Omesh Shah founded truerootsyoga in 2010 with the late Arun Gattani.

Omesh grew up in Jammu & Kashmir, India, adhering to the central theme of Sanatan Dharma, following the principle paths of yoga ie Bhakti, Jhana, Karma, and Raja Yoga, more as a way of life without being consciously aware of it.

From early childhood he was fortunate to be surrounded by highly spiritual people and exposed to their philosophy of life.

Omesh had his first formal taste of yoga in 2006 when he was working in the corporate sector. Although he worked his way up in that world, he always felt it wasn’t really what he wanted in life. He felt a strong connection to yoga, and it pulled him back into its sphere of influence when Arun reintroduced him to yogic philosophy.

Although his studies in India adhered to the highest standards, he has lived in England for many years and understands that different cultures require modification of methods and techniques.

Omesh has been visiting India on a yearly basis, and over the years has attended many workshops organised by the Divine Life Society and the Swami Sivananda Foundation on Bhakti Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda.

We're very exited about our next project, a major yoga retreat in Kerala, India, in November 2025 in partnership with Yoga Vida. Please click here for details.
