Testimonial by Shri Bhopatkar Sir (Age 78)
My association with Girish goes back many years. We first met while participating as members of the Deshmukh Dindi during the annual Alandi-to-Pune Wari pilgrimage. A Dindi typically consists of 100 to 150 devotees who travel together continuously for 15 to 18 days. It was around 2005–2006 when we first spent considerable time together during this journey.
As we travelled together stage by stage, I was deeply impressed by Girish’s energetic and enthusiastic personality. He always approached every task with dedication and displayed an unending curiosity to learn things he did not know. What stood out most was his willingness to engage with knowledgeable people, ask questions, and learn from them with genuine interest and enthusiasm.
Over the years, we met occasionally, and I learned about his remarkable progress in the field of yoga and physical wellness. I also observed his confidence, compassion, and sincere desire to help others. His ability to guide and support people with genuine care left a strong impression on me.
On one such occasion, I was experiencing pain in my left hip and was visibly uncomfortable. Girish immediately noticed my discomfort and enquired about my condition. Right there on the road, he confidently explained the possible cause and assured me that it could be improved. The very next day, he visited my home and personally guided me through appropriate exercises.
Thereafter, he regularly introduced new exercises every week, carefully monitored my progress, and provided timely guidance and corrections whenever necessary. What impressed me most was the enthusiasm and commitment with which he followed up on my recovery.
In my opinion, Girish possesses all the qualities of an accomplished and successful trainer. His strengths include accurate assessment of the problem, simple and practical solutions, consistent follow-up, and the ability to motivate and encourage people throughout their recovery journey. Most importantly, he has the exceptional ability to provide emotional and psychological support, which plays a crucial role in healing.
I sincerely believe that many people can benefit from his guidance and expertise. I encourage everyone facing physical discomfort or health challenges to seek his help and experience how effectively he can guide them towards recovery and improved well-being.
I wish Girish continued success in his mission of helping others.
