The Delhi launch marks a significant milestone in Yasmin’s mission to make world-class Pilates training and holistic wellness experiences accessible to a wider audience across India and beyond.
“Pilates is a dynamic and restorative practice that enhances strength, flexibility, and body awareness while improving posture and alignment,” said Yasmin Karachiwala at the launch. “Over the years, I’ve witnessed how truly versatile Pilates is. It supports rehabilitation, challenges even the most advanced athletes, helps alleviate chronic pain, aids in recovery, and offers dynamic training for sports enthusiasts. It’s equally beneficial for housewives, children, and those with desk jobs, helping them improve posture, strength, and overall well-being. We’re happy to partner with Sadhir Wellness to bring YKBI to Delhi and make this transformative practice accessible to more people. Pilates truly benefits individuals of all ages, especially those with sedentary lifestyles, helping them achieve physical balance and mental clarity.”
