The most powerful tool for self-transformation.
Published in 2017, "Just Breathe, the most powerful tool for self-transformation," addresses the fundamental question - "how do we find peace, permanence, and certainty in a world that is, by its very nature, volatile, impermanent, and uncertain?" Just Breathe reflects the dedication, depth of experience, ethical standards, and practices that form the foundation of all the work conducted at the Institute.
Dedication, depth of experience, ethical standards, and practices form the foundation of all the work we do in health and wellbeing.
What I have experienced at Yogacara is a perfect blend of yogic wisdom, integrated with a physical and mental practice that builds strength, resilience, and endurance.
I spent most of my career as COO of a top multinational company. One day, I decided to start my own company, and also to try yoga. My journey at Yogacara has led to an evolution of my mental, physical, and spiritual
self. My body has become more flexible, fitter, healthier. My mind, more alert, and calm. I have seen a significant improvement in my focus, memory and life, and listening skills. I have developed better judgment, become
more discriminating, have greater confidence, and am quite happy to accept the uncertainty and impermanence of life.
Amidst the crazy pace of modern life, Yogacara is my haven in Bombay.
I joined Yogacara in February 2015 to calm my mind from the constant buzz and stress of city life. Apart from calming the mind, the benefits I have gained are manifold. I started seeing increased flexibility, followed by a
loss in inches and increase in lung capacity. I can now swim a lap of 24 meters without taking a break. My confidence and energy levels are higher, and my body clock has got attuned to a healthy new rhythm.
I found in Yogacara my anchor and a complete way of life!
A year ago, I would not have envisaged the massive leaps I have made in changing my life condition. Twenty kgs overweight, aches-pains-sprains aplenty, a pre- diabetic condition, and alarming cardiac markers pretty much summed up my 40’s. Radhika minced no words in letting me know where I was headed.
Yoga in its authentic non-faddish form, with preventive diagnostics, regular health tracking, nutritional guidance with the tremendous support from the team, using a wholesome approach, helped me integrate into my new lifestyle. I chose the path of bi-annual ayurvedic detoxes and an increasingly more mindful state of "beingness". Mindset and behaviour change enabled me to get my health indices back on track, knock off the excess weight, and get increasingly better with my flexibility as I take on exciting physical and intellectual challenges.
The beauty, I learned at Yogacara, is that Yoga is a way of life. I am thrilled to have discovered my anchor in Yogacara, through its adept mentors and team who strive to improve my life and my practice every single day. All I need to remeber is....just a little more every day!
I love Yogacara!
I love this place. The teachers are instructive but welcoming, the venue is lovely, spacious and quiet; by far my favourite spot.
Yogacara has been a refuge for me; an invaluable experience!
Yogacara is the place where I began my journey to develop the connection between my body, my mind, and my human spirit as learned to connect and integrate both the life and physical practice of yoga into my daily life. I began with baby steps! I have started to develop self-awareness through my body, and have also begun to experience increased flexibility for the first time.
I have learned the invaluable wisdom of the Yoga Sutras, learning how to apply this ancient wisdom into the betterment of my life. I am grateful to the teachers for their support and guidance through this precious journey toward greater physical and mental wellbeing.
The massages here are also very therapeutic and healing.
The experience is rewarding.
It is right to say that Yogacara is one of the finest places. It is definitely in the top most category in the Asian Market, and by far the best in Mumbai- India. Yogacara offers a wide range of classes from Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga,Vinayasa Flow to Restorative Yoga, Meditation and Teacher's Training courses, and much more. There is a class for every type of practitioner through out the day.
The teacher's are experienced and well-trained in their respective fields. The packages are extremely affordable from drop in class rates to weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual packages.
Yogacara's offerings go well beyond Yoga into the realm of Health & Wellness. The offerings include wellness and health consultations. My compliments to Radhika, who is a Senior Iyenger teacher and the owner of Yogacara, in managing this lovely place so effeciently. I highly recommend Yogacara; it is a must!
An incredible Institute with a wonderful team, awesome classes and support.
I highly recommend Yogacara!
By Far, the Best!
I have been coming to Yogacara for the past 4 years! It is a great space, the teachers are extremely proficient! Yogacara has done a great job with wellbeing! I congratulate the Founder, Radhika Vachani, for Yogacara being the best space ever!
The training program was a tremendous challenge, as well as a fantastic journey!
Radhika and the entire Yogacara team supported both our inner and physical growth with immense dedication. We were welcomed every day into a highly supportive and open environment of learning and sharing. I particularly
enjoyed being trained by multiple faculty members, each one of them an expert in their respective fields.
Yogacara remains my second home as I continue on the path of Yoga and my self-development.
Just Breathe is a brilliant book!
It goes well beyond the physical practice of yoga asana to reveal the more profound life practice as explained in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. Just Breathe not only helps you expand the love and understanding of Yoga, one of
India's most significant contributions to humanity, but it inspires you to live life with skill and fullness, despite the impermanence, uncertainty and challenges we are all confronted with.
Absolutely Amazing!
The experience is customized, and if one is remotely serious, then the possibilities of unlocking your body,
and the powers of your mind, unfurl beautifully. I highly recommend Yogacara.
What a remarkable and life-changing experience as I now see yoga in every aspect of my daily life.
The Yogacara Training was an amazing way to advance my personal yoga practice, teaching skills, and dive
into yogic philosophy. Being a part of the yoga classes and the Yogacara community feels like home, no matter who the instructor is - all are carefully trained by Radhika Vachani to embody the key elements of yoga, such as
mind-body integration.
Amazing...I feel so lucky to have Yogacara in my life!
The Yogacara weekend yoga and meditation retreat in Alibaug was truly excellent in all respects.
The venue is just half an hour away from the Gateway of India on a speedboat. It was wonderful to start the day
with yoga and meditation, and to learn about ancient yogic philosophy to live a meaningful life. The accommodation was lovely, and the food deliciou. I highly recommend this Retreat as it both relaxed and invigorated my
mind, body and soul.
The Best Decision of My Life!
Yogacara turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life - I have lost 30 kgs, and reduced my health risk parameters drastically!
At 150 kgs, I knew I had a problem. After scouting various weight loss programs, I finally met with Radhika Vachani at Yogacara. Yogacara did a complete health investigation. Preventive blood tests indicated that I was a high health risk. A highly personalized health and weight loss program was put together for me to include detoxification & rejuvenation therapies, diet and lifestyle changes, yoga classes, and weight loss massages.
Only six months later, I am now 30kgs lighter, well on track to reaching my health and wellness goals. The support and confidence I have received from the team at Yogacara have been unsurpassable!
All this, for less than 1/10th of the price quoted to me by Jindal, Banglore (8 lakhs), and Raja Island, Kerala (10 lakhs)- amazing!
