The Legacy Expands to Delhi with YKBI
India’s pioneering Pilates expert Yasmin Karachiwala introduces her signature movement philosophy to the capital, inspiring Delhi to embrace strength, balance, and mindful living.
In the quiet lanes of New Rajinder Nagar, New DELHI a new rhythm of movement has found its home. India’s leading Pilates expert, Yasmin Karachiwala, has opened the doors to her newest studio, Yasmin Karachiwala’s Body Image (YKBI), in collaboration with Sadhir Wellness Pvt. Ltd.
Founded by siblings Sakshi Jain and Ashdhir Dipankar Jain, Sadhir Wellness shares Yasmin’s belief in mindful movement and holistic well-being — a philosophy that sits at the heart of this new space.
For over three decades, Yasmin Karachiwala has redefined the idea of fitness in India. As the country’s first BASI-certified Pilates instructor, she has built a legacy of strength, grace, and awareness, training some of Bollywood’s most disciplined personalities including Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, and Ananya Panday. Her books, The Perfect 10: 10-Minute Workouts You Can Do Anywhere and Sculpt and Shape: The Pilates Way, reflect that same philosophy — that movement, when practiced consciously, can transform far more than the body.
With eleven studios across India and over sixty instructors, YKBI has become a name synonymous with precision and care. Each studio carries Yasmin’s approach — tailored, attentive, and rooted in connection. The new Delhi launch marks an important step in her journey to make Pilates and holistic wellness more accessible to people across the country.
“Pilates is a dynamic and restorative practice that enhances strength, flexibility, and body awareness while improving posture and alignment,” Yasmin said at the launch. “Over the years, I’ve seen how versatile it truly is. It supports rehabilitation, challenges professional athletes, helps relieve chronic pain, and restores balance for those leading sedentary lives. Whether it’s a housewife, a student, or someone with a desk job — Pilates helps you reconnect with yourself. It brings clarity, strength, and peace.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Sakshi Jain of Sadhir Wellness added, “Our new YKBI studio introduces Delhi to Yasmin’s signature Pilates methodology — a blend of strength, alignment, and mindful movement that has transformed the fitness journeys of so many. The space reflects her design aesthetic — calm, functional, and elegant. It’s equipped with advanced Reformers, Pilates Chairs, and Spinal Correctors. Every instructor here has been personally trained and mentored by Yasmin through the YKBI Pilates Academy, ensuring that every class carries her authenticity and expertise.”
Offering personal, duet, and group sessions, YKBI Delhi promises an experience that is as rejuvenating as it is transformative.
So, Delhi — it’s time to move, breathe, and rediscover balance.
