Bharat Thakur is a renowned yoga guru, known for his unique approach to the ancient practice. He has blended asanas, pranayama, and meditation with strength training and cardiovascular exercises to create a holistic practice suited for contemporary lifestyles. His teachings emphasize not just physical transformation but also mental clarity and spiritual growth. In an exclusive interaction with TOI Lifestyle, he talks about how yoga can be integrated in everyday life to get maximum benefits. At Artistic Yoga, we recommend three classes a week to beginners. While yoga is not as intense as HIIT, certain poses boost metabolism, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being.
