3 Es ( Expressions, Experiences, Emotions)
Radhika Bali, USA
Hari Om,
I feel blessed to learn Yoga here. I am thankful that an authentic Yoga center with experienced teachers exists. My experience, though short for now, has been enriching, like a river meeting the sea.
One can feel the aura of peace, warmth, humbleness, and respect upon joining the Dhrti Yoga family. Dhrti Yoga has kept the essence of Yoga intact in modern times, where Yoga is commercialized like never before. The class environment, both online and offline, exuberates with spirituality.
A sense of responsibility and discipline is cultivated towards one’s own Yoga Abhayasa. Different elements of Patanjali Yoga are beautifully blended in the 1-hour session. The class is welcoming to everyone.
Five yrs ago, I chanced upon the in-center classes during my short stay in Bangalore. Ever since I was eager to re-join Dhrti Yoga someday. Now out of Bangalore, I finally joined the online classes during lockdown times. The online classes are of the highest quality and very reasonably priced. Just like the in-center classes. All that is expected from the student is discipline and attentiveness to avail the opportunity to grow.
The classes start 5 minutes before time with a quiet meditation, for our mind to prepare for the Yoga practice. Shlokas and wisdom are integrated with Asanas and Pranayama. Nothing is taught in a rushed manner, yet the pace challenges me enough. Safety is given a priority. Here, I experienced the joy of Yoga which is taught orderly. At the end of the session, I feel rejuvenated, strong, and knowledgable. The class unquestionably completes my day.
With their sincerest intention and rich expertise, the teachers are always at the selfless service of their students. They are committed to making our lives fulfilling. I wish to serve them someday in my capacity. May they always radiate the inner glow, and touch many more lives.
I wish all my fellow Abhyasis and those who wish to join the best!

My relationship with Dhrti is 2 years old. I could attend couple of months session in the beginning. Though I was unable to join you in the center, kept going with whatever learnt in this couple of months till COVID lockdown. And I am happy that I am back on this online platform.
Whatever is taught is very authentic and from Prabhuji’s and Mataji’s own self experience as you always say Yoga as a technic and as an attitude. Thank you both for this blissful journey. It is not only I am experiencing the change(spiritually and physically) within me as well as my family too.
Now why to choose Dhrti?
Here, Yoga is taught, to live as a Yogi, instead doing as an exercise for physical well being. Yes, no doubt, physical well being is achieved when mental balance is in place.
Individual attention is given and they are ready to address any challenges faced.
Thank you for treating us as own family and we could experience your warmth of love and care for us.
Everything taught and spoke has taken as “veda vakya” and we all are experiencing it eventually.
Anyone of any religion, race, language, all can seek and attain Yoga Vidhya here in Dhrti and experience peace and harmony in life.
Once again thanking all the faculties of Dhrti and all my fellow Yoga friends. I wish you all blissful journey and all the success to Dhrti. May your good work reach many souls.
Hari Om Tatsat!

1)Teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone is very friendly and you experience a warmth when you’re around them. They help you out with any kind of concerns you have.
2)Here you learn a lot of new things every day, for example, you learn about Yamas: Mana Prasad and Kshama, Niyamas: Japa and Namaskara, Shatkarmas: cleansing techniques, different variations of Yoga Nidra, the importance of different mantra’s that are chanted on different occasions. You also learn the spiritual side of yoga that certainly helps in deepening our faith and hence every class is very refreshing and different. This is a perfect place if you want to learn traditional authentic yoga.
3)Discipline is one of the important factors when it comes to yoga, we have a uniform at the center that not just promotes discipline but also helps in focusing on our abayas. No time wasted on deciding what to wear.
4)There are many business-minded centers with a passion for yoga, But Dhriti is not about making money.
Just to put it in simple words – when I joined the classes again after 4 years, to my surprise there was no change in the fee structure.
Lastly, I’m very thankful for all the guidance, help, and support received from Prabhu Ji’s and Mataji Ji.
Sowmya – Yoga Experience
Since quite long I had been looking for a holistic yoga centre and fortunately Dhrti Yoga came to my rescue. It is at Dhrti Yoga, I started experiencing the transformation that Yoga can bring into one’s life.
Just after five months of sadhana at this centre, I am experiencing an unbelievable change in me. Whether it is stress management or controlling anger I am experiencing the magical power of yoga. Kuldeep Prabhuji teaches very holistically and gives personal attention to everyone. Each session is the combination of asanas, mantra chanting and small life lessons which fills me with positive vibes.
Overall, I am more mindful, physically energetic, and relaxed. Yoga also helped me to manage day to day irritations that bothered me earlier and hindered my advancement in professional and personal life.
Apart from yoga classes, spiritual session on every Saturday by Satya Mataji and Manutattwa Prabhuji are very soothing for me and helped me to attain inner peace.
I am convinced my life has changed for ever for good. No wonder inspired by changes in me my spouse also joined Dhrti.

Hari Om, It is a day full of yoga which is a first time experience. The practices help to develop positivity within us and around us which is also the message from Swamiji. Thanks for making this day a memorable one.
Dr. Ashwini
Hari Om. The afternoon and evening practice today were very quietening and calming. Swan analysis and sameeksha prompted contemplation. Ajapajapa practice was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Kritika 7 am, session
Hari Om. Thank you for all the wonderful practices you’ve guided us with over the years (and today). Everyday should be yoga day for us! I am truly blessed to have Guruji and You as my teacher. My heartfelt gratitude and respect to both of you. Thank you.

Hari OM, I went to Dhrti with full of uncertainties but after a week of practice of Yoga, felt so good with physical as well as mental happiness. Mataji and Prabhuji have their unique way of addressing our well being. Mataji has the aura of making us listen to the best practices, to get inclined towards spiritual living and striving to be a good human being. We felt so good about the knowledge imparted to us that we wanted our kids to follow the same. My son (7Years) started his Bala Yoga classes, we could see his enthusiasm towards learning new things like learning Sanskrit, spirituality, healthy habits, learning slokas which he loved and practices at home. Thanks to Dhrti.

It has been an amazing experience. I got better at the aasanas and the discipline, patience ad endurance required to do it. The trainers are very helpful and patient. They also give you individual attention and your progress is closely validated and observed. Best place to go for beginners
Shiny Manual / Hatha Yoga Practitioner
I have taken classes at other yoga centre’s in Bangalore but this place definitely stands out from all the rest of the places. The way of teaching is very traditional, it’s not just yoga that you learn here it’s a kind of living discipline that you will take back from your class. Guruji is very knowledgeable, the entire class is guided towards motivating you to do the asana’s with much more discipline and how to take forward the same and incorporate it in your life. So thank you for that. 😊

I could not thank Dhrti Yoga more for the way they helped my mom in lessening the body pain she was going through. Immensely thankful to Mataji and Prabhuji for extending their support and making my mom feel like a second home in Dhrti Yoga.

Tarun Kumar / Practitioner
“I really enjoy the Yoga sessions, Surya Namaskar and Aditya Hrudayam. It feels really good after the session. It’s not just about Yoga but also has Meditation. Never feel like missing any session. Would recommend others to join as well. Also, I’ve participated in the Rathasaptami event on Feb 12, 2019 early morning at 5. It was a wonderful event.”

“Spiritual place……. no more words to say.Mataji and Prabhuji train you to become more aware of yourself. They help you to change your thinking so that these changes are reflected externally. It’s a Gurukul. Knowledge is imparted and it is upto the recipient to assimilate and internalise the teachings. Thanks to their seva.”
A. lakshmi / Weekender Practitioner
“Yoga means not just performing some asanas. Its a way of life to live in the present each moment. Teachers are example for that here. Well experienced and knowledgeable teachers. They teach yoga in a traditional way including chantings and mantras which helps for peace of mind and spiritual growth. Studio is also located in a peaceful and calm environment. Best place to learn yoga for all ages.”
Kuldeep Wani / Practitioner cum Teacher at dhrti
” Hari OM, Apart from different dimensions of yoga, one learns how to know yourself. As we grow older we tend to become crazy. Teachers here are very strict. Indiscipline has zero tolerance. Students are not supposed to bring mobile phones. Email and take prior appointment before visiting the center. If you visit the center without prior appointment, then have the patience till attended to. For Baal Yogi’s, it’s important for the parents to meet teachers and take regular feedback. The center reserves the right to debar the student who is found behaving inappropriately. Overall, the teachers teaches you how to live a life.
Neha Marwar
“Hari Om, I feel blessed to be associated with Dhrti. Not only you learn asanas here but the way they teach everything , you get to know yourself better. They are strict and bring discipline in your life. Just like you follow a set lifestyle , here we follow a set rules abiding to which is beneficial to not only student but parents also. Specially bala yogi’s , this is the perfect place to bring discipline and sincerity in their life. So follow the rules and give your heart to the class and see the positive changes in every aspect of life. PS-Both Ma’am and sir are wonderful human being and very understanding in nature. To have immense patience and tolerance to give equal attention to everyone and look after the issues each one of faces is itself a tapasya which both of them are doing tirelessly.”
Sanchala Reddy / Teacher
“If you are looking for health and peace then Dhrithi is the place. The gurus here are very dedicated. Yoga has become commercial these days but it is not that way here. Apart from the regular practice sessions they have many other events like celebrating festivals, social Seva like temple cleaning , teaching us to chant mantras and Bhagavadgita etc . Every Wednesdays guruji would teach us chanting of Vedic mantras like purusha suktham and many more. I was lucky enough to learn them. I went here for a year and then conceived. Didn’t want to stop the practice during pregnancy. Therefore I continued to go. They give individual attention to mothers to be and teach us the aasanas which is important for us. Practice of yoga and chanting Vedic mantras made me have a healthy and peaceful baby. I would recommend all mothers to be to join and have a healthy pregnancy”.

Seema iyer / Facutly IIT, USA
“I was in Bangalore as a visiting scholar for 4 months, and was a student at Dhrti Yoga center while I was there. Every morning, and occasionally weekend talks and excursions, I was so happy to learn Hatha yoga in such a holistic way from the gurus. We learning about the asanas, pranayamas, shlokas, the meaning behind the yoga philosophy and the balancing of the mind that we need to be true yoga practitioners. It was also wonderful to practice the yoga that was appropriate for the day of the month and the season of the year, which meant that every day was a bit different! I am so grateful to Mataji and Prabuji for guiding me through these beginnings of my yoga journey. What an amazing experience–and highly recommended to all!”
Amruta Allada / Yoga Teacher
“The teachers are strict, yet humble, and caring. Best place to learn yoga for all age groups. Personal attention is given to everyone even though we are in a group. My experience at Dhrti yoga is very good. I progressed as a yoga practitioner and also grown as a yoga teacher. Had a very good learning experience as a yoga practitioner and as a Bala Yoga teacher. I am happy that I had an opportunity to attend both Mataji and Prabhuji’s classes. I learnt many new aspects of yoga. Gradually after few months I begin to progress in my asanas. Now I am able to perform Ustrasana, Chakrasana build up as my body became more flexible. I also learnt Aditya Hridayam , Chandra Namaskar and kriyas. Also admire and learnt a lot from the way mataji has taught children in between by inculcating good habits, manners, discipline and right attitude.
