Our Story
Welcome to Drishti Yoga—your serene space for virtual yoga practice and holistic wellness.
The Essence of Drishti
At Drishti Yoga, our name is deeply rooted in the essence of yoga. The term “Drishti” is a Sanskrit word that means “sight” or “gaze.” In the context of yoga, it represents the practice of focusing one's gaze or attention during asanas (yoga postures) and meditation. This mindful focus helps to cultivate clarity, balance, and inner peace, both on and off the mat.
Our founder, Drashti Bhavsar, shares a unique connection with the name. “Drashti” and “Drishti” share the same meaning, reflecting a profound personal alignment with the principles of vision and awareness. This connection inspired her to create a space where individuals can deepen their practice and discover their own inner vision.
Our Mission
Drishti Yoga was born out of a passion for bringing the transformative power of yoga to everyone, no matter where they are. Our mission is to offer accessible, high-quality yoga instruction that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
In a world where life's demands can often overshadow personal well-being, we strive to provide a sanctuary of calm and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, our virtual studio is designed to meet you where you are and support you on your journey toward balance and wellness.
Why We Started
The inspiration behind Drishti Yoga is rooted in the desire to make yoga accessible and inclusive. In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for self-care can be challenging. We envisioned a virtual space where individuals could engage in yoga practice from the comfort of their own homes, with guidance that is both personal and professional.
We believe that everyone deserves a moment of tranquility and self-discovery, and our goal is to facilitate that through thoughtful and enriching yoga experiences. Our virtual studio offers a range of classes, from invigorating flows to guided pranayama, all designed to help you reconnect with your inner self and embrace the practice of mindful living.
Join us at Drishti Yoga and let’s embark on this journey together. Discover the power of focused intention and elevate your practice with us.
Meet the Founder
Namaste! I'm Drashti, the founder of Drishti Yoga and a certified yoga teacher.
My intention is simple yet profound: I aim to share the transformative benefits of yoga with as many people as possible. Through my own journey of practicing yoga, I've experienced profound changes in my body, mind, and soul. It all began when I discovered yoga at the age of 11. Initially drawn to the physical aspects and the challenge of mastering poses, I soon realized the deeper, transformative power of yoga as it guided me through life's most challenging phases and decisions.
After years of balancing a corporate 9-5 job with my passion for yoga, I made the decision to fully commit to teaching. This shift has been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to create a positive impact every day.
My approach to teaching involves a harmonious blend of pranayama and asanas, designed to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can cultivate a healthy lifestyle from anywhere, at any time. Whether you're a beginner or experienced yogi, my goal is to guide you through practices that nourish both body and mind.
Join me on this journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being through yoga.
Drashti Bhavsar, Founder (RYT 200)
