Bhavin Thakker

Bhavin Thakker has been teaching yoga for 26 years, working with individuals, corporate teams and organisations across the UK and internationally. He trained under Bharat Thakur — internationally recognised yoga teacher and founder of Artistic Yoga — and holds qualifications from SVYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana), a specialist institution for yoga education and research in India.

Bhavin brings postgraduate academic training in neuroscience and mental health to his teaching, creating programmes that are grounded in both traditional yogic principles and contemporary research. His teaching is informed by trauma-sensitive and neurodivergence-aware principles, ensuring sessions are accessible to people of all backgrounds, experience levels and physical abilities.

He has delivered yoga and wellbeing programmes for a wide range of organisations and individuals, adapting his practice to suit diverse needs, environments and goals.

Bhavin's teaching draws on the depth of the Artistic Yoga tradition — a system that integrates asana, pranayama, meditation and relaxation into a coherent and progressive practice — while remaining grounded in contemporary understanding of how the body and mind interact.

He believes that yoga is most valuable when it is accessible, honest and adapted to the individual. Sessions are not designed around performance or aesthetics, but around helping each person develop a more settled, aware and resilient relationship with themselves.

Where relevant, Bhavin draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology and somatic practice to explain why certain techniques may be helpful — without overstating what yoga can or cannot do.
