In his words: “It is through nourishing ourselves we also create space within to open up, and channel our personal energies towards, what is being referred to here, as the Highest: That essential Reality in which we move, breathe and have our Being”.

This Yoga Day will be a wonderful opportunity for Yoga devotees who are open to going deeper in their understanding and practice.

(Swami Krishnapremananda is currently Assistant Director of Mandala Yoga Ashram, playing a key role helping to support and care for the Ashram’s spiritual and practical wellbeing.
Having first visited the Ashram around 30 years ago in its wild and windswept early days, he joined the Ashram team a few years later and is now the longest-serving person in the Mandala Yoga Ashram after its founder, Swami Nishchalananda.

Krishnapremananda took his yoga teacher training at Mandala Yoga Ashram around 20 years ago and has been teaching Yoga ever since. Over the years he has matured into a knowledgeable and inspiring teacher with a wise, humble, and gentle presence. He is now a senior Ashram teacher and director of courses, including the Ashram’s highly regarded Yoga Teacher Training Course. He also teaches seminars around the UK and in Europe.
He describes his spiritual journey as ‘touching the ground of existence’, ‘a surrendering to the Divine’ and ‘a coming home’ and is deeply grateful for the many joyful gifts of grace he has received along the way. He loves Ashram life for the opportunity to learn from the teachings and presence of wise teachers, to feel connected to spiritual energies, as well as for the privilege of guiding students and witnessing them grow and blossom.
His primary yogic path is a combination of Bhakti Yoga (‘Yoga of the Heart’) and Gyana Yoga (‘The Path of Insight or Wisdom’), supported by an integrated practice of all the main paths of yoga.
He has travelled to India many times to visit and study with teachers there and is a student of Sanskrit – the language in which Indian sacred texts and most key yogic texts are written. He is also a trained counsellor and is currently training as a death doula, in order to support people through end-of-life experiences. Both these skill sets enhance his natural empathy, sensitivity and skilfulness in guiding people on the spiritual path.)
