Where engineering meets inner work.

A life-long student — of yoga, mind, and people.

Shruthi Bhatt is the founder of Chittamandara Wellness Studio — a manifestation of her lifelong learnings, values, and beliefs. With an engineering degree from V.T.U. Belgaum, she spent over 12 years in esteemed corporate roles at companies such as Infosys, IBM, Intuit, and Embitel. However, her true passion for yoga and counselling ultimately led her to pivot her career entirely.

"At Chittamandara, Shruthi combines her rich professional background with her dedication to wellness — creating a space where individuals can thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally."

She had a profound base in yoga since childhood, alongside professional trainings. She has completed RYT 500 in Hatha Yoga from a1000 Yoga Academy, Bangalore and holds an Advanced Mudra Teacher Diploma from YMT, Chennai. She is also a certified teacher in Pranayama and Yoganidra practice.

She has conducted more than 100 workshops and retreats across areas including Yoganidra, Pranayama, Hatha Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga Philosophy, and Mudras — for both adults and children — which have been consistently well received. She has helped more than 5000 students and participants in their yoga journey, with students from India, the United States, Australia, Holland, and Norway, among others.

The psychology thread.

Shruthi has nurtured a passion for psychology since childhood, immersing herself in mental health literature from a young age. Her curiosity about human behaviour led her to pursue a Master's in Counselling Psychology from IGNOU, Delhi.

Beginning her career as a freelance counsellor, she has positively impacted over 2000 individuals through one-on-one counselling and numerous workshops tailored for college students and corporate environments. With a track record of conducting more than 100 workshops on topics such as happiness, anxiety, depression, and positive living, Shruthi is dedicated to fostering well-being and resilience in those she serves.

She believes that everyone has the capacity to manage their lives and live fully. It is her life's mission to inspire and empower others — using CBT, NLP, Gestalt Therapy, person-centred therapy, and hypnotherapy.

She believes that yoga is a personal journey, open to everyone in their unique way. Her teachings transcend mere physical movement — she emphasises breath and inner awareness, guiding students through both dynamic and still practices encompassing flexibility, strength, mindfulness, and deep relaxation.
