She began to teach yoga as a way of life 9 years ago, and set up a centre to cater for the rapidly increasing student body. Yogshakti is located in Jalan Ampang and presently caters for over 400 students.
She has had General Practitioners, Cardiac Specialists, Gynecologists and Psychologists refer patients to her, and has been able to help the patients using her combined techniques of proper breathing, nutritional advice and physical therapy.
Ms Ghatalia has held several workshops in the past, catering for up to 200 participants, including Nivea's fitness drive. She has also featured in their Yoga series pull-out. Besides workshops, Ms Ghatalia has also featured as guest speaker at health conferences, radio stations (WowFM), and TV programs (TV2's Point of View)
Ms Ghatalia is certified under the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy (US).
Ms Shilpa Ghatalia Has been working with different breathing techniques for the last 20 years. Was introduced to the Buteyko breathing method 5 years ago which proved to be a life changing experience for her. She has also studied Yogic pranayama under Dr. Nagaraj of Mysore, India & the Himalayan Institute both in the US & in Rishikesh. Although Yogic Pranayama & Buteyko breathing are congruous to one another, she has found the latter to be far more accessible & effective in a short span of time than the former.
