She is a 25-year-old determined young woman currently pursuing her degree in Neuropathy and Yogic Sciences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This individual, whose identity resonates with the harmony of yoga, embarked on a journey that mirrored the graceful flow of asanas, seeking solace and self-discovery amidst the chaos of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bharati is a very creative, passionate individual who loves to read in her free time. She is also an Internationally Certified Yoga Instructor, mentioning that Yoga is one of her greatest passions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, Bharati found herself entangled in a relationship that drained her spirit like a never-ending battle against gravity. Just as a yoga pose demands unwavering balance and strength, her relationship demanded obedience and submission, leaving her trapped and helpless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yourdost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ydwarriorstories-bharati-innerimage1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20833 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/250;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u201cMy partner was extremely dominating in our relationship. He would also abuse me at times, making me extremely anxious and fearful.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toxic relationships can make us feel trapped, and as if we are never truly good enough. This relationship held her captive, stifling her voice and having a negative impact on her confidence and self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was as if she had been bound in a constricting asana, unable to break free. She felt lost and could not see any light at the end of the tunnel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking away from a toxic relationship is one of the bravest and smartest things one can do. Bharati, with great courage to make a change, decided to leave this relationship and begin a journey of discovering herself.&nbsp;yog<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, Bharati turned to her friend for comfort and support. Through this friend, Bharati discovered YourDOST and began to wonder if she should give therapy a try.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cMy friend is a great advocate for therapy and encouraged me to give it a try. His university, Gujarat National Law University, had a partnership with YourDOST, and that\u2019s how he could help me book my first session with my therapist.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yourdost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ydwarriorstories-bharati-innerimage2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20834 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/250;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bharati mentions that while she was still in the same relationship, she struggled with self-expression. This was a fear that clouded her mind when she decided to begin counseling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u201cInitially, I found it difficult to talk about what I was going through. Fortunately, my counselor made it so easy for me to open up, and she was such a great listener.\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her counselor, Ms. Ashna became her beacon of hope during this time of healing. Through her guidance, Bharati learned to express herself, her words flowing like the breath in a pranayama practice. Ms. Ashna\u2019s wisdom became her mantra, a guiding light on her path to self-discovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like a yoga instructor guiding a class into a challenging pose, Ms. Ashna encouraged her to journal her thoughts, connect with others, and embrace the serenity of meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/yourdost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ydwarriorstories-bharati-innerimage3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20835 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/250;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The journey wasn\u2019t always easy for Bharati. Yet, with Ms. Ashna\u2019s support, she began to mend her fractured spirit. Like a yogi who finds strength in a challenging pose, she found the inner resilience to move on from her painful past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slowly, but surely, the colours of life began to brighten again. The hobbies that had once brought her joy were rediscovered, and her lost confidence started to return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cI loved speaking with Ms. Ashna every week. She was so comforting, and I truly thought of her as \u2018my dost\u2019\u201d.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Ashna not only listened to Bharati but also helped her find solutions to the problems she was facing. She encouraged her to take action, to practice the art of self-healing. Ms. Ashna was not just a confidante, but a mentor who led her through the intricate postures of life with grace and wisdom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the realm of yoga, one learns that waiting for change is futile; it is the initiative that ignites transformation. Just as one must take the first step onto the yoga mat, she understood that she had to take control of her life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bharati\u2019s journey of healing unfolded, she began to feel better, one step at a time. She rates herself a 4.5 out of 5 in terms of feeling better, acknowledging how far she has come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey is far from over, but she has embarked on a path of self-discovery and healing and has emerged to find strength, resilience, and inner peace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color: #677373;\"><strong>Bharati&#8217;s Warrior Tips:<\/strong><br \/><strong>1.\u201cLetting go of someone who doesn\u2019t respect you, and doesn\u2019t treat you right is one of the best things you can do.\u201d<\/strong><br \/><strong>2.\u201cDon\u2019t wait for change to happen on its own.
