Yoga for Stress Management: The Power of Awarenes
November 30, 2025
I have known Omkar for more than a decade now, and I have always had amazing experiences with his yoga classes. His way of approach is calm yet holistic and therapeutic, which I particularly enjoyed during my pre - and post natal sessions. His classes gave me confidence that my body could recover and feel normal. His immense understanding of yoga scriptures and implementation has only gotten better with years, which is clearly seen in his way of teaching. His pranayama and meditation classes are soothing and help balance my energies, feeling rejuvenated. I am deeply grateful for his mentorship and guidance. 🙏

My name is Akshay, and I'm a yoga teacher in Bali. For the past six years, Omkar sir has been a constant presence and a profound mentor on my yoga journey. His classes on philosophy and yoga therapy have always resonated deeply with me. What's even more meaningful is the friendship we've built. He's not only guided me professionally, helping me find the right place to work, but has also been instrumental in helping me find my own path to meditation.

A true practitioner of yoga, Omkar's teachings are not just theoretical—they arise from his own lived journey in yoga. His depth of knowledge, combined with his calm and grounded presence, makes every session enriching. Whether it is through meditation, chanting, or yoga therapy, Omkar creates a space where one feels guided with compassion, clarity, and authenticity. His ability to weave together traditional yogic wisdom with practical application in daily life is remarkable.
What stands out most is his sincerity and devotion—he doesn't just teach yoga, he lives it. The way he integrates philosophy, chanting, and therapeutic practices has not only improved my physical and mental well-being but has also deepened my inner awareness.
More than a decade of association with Omkar allows me to vouch that he is a genuine practitioner of yoga. His openness as a learner keeps his understanding fresh and ever-evolving.
Omkar is not just a teacher; he is a mentor who touches lives beyond the mat, leaving his students inspired and connected to their true self.

I've been practicing yoga for decades now and have had the fortune to interact with some of the best yogis of our time. Omkar, to me, has been a teacher's teacher. Over the years, I have watched his growth and journey. His discipline, practice, and devotion to the science of yoga are truly exceptional. He is also a Sanskrit scholar par excellence. I'm proud of the way he has built a strong community of yoga practitioners and enthusiasts. More power to his vision. I wish him all the best.

Omkar has been my yoga guru for the past five years, helping me through my ailments. I was suffering from severe pain in my lower back from spine degeneration, and difficulties in turning my neck due to stiffness. These had hindered my day-to-day functioning and quality of life.
Omkar designed a yoga regimen for me, which I practice 3 days a week for 45 minutes each. In addition to the general flexibility of joints, he tailored my exercises to address my back and neck problems. He also focused on my breathing and core muscle strengthening.
I am now 80 years old, and over the past few years, my physical condition has shown steady improvement. Back and neck pain have decreased considerably, and for the most part, I can function normally. I feel more energetic and my movements are steady. I feel strong for my age and lead a healthy life, thanks to Omkar's advice on diet and breathing.
Omkar is a very conscientious teacher who cares deeply about the physical and mental condition of his students. His guidance and directions have helped me a great deal, and I am very thankful to him.
I encourage everyone to adopt a yoga practice. With Omkar as your guru, you will reap significant benefits.

Practicing with Omkarji has been truly transformative. His guidance has helped me connect body and mind, especially through deep relaxation. The retreat in Rishikesh brought me clarity, improved my health, reduced stress, and inspired a sense of regular discipline in my life. I'm deeply grateful for this journey.

I started my yoga classes with Omkar in 2011, due to my lower back pain. Omkar immediately customised my entire yoga routine to not only relieve me from my back issue but also to help with my overall flexibility. Now 14 years later, I still have my yoga classes with Omkar's instructions and guidance. Not only is my back issue under control, it's helped me with my overall fitness and well-being.
A big thank you to Omkar and the power of Yoga.
