Pramod’s Journey with Adhiyogi: From Healing to Transformation
Pramod, an IT professional from Pune, India, first encountered Adhiyogi during a time of discomfort — both physical and internal. Suffering from persistent back pain, he sought a private lesson with Adhiyogi, hoping for relief. What he received was far more profound. Through personalized instruction and targeted therapeutic yoga techniques, Pramod’s back problems not only subsided — they vanished entirely. And remarkably, the pain never returned.
This initial success became the gateway to something deeper. As Adhiyogi formally established his practice in Pune, Pramod became one of his earliest regular students. Over the course of a year, his yoga journey evolved beyond therapy — into a rich tapestry of physical transformation and spiritual learning.
With consistent practice, Pramod shed unwanted weight and gained strength, flexibility, and fitness. But the benefits weren’t limited to the body. Under Adhiyogi’s guidance, he also dove into the philosophical roots of yoga, learned the art of chanting, explored a variety of advanced āsanas, and became part of a vibrant, like-minded yoga community.
One of the defining aspects of Adhiyogi’s teaching — and something Pramod held in high regard — was his remarkable sensitivity to individual differences. “He understands the nature of each student,” Pramod often said, “and teaches accordingly, helping them overcome their unique challenges.”
More than just a student, Pramod found in Adhiyogi a close friend — someone whose influence extended far beyond the classroom. Their relationship became one of mutual respect, warmth, and shared purpose.
Reflecting on four years of practice and personal growth, Pramod feels his life has been deeply enriched. What began as a search for physical healing unfolded into a transformative journey of self-discovery, friendship, and authentic yoga learning.
OM Shantiḥ.
