Yasmin Karachiwala's Body Image

Yasmin Karachiwala is a personal fitness instructor to Bollywood celebrities such as Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Sophie Chaudhry, Kareena Kapoor, Karan Johar, and also sports celebrities such as Zaheer Khanthe, and also the author of the book Sculpt and Shape - The Pilates Way. She was the first BASI Pilates Instructor in India, and has been revolutionizing Pilates in India since 2006.

Yasmin started her fitness journey when she was 18 years old, when her best friend dragged her to the gym to sign-up so she could get a discount on a two-for-one deal at the local gym. She was a lazy and chubby teenager, but reluctantly agreed to go. She found that she was extremely clumsy, and could barely do any of the movements correctly. Embarrassed by the way she had performed, she returned the next day, determined to master all the aerobics routines being taught. While she gradually progressed from the back of the class to the front, she eventually became the best student of the class. One morning, as fate would have it, her aerobics instructor called in sick and asked Yasmin to substitute for her. She agreed, excited, and the teaching experience she had that day changed her life forever.

Encouraged by her fitness instructor, she decided to pursue fitness as a career. She traveled to USA and earned her certification as a group fitness trainer from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and thereafter as a personal trainer.

In 2006, after having been a personal trainer for over a decade, she felt the need to learn something new and different, and that's when she found her niche. She went to do her Pilates certification from BASI Pilates, California. Going there she thought this would be the answer to washboard abs, but she found that it was much more than just that.

Her first client was Kareena Kapoor, who heard about her studio at home from a common friend. As Kareena achieved amazing results, more people started to find out about Yasmin, which finally lead her to open her Pilates studio in Bandra.

Yasmin Karachiwala has been training Bollywood's most famous actors and actresses for over 2 decades now. Today she owns an extremely cosy, classy and quiet personal training studio on Hill Road, where she trains along with her team of 7 highly qualified personal trainers and Pilates experts. Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Sophie Chaudhary, Ajinkya D.Y. Patil, Waluscha D'Souza, Ileana D'Cruz, Evelyn Sharma, Kiara Advani, Imran Khan, Zaheer Khan, Zoya Akhar and Karan Johar are just a few of her well-known clients.

But Yasmin is still not content. She doesn't want only her clients to benefit from all the knowledge she has learned and gained through experience - she wants to spread it and make everyone more aware of what it means to BE FIT. This is why she co-authored her first book with Zeena Dhalla, called Sculpt and Shape - The Pilates Way (available on amazon.in). And that is why she runs this page - to make you more aware and change your life for the better.
