About Poornima
Hello. I am Poornima, a 200 RYT certified & YA registered yoga teacher trained in the traditional Guru–Shishya parampara in India, where yoga is learned through direct guidance and lived experience. I am also certified in Kids Yoga in Canada, allowing me to thoughtfully support both adults and children.
For more than a decade, I have personally practiced yoga asanas, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation. Gently adapting yoga principles such as the Yamas and Niyamas has helped me cultivate a simplified, mindful way of living — free from constant social pressure and aligned with clarity and purpose in daily life.
I have worked with students experiencing movement restrictions, back pain, and joint challenges, and have supported them in gradually improving their mobility and confidence. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where each student feels comfortable practicing at their own level, with personalized guidance and steady progress.

My lessons are rooted in authentic Indian yoga tradition and thoughtfully adapted to modern lifestyles. Each session is carefully personalized based on your level, goals, and physical needs — whether you are seeking relief from pain, improved mobility, strength, or inner balance. Students with back pain, SI joint concerns, and long gaps in practice have shared how tailored guidance helped them move comfortably again and regain confidence in their bodies. I focus on safe variations, mindful progression, and attentive support so you can build a sustainable, transformative practice that truly works for you. I am looking for small group of people who genuinely want to learn.
My intention is not just to teach poses, but to help you rediscover trust in your body and return to your inner-self with confidence.

She has an incredible ability to understand the body and tailor movements to individual needs. Every session felt thoughtful and intentional, and she always made sure I was practicing safely while still making progress. Beyond her technical skills, she creates a calm and supportive environment that makes you feel comfortable and motivated.
Thanks to her, I not only feel physically better but also more aware of my body and how to take care of it. She’s truly exceptional at what she does, and I’m very grateful for her help.“You win and I win,” I told Poornima when I received results that had never happened in my lifetime with PCOS. Why did she win? Because her personalized preparation — using every necessary yoga posture with several twisting asanas and stretch my body — was exceptional.
After suffering severe back pain and undergoing physiotherapy last summer, I began yoga classes with Poornima Bhat. Her attentive, individually focused techniques have made a huge difference — I’m more comfortable, and recently I was even able to sit on the floor for nearly two hours and shovel 10 cm of snow without any hassle. Poornima’s personalized approach is unique; I gladly recommend her to all my friends.I can’t say enough wonderful things about Poornima as a yoga teacher. From the very beginning, not only did she guide my daughter through fun and engaging yoga sessions, but she also gently introduced techniques that helped ease her mind and relax her body.
I noticed a big improvement in my daughter's ability to unwind at the end of the day, and her sleep quality has gotten so much better. She seems more at peace, more balanced, and better equipped to handle stress in her own little world. She also teaches kids about positive thinking, how it affects our whole mind, body, and soul.
Poornima genuinely cares and puts her heart into what she does. I’m so grateful for the positive influence she’s had on my daughter's well-being. Highly recommend to any parent looking to support their child’s mental and emotional health in a gentle, natural way.I highly recommend Poornima Bhat as a fitness, nutrition, and yoga coach. She is one of the people who introduced me to meditation and helped me understand the importance of proper nutrition. Earlier, I used to believe that eating anything like rice would automatically give me the nutrition I needed. She taught me how to be mindful about what my body actually requires and how to track it.
I had been struggling with anemia for a long time, and yesterday my test results finally showed that my hemoglobin level has crossed the normal range. I truly believe her guidance on diet, lifestyle, and mindfulness played a big role in this change.
She is a great teacher for anyone who wants to build a healthy and balanced lifestyle.See more recommendations
