Molly’s Story of Gratitude for Adhiyogi’s Teacher Training
In the heart of California’s yoga community, Molly, the passionate owner of Clayton Yoga Shala, had always been committed to providing her students with authentic and high-quality yoga education. But in a modern yoga world filled with trends and surface-level teachings, she was seeking something deeper — a teacher who could bring the true essence of Yoga into her Shala.
That search ended when Adhiyogi came into her life.
By 2017, Molly had already welcomed him for two consecutive years to lead Teacher Training at her studio, and the experience had been nothing short of transformational. His Authentic Yoga System, rare to find in its pure form these days, instantly became a cornerstone of the Shala’s educational offerings.
Molly attended his workshops, devoured his books, listened intently to his lectures and chanting, and immersed herself in the Adhiyoga System. She was continually struck by how effortlessly Adhiyogi could take the ancient and often esoteric wisdom of Yoga — its philosophy, history, and depth — and present it with clarity, precision, and relevance for modern practitioners.
But it wasn’t just his mastery of knowledge that made an impact; it was his presence. Molly describes him as “a bright and pure soul,” someone who embodies the very principles he teaches. She valued him not only as a teacher but also as a trusted friend — someone who deeply cared for his students and their personal growth.
“I am so impressed with your knowledge and experience,” she once told him, “And the way you present the tradition of Yoga is simply astounding.”
For Molly, these two years of Teacher Training with Adhiyogi were not just about professional development. They were about building a bridge between the timeless roots of Yoga and the modern-day seeker. She looked forward to many more years of shared learning, collaboration, and friendship.
In her own words: “Thank you, thank you for all you do — for all of us serious students of Yoga!”
OM Shantiḥ.
