Self-awareness, Awakening & Freedom

Yogi sees the journey of yoga and meditation as one which allows you to see all of yourself; his philosophy of “without engaging the vehicle, you cannot make any journey” applies to the engagement of the physical, emotional, mental and psychological aspects of self through his practices of yoga and meditation. The spirit or soul, he says, does not need healing as it is already whole and complete; it is the consciousness, the awareness around the soul and the mind which yoga and meditation can help to clear giving you access to the spirit or soul and self-healing. The aim of the practices is to bring you to the centre of yourself so that you can transform you and your life from this authentic place within you.

Yogi Ashokananda

Your Host

a luminary in the realms of Yoga, Meditation, and Spirituality. His life's journey has been dedicated to serving humanity, generously sharing his vast reservoir of wisdom and experience with all seekers of deeper understanding.

 

Hailing from the spiritual epicenter of India, Yogi Ashokananda's immersion in yoga began under the tutelage of his grandfather during his formative years. Guided by an unbroken lineage of Indian masters and siddhas, he meticulously crafted his own distinctive styles of yoga and meditation firmly rooted in ancient Indian tradition. Notably, his expertise encompasses Himalayan Hatha Yoga, Prana Kriya Yoga, and Atma Kriya Meditation.

 

Yogi Ashokananda's passion for spreading the transformative power of yoga led him to establish Yogiville Gurukul, with branches in South India and Croatia, offering comprehensive education in Yoga and Meditation for practitioners of all levels.


Despite his global acclaim and online presence, Yogi Ashokananda remains deeply connected to his
origins, traversing the world to impart his teachings. His return to Yoga Festival Romania in 2024 marks a continuation of his mission ignited during his inaugural visit in 2019, fueling his desire to connect with more students directly.

 

Seize the opportunity to learn from this pioneering luminary and devoted teacher, as he endeavors to bring peace, balance, and harmony to the world, one student at a time, all while remaining a perpetual student himself, open to the wisdom gleaned from every interaction.
