“This practice has given me experiences of the deeper states of consciousness I always yearned for. I was into ‘new age’ and Indian traditions from a young age but never had the transcendental experiences I heard about. With this yoga I accessed absorbed states of consciousness and bliss for the first time in my life. It is mind blowing!.”
