian restaurant to promote vegetarian food culture and healthy diet in China, making it the top vegetarian restaurant.
Head once a year to organize an event/festival to encourage the gathering of the world’s prominent Yoga teachers for promoting traditional Yoga and improve Yoga-teaching skills.
My team ensures clients take back more than they expected, and we create a cohesive atmosphere to nurture souls and deliver results.
The Yoga sessions curated by Mohan are truly a revelation, and they have brought wholesome transformation in my personal and professional life. I feel a deep sense of energy flowing from within, and my enthusiasm levels have greatly increased.
