Without The Right Sadhana and Teacher, The Path Is Incomplete
About Me
Im Tanu Bodhi; originally from India but based in Australia since 2008. I’m certified International Yoga teacher , skilled massage therapist, a dynamic Handstand and movement Coach.Immersed myself in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition in Mysore, dedicating significant time to intensive study under the guidance of my teacher Bharat Shetty.
My integrated methodology uniquely blends precise Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha and yin yoga instruction with progressive handstand training, underpinned by a deep understanding of human anatomy, the principles of therapeutic yoga, and the vital role of pranayama, offering a comprehensive pathway to well-being.”
For the past seven years, I’ve journeyed across Asia, leading immersive yoga workshops, curating transformative international wellness retreats, and developing specialized mental health programs. I’ve also collaborated with yoga educators globally, fostering growth within the teaching community.
Furthermore, I curate and lead an annual transformative Yoga and Meditation Retreat to the iconic Mt Everest Base Camp, providing an unparalleled environment for self-discovery, combines spiritual practices and inner peace amidst breathtaking Himalayan vistas.”
My purpose is to foster deep self-inquiry and comprehensive human growth by integrating the learning of varied physical disciplines, a scientifically informed approach to movement, profound embodied and spiritual explorations, and a dedicated focus on mental, physical, and emotional wellness.”
Handstand Coach
My passion for teaching handstands and six years of experience truly shine through me and have a wealth of experience and a really thoughtful approach to teaching handstands!
My emphasis on a strong foundation and a scientific understanding of the movement resonates deeply. I love the analogy of the tree and its roots – it beautifully illustrates the importance of those fundamental building blocks.
My belief that handstands aren’t something that takes years but it can be achieve with the right guidance. A handstand practitioner needs a solid foundation to achieve balance, control, and confidence. Without this foundation, even the most impressive handstand (the “tall tree”) risks collapsing under pressure.
Highlighting the role of breath, stamina, balance , coordination, development, inversion practice, strength, flexibility, and stability provides a comprehensive roadmap for practitioners or students. And connecting the handstand practice to benefits in other physical activities like yoga, cardio, or any sport really broadens its appeal.
The translation to a stronger back, shoulders, and core, alongside the muscle and strength development, clearly communicates the tangible benefits beyond just the handstand itself. You’ve articulated the value and the pathway to success very effectively!

Private Retreat
Organizing private yoga and meditation retreats with a focus on small groups and deep, individual connections is such a powerful way to facilitate transformation.
I’m really passionate about the intimate, meaningful experiences these retreats create a safe environment to support inner work, trust, focusing on enhancing the benefits of retreats and offering ideas to deepen the experience for participants.
Online Batches
Providing both private and group yoga and handstand sessions online is a great way to make yoga more accessible to people no matter where they are. Including educational content like human anatomy and tailoring personal sequences to individual needs adds a lot of value to the practice, helping people understand their bodies better and progress more effectively.
Are the handstand sessions suitable for all levels, or do they focus more on those who are already familiar with yoga? It would be interesting to know how you tailor these sessions for beginners versus advanced practitioners.
Workshops
That’s such a wonderful perspective! Workshops are indeed a powerful way to create a dedicated space for learning and growth. By focusing on mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, you offer people the opportunity to develop a holistic understanding of themselves and their health.
It’s great that you make time for these workshops as they help individuals deepen their connection to their own practice and gain insights into balancing all aspects of their well-being.What are some of the key topics or practices you cover in these workshops? It’d be interesting to know how you approach each of those areas—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—during your sessions.
well-being Retreat
Tanu Yoga and Meditation is offering a retreat that focuses on the connection between yoga, meditation, and emotional health, which would be a deeply enriching experience.
Retreats like this often provide a space for personal growth, healing, and relaxation.Yoga and meditation are powerful tools for managing emotions and cultivating mindfulness, and having someone with my 10 years of experience, scientific approach, and professionalism guiding the retreat would make it even more meaningful.
