First Indian Female Mudgar Coach Balbvinder Kaur Sahota
Rourkela: Balbvinder Kaur Sahota, founder of MudgarPower, is a pioneer in reviving traditional Indian strength training for women. As one of India’s very few female mudgar coaches, she has brought renewed visibility to the ancient practice of mudgar (also known as karlakattai or Indian clubs), a fitness system historically dominated by male practitioners.
An international yoga teacher and evaluator, motivator, and face yoga expert, Balbvinder combines deep-rooted yogic principles with functional strength training. Her work focuses on shoulder mobility, joint health, posture correction, injury prevention, and sustainable strength — particularly for women navigating modern sedentary lifestyles.
Through MudgarPower, she has developed structured programs that make mudgar training accessible to beginners while preserving its traditional essence. Her approach emphasizes rhythm, breath, coordination, and mindfulness rather than brute force, allowing women of all ages to reconnect with physical strength in a safe and empowering way.
Balbvinder’s mission goes beyond fitness. She views traditional Indian training tools as a cultural inheritance that deserves global recognition and respectful modernization. By integrating mudgar practice with yoga, breath work,meditation,face yoga, and motivational coaching, she creates a holistic wellness framework that supports both physical and mental resilience.
Her work has attracted interest from wellness communities, cultural fitness advocates, and women seeking alternatives to conventional gym-based training. Through workshops, demonstrations, and online coaching, MudgarPower aims to take India’s traditional strength systems to a wider international audience.
Balbvinder Kaur Sahota continues to inspire women to reclaim strength as a natural, confident, and culturally rooted part of everyday life.
