Meet Neha
Certified Coach & Wellness Expert
I am Neha Rathi, an Executive Coach, IT Consultant, Health & Lifestyle Coach, and Founder of OM YOGA in Bonn, Germany.
I was born in India, a country rich in the traditions of Ayurveda and yoga, which shaped my early understanding of health and wellness. From a young age, I was conscious of the importance of a balanced, healthy lifestyle, and these values have continued to guide me throughout my life.
​
After earning a degree in computer engineering and a master's in Business Management, I began my career in the corporate world as an IT consultant in 2005. Though I have been practicing yoga as a child, in 2007, I formally started my yoga practice, which soon became an essential part of my life. In 2008, I moved to South Africa with my husband, where I balanced my corporate career with my yoga journey. By 2013, I felt the calling to share yoga with others and began teaching yoga in Johannesburg. That same year, my daughter, was born, inspiring me to deepen my understanding of prenatal yoga and the unique needs of women during pregnancy.
​
Winning the Mrs. IndiaSA title in 2016 gave me a platform to encourage women to embrace wellness, confidence, and self-care. With the birth of my second daughter in 2017, I expanded my focus to include postnatal and kids’ yoga, supporting mothers in regaining strength and helping children develop healthy, mindful habits.
​
In 2017, my family and I moved to Germany to be closer to my sisters, creating a nurturing environment for our children to grow up surrounded by family. I took a break from my IT career to focus on family life, returning to the corporate world in 2019.
​
However, in 2022, I decided to follow my passion for health and wellness full-time as a freelance coach after completing my health and wellness qualification. Throughout this journey, I have continuously advanced my learning, recently completing courses in advanced pranayam, meditation, and nutrition. Now, as an executive coach, I am committed to bringing holistic coaching and emotional intelligence into the corporate space, helping professionals achieve balance, resilience, and a fulfilling sense of purpose.
Yoga Enthusiast
Being born and raised in India, I was immersed in the practice of yoga from a young age. It has helped me grow stronger, calmer, more optimistic, and fearless, both on and off the mat. Formally, I started my yoga and wellness journey in 2006, specializing in pre-natal, post-natal, kids’ yoga, and meditation.
​
​Driven by a deep love for working with children, I am passionate about introducing yoga and healthy lifestyle, helping them cultivate mindfulness and well-being at an early age. I support my female clients by offering empathetic guidance and practical insights on women's physical and mental health, from adolescence through pregnancy into motherhood, ensuring their well-being throughout every stage of life and also maintaining harmony at work.
Coach & Mentor
After working for 13 years in international IT companies, I decided to focus on my true passion—yoga and holistic coaching. Throughout my IT career, I have worked in different corporate roles and handled various challenging and stressful environments. This allows me to connect and guide individuals from corporations/organizations to coach them toward holistic lifestyles while achieving their goals.
​
With a background in yoga, wellness, and corporate experience, I support clients in making sustainable lifestyle changes through mindfulness, nutrition, and resilience-building. I help individuals identify their strengths, set clear goals, and develop actionable strategies to overcome challenges and achieve personal and professional success.
My holistic coaching approach integrates self-care and adaptability into daily life, empowering clients to thrive in today’s dynamic workplace.
