Even athletes at George Mason University experienced yoga as an essential part of their training, guided by Coach Jim Larranaga’s vision and Adhiyogi’s wisdom. In those sessions, yoga was not simply exercise—it was inner discipline, balance, and strength. Whether for a child finding relief from stress or a professional athlete seeking edge and focus, the impact was profound. The book contains many such stories of fulfillment in yoga training. What stands out is Dr. Kulkarni’s ability to weave together the depth of India’s philosophical traditions with the practical needs of modern seekers. As one teacher observed, he answers with ease and precision, always drawing from a well of insight that transcends mere technique. His delectable style of writing makes this work compelling to read.
I have had the privilege of being associated with Dr. Kulkarni, having organized the release of his books at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mysore Kendra, and M. P. Birla Institute of Management. I have witnessed with awe, the sincerity of his work and the reach of his approach to teaching yoga. It is my heartfelt wish that Dr. Neel Kulkarni system of Authentic Yoga continues to spread peace, balance, and joy across the world.
