He has been conducting yoga workshops, organising programs for mental health; working with yoga teachers as well around the world.
Tanu Bodhi has done twice Annapurna Base Camp and did his first Mt Everest Base Camp in 2019. Not only that he was also lost in Kambo glacier for 24 hours where he spent a night in snowy mountains without food, camping gear, and without water!
