Under the guidance of renowned Yoga masters Ramakant Palha and Anuj Tiwari, the Ath Shri Yatharth Foundation is offering free daily yoga sessions aimed at enhancing
physical and mental well-being. The foundation’s yoga program, which is being conducted at two prominent centers — Vishal Shiv Park in Vijaynagar and Anmol Vatika in Karmeta — has become a beacon of hope for over 200 practitioners every day, from diverse age groups and backgrounds.
The initiative’s most compelling feature is its commitment to making yoga accessible to all by offering it completely free of charge. In a time when fitness programs often come with a price tag, this project has proven to be a game-changer for those who could otherwise not afford regular health care. The yoga sessions have not only been a source of physical exercise but have also shown immense positive effects on participants’ health, addressing issues such as chronic conditions, stress, and mental health concerns.
Yoga master Ramakant Palha, who leads the sessions with a focus on balance and mindfulness, believes that yoga is far more than physical exercise. “Yoga is a holistic lifestyle that integrates the mind, body and soul,†he emphasises. His colleague, Yoga Master Anuj Tiwari, echoes these sentiments, adding that the mission of the foundation is to spread health awareness and well-being through yoga to as many people as possible, encouraging a life of vitality and peace.
Participants have been sharing inspiring stories of how yoga has significantly improved their health. Kanta Deshmukh, a regular participant from Anmol Vatika, describes how her life has changed since joining the yoga sessions. “Before joining, I struggled with cervical issues, hand stiffness during winters, and frequent headaches. “My routine consisted only of bathing and solitary meditation, which wasn’t enough to ease my discomfort. Since I began practicing yoga regularly, my health has transformed completely. I feel more vibrant and joyful and I sincerely hope everyone stays healthy and continues yoga for their own well-being,†she added.
Another touching story comes from Krishna Kumar Dahiya, who has been practicing yoga with the Yatharth Foundation for two years. Before yoga, Krishna had suffered fractures in both of his hands, which left his fingers stiff and unmovable. “After just a few days of yoga, my fingers began to move, and my hands healed rapidly. Meditation and pranayama helped me overcome negativity, and I also found relief from the pain I felt when walking,†he shares. Krishna’s experience highlights the profound, almost miraculous impact yoga can have on physical healing and mental clarity.
The success of this initiative has not gone unnoticed, and the Ath Shri Yatharth Foundation is already planning to expand these free yoga sessions to more areas of Bhopal.
Their ultimate goal is to make yoga and wellness accessible to the entire community, helping to improve lives and create a culture of health and well-being.
The foundation’s commitment to providing free yoga to the public, especially in a time when wellness programs are becoming increasingly commercialised, is setting a powerful example of how traditional practices can still be a crucial part of modern-day health management.
