Real Stories of Healing & Transformation Through Yoga
From managing hormonal health to navigating the stages of motherhood, my students share how a mindful, props-based practice has helped them find balance.
Hearing from my students after 10 years of teaching still fills me with so much joy. This student shares how my prenatal yoga classes helped her through four pregnancies and natural deliveries, making her feel flexible, fit, and free from backaches.
"Pragya Bhatt is an exceptional yoga instructor who combines profound knowledge, clear guidance, and a calming presence." Reading feedback like this from my students warms my heart and reinforces my purpose.
"What makes her unique is not just her deep knowledge of yoga, but her ability to understand people on a much deeper level." It is my goal to make my sessions feel personal and inclusive for everyone.
"Pragya is a sincere, committed yoga teacher who delves beyond the physical to understand the research, science, and spirituality as part of yoga." I am constantly looking for unique ways to engage with the world of yoga.
"In my year long journey of yoga with her, never did I feel I was doing it online." I pay close attention to detail to ensure that even in an online format, my students learn correctly and feel the impact physically and mentally.
"Pragya is a brilliant and highly dedicated teacher...her passion drives her to constantly study yoga and evolve in her teaching." I am grateful for students who recognize my commitment to my own growth as a teacher.
"Pragya Bhatt is an exceptional yoga teacher and a mentor who embodies the true spirit of yoga." Creating a safe and supportive environment for students of all levels is my highest priority.
This is a testimonial from my student Prarthana, who came to me postpartum after her first baby and then again during her second pregnancy. Hearing how yoga helped her feel relaxed and gave her clarity of mind is why I do what I do.
This is Shruti, one of my wonderful students, sharing her journey from managing PCOS to a glowing second-trimester pregnancy. Her story is a testament to how a consistent and mindful yoga practice can support hormonal balance and fertility.
In this conversation, my friend Roopal Kewalya shares her harrowing journey with endometriosis, the resulting menopause, and being told IVF was her only solution. Engaging with your illness is empowering, and her story is one of strength.
About Student Stories & Transformations
These stories aren't just about feeling better; they demonstrate how a precise, Iyengar-based practice fundamentally shifts the nervous system. By using props like chairs, bolsters, and wall ropes to support the body, my students—whether managing PCOS, navigating IVF, or recovering postpartum—are able to find deep, sustainable relief rather than just a temporary fix.
When you look through these testimonials, you will notice a recurring pattern: yoga serves as a therapeutic tool for the long term. It is not just about flexibility or reaching a pose; it is about addressing the internal environment.
The Science of Props
Whether a student uses a chair to support a spine during pregnancy or wall ropes to release a tight, painful back, these are not crutches. They are essential tools for correct alignment. In my classes, we use these props to ensure your practice is safe, regardless of your current physical stage or level of experience.
Moving from 'Fight' to 'Flight'
Many of my students come to me while dealing with complex medical journeys, including IVF support, PCOS management, and C-section recovery. The common thread in their success is learning to shift the body out of a 'fight or flight' state—which often worsens hormonal imbalances—and into a state of 'rest and digest.'
Your Personal Path
Every body is different. You will notice that my approach adapts to the student, not the other way around. If you are currently struggling with chronic pain, hormonal shifts, or anxiety, know that there is a way to practice that feels supportive rather than demanding. These stories are a testament to what is possible when you stop pushing and start listening to what your body actually needs.
