Yoga helps Dimple rise to ‘The Last Millionaire’ challenges

Nov. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Dimple Sthankiya, is currently starring in the BBC Three TV series, ‘The Last Millionaire’ and is no stranger to stressful situations.

She has over ten years international business experience working in the tough world of management consultancy helping many FTSE 100 companies to improve their top executives’ corporate performance.

Remarkably, at only 34, she combines this already demanding lifestyle with running dimpleyoga, (http://www.dimpleyoga.com), her enormously successful company which she launched in 2003. dimpleyoga offers yoga tuition and coaching to groups and individuals (including A-list actors and elite sports people) to enable them to lead more fulfilling, healthier and balanced lives.

The next step in dimpleyoga’s growth is the launch of yoga products, studios and a clothing label on a global level.  

“People lead very frantic lives these days” she says, “so it is absolutely crucial to achieve the right work & life balance. Yoga is an ancient practice that keeps you healthy in mind, body & spirit and just taking time out for yourself is a huge investment in your own well being.”

In ‘The Last Millionaire’ TV show, Dimple faces a different set of challenges as one of twelve of the most successful young entrepreneurs in the U.K. competing to see who can create the most profitable businesses in six of the world's most exciting and demanding cities. http://www.bbc.co.uk/lastmillionaire/

“Obviously, it was very tough” adds Dimple, “but that is the nature of the show and something we all understood before agreeing to become involved.”

“To add to my experience was the lack of space and time to myself as we worked incredibly long hours and were always living in close proximity with each other.” says Dimple. The entrepreneurs stayed in backpacker hostels and survived on a limited budget for food and drink.

“That lack of time and space was actually one of the toughest parts of the whole experience” continued Dimple, “but my yoga routine helped me through it. One of the many great things about yoga is that you don’t need special or expensive equipment to totally de-stress; I could just get up early, roll out my mat & either prepare for the busy day ahead. Or relax after a day trying to make money.”

Recently, Dimple has set up her own innovation and ventures consultancy The Blue Seed and is a Co-Founder of Good Vibes, a media company in development with fellow entrepreneur Kerrie Keeling.

About ‘The Last Millionaire’

‘The Last Millionaire’ takes 12 of Britain's most successful young entrepreneurs and drops them into six of the world's most exciting and demanding cities. Here they face the ultimate business challenge; to make money from scratch in just five days.

Used to running successful businesses, these award winning entrepreneurs have proved themselves at home, but can they do it abroad? This time they'll be stripped of their legions of staff, company contacts, personal cash/credit cards and all their business lifelines. All they have left is a small amount of start up capital plus their raw money making talent.

To make it even tougher the entrepreneurs won't be travelling in the style they're used to. Instead of five star accommodation they'll be staying in backpacker hostels and surviving on a limited budget for food and drink. The only way back to their lavish lifestyles is to make more money than their rivals.

Visiting a new city every week the entrepreneurs must work in pairs. They can choose who they work with each week. And it's only the most successful partnership which gets to go home. The losing pairs continue until there are only two left. In the final week they go head to head where one will become The Last Millionaire.
