							Himalayan Hatha Yoga helped me to healed and recovered my body completely from major injuries with using the correct alignments, bandha locks and breath-work, to release emotional and physical blockages through asana practices which led to a deeper understanding of myself and relationship with others. When I started to experience these practices on a more subtle level I felt lighter in the body, uplifted and energised which helped me to become centred and present.

							Himalayan Hatha Yoga has completely changed my perception about what yoga is. Breathing fully and being aware of the body throughout the practise, using energetic locks, applying the counterforce, these all helped me to go much deeper into each asana at a physical, mental and spiritual level as well. Applying these Himalayan Hatha Principles has helped me to start my journey to awaken my body and my mind.​

							The practice of Himalayan Hatha Yoga leads to physical and mental strength through the technique of muscle engagement and specific counter-posture sequencing, this technique found me at a time in life when the body was injured barely able to stand on one leg, over time through regular practice and deepening into teacher training with Yogi Ashokananda the inner strength & inner peace has evolved particularly through a strong regular practice of meditation and Prana Kriya Yoga. These traditional specific techniques have allowed life to grow both personally and professionally and it is an honour to share and help others grow along their journeys too.

							I discovered Yogi Ashokananda and Himalayan Hatha Yoga when I had a serious back injury. I was told by a doctor on Harley Street, that I had disc degeneration, and that I needed a steroid injection as a short term fix and to replace my disc between L4-L5. Lucky I discovered Yogi at this time. The specialised sequencing, strong and yet slow movements combined with internally working with the Bandhas and the breath, help to rebuild my body to be strong and flexible. My mind has become strong and clear. A while new world has opened up to me on this never ending journey of yoga. I now live pain free in an open and stable body. Thank you Yogi...​

							I discovered Himalayan Hatha Yoga with Yogi Ashokananda some years ago and I must say it came at the perfect time. I was becoming a little disillusioned and, dare I say, bored with my Ashtanga Vinyasa practice and its rigidity. HHY initially gave me something new and fun and I enjoyed the creative nature of Yogiji’s sequences. I noticed my body starting to strengthen and open up in new ways and my asana practice certainly improved very fast. 
However, as I was able to notice more subtly what was happening to both my gross body and, eventually more importantly, my subtle body, I realized that his special way of sequencing was creating a strong internal energetic impact which I had never felt with any other asana based practice (traditional Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Iyengar etc).
The deeper I got into the practice, the more I realized that HHY is much more precise than any other asana practice I had done before. It is very important when to take a lateral stretch, when to backbend, forward bend, twist. Each bodily system, for example lymphatic system, circulatory system, digestive system, meridians, nadis, reflex points, are taken into precise consideration in order to make the body work better as a result of the practice.     
No matter how intense the practice may have been, no matter how hard the body had to work and how destroyed it may have felt in that process, I still came out of every class feeling completely energized and peaceful at the same time; in contrast to when I used to practice Ashtanga Vinyasa and I admittedly felt good after the practice but I was more often than not drained of my energy. Once I understood the precision of sequencing amongst the other aspects mentioned above, it started to become clear to me why HHY is such a powerful tool and how it is able to create such an impressive effect on the prana.
I am grateful to my teacher Yogi Ashokananda for introducing me to this practice and teaching me over the years how to share it with others. Working with Yogiji is a blessing as his vision for sharing these authentic and deep yoga practices is far-reaching. As yoga has become more and more popular in the West, and with that issues come up such as dilution of the practice, new age yoga styles, fitness yoga, and other less favourable modifications of the traditional Indian practices, I find it a particularly important time for us to share authentic practices which actually work on a deeper level and bring us into a state of yoga, or union. Yoga is not just some gym or fitness work; it is a sacred science which supports us to fully know and realize ourselves and ultimately God.
