uring the early days of his yogic path, Bharath founded his first yoga studio Creative

Yoga Center at Bangalore in 1998. In 2004 he relocated to Gokulam, Mysore (Indias

Yoga Hub) and re-christened his yoga school as Yoga India, then renaming it
Aananda Yoga India, where he continues to provide regular Yoga Teachers Training
Certification courses. Aananda Yoga India is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with
Yoga Alliance, USA. Bharath also established a second shala in 2012, in Gokulam,
Mysore (diagonally opposite the coconut stand, above the TVS showroom on Contour
Road). Yoga Bharata is a not-for-profit shala. It was established to provide yoga to
the local community, but also welcomes any visitors who swing by. Any profits
generated from Yoga Bharata and Bharath Shettys workshops are donated to INDEA
Foundation Charitable Trust. In 2014, the yogic system developed and employed by
Bharath Shetty at Aananda Yoga India and Yoga Bharata shalas was rebranded to
IndeaYoga. Bharath lives a yogic lifestyle and is always an inspiration to others.
The philosophy of his system IndeaYoga is health and bliss for all. Bharaths
teaching skills include an amazing flexibility to teach a broad range of students from
absolute beginner level to advanced yoga teachers and practitioners. - See more at:

as GERD. GERD, which

stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease, is caused by stomach acid

moving up (refluxing) into the esophagus and irritating its sensitive lining.
Heartburn doesnt always show up when you have GERD or acid reflux;
sometimes you experience coughing, hoarseness, and wheezing instead of
pain. When GERD becomes chronic, lasting over a period of months and
years, it can cause erosions, ulcers, and strictures in the esophagus, and
even cancer. Most of the patients I see with GERD depend on medication
to manage their reflux. So theyre relieved, and sometimes surprised, when
I tell them that they can reduce their symptoms, and eventually resolve
them, with natural medicine.
, or cycling, tai chi is a
mind/body practice of the sort that yoga is intended to be, offering benefits that transcend the purely
physical. Intellectually understanding tai chis philosophical concepts leads to a change of mind, and
performing tai chi movements leads to a change of body. When the mind and body engage in a
dialogue of hormones and neurotransmitters, the transformational effects of the practice are
enhanced
in an exponential way. In TCM terms, we can say that as a system, tai chi benefits the level and
distribution of our energy by bolstering some dimension of movement here, some emotional and
intellectual facet there.
