Healing Without Surgery: A Father-Son Journey with Adhiyogi
In early 2008, Vikram, a concerned father from Ashburn, Virginia, found himself at crossroads. His 10-year-old son, Nayan, had been diagnosed with flat feet, and multiple podiatrists had all suggested the same troubling solution—surgery. But the idea of subjecting a young child to an invasive procedure with no guaranteed outcome felt both unnecessary and unwise to Vikram.
Refusing to accept that path, Vikram began searching for natural alternatives. That’s when he met Adhiyogi, the internationally respected teacher and founder of the Authentic Yoga System. Known for his profound understanding of yogic therapy and the human body, Adhiyogi offered something radically different.
From the very first consultation, Vikram sensed that they had come to the right place. Adhiyogi patiently reviewed Nayan’s medical records, assessed his condition, and proposed a thoughtful, structured plan. It included a select number of yoga postures, changes in diet—especially food types—and regular reviews every month.
Unlike the rigid and invasive options previously offered, Adhiyogi’s approach was gentle, personalized, and holistic. And it worked.
Within three months, remarkable improvements began to show. Nayan’s posture improved. His muscles strengthened. His gait became more stable. Over the course of six months, the healing was almost complete. Not a single surgical instrument was used. No medication was needed.
Young Nayan, who had once dreaded doctor visits, now looked forward to his yoga sessions. He even had a favorite pose—Neelakanthasana, or the StarFish Pose, which he proudly demonstrated. In a heartfelt note, Nayan wrote:
"Thanks Adhiyogi! You rock in yoga! I really thank you for helping me to get rid of the surgery. I learnt that I need to be focused on my mind. One of my favorite poses is the StarFish because I can do it so well. My muscles are starting to grow strong."

For Vikram and his family, this was a transformational experience. Not just a recovery—but a revelation.
“We feel truly blessed to have found Adhiyogi. His deep understanding of the human system, his precise yet compassionate teaching, and his commitment to natural healing gave our son a future without fear. We avoided unnecessary surgery and helped our child build lifelong habits of strength, awareness, and health.”
— Vikram and Family
