  • Higher Yoga Academy

    A unique opportunity in learning about the Self on a much deeper level, especially guided by one of the best teacher duo I’ve come across yet. I recommend this course to those who are interested in spirituality in the non-trendy way. Give it a try and you may find some gold nuggets here!

    Thailand

  • Higher Yoga Academy

    The course is for people courageous enough to decondition their long held beliefs and experiences that lay at the root of suffering. Rather than indulging the 5 senses, Christiaan and Alex guide you through a deep internal pursuit to find a lasting peace. It's hard work, but I'd recommend Higher Yoga Academy to everyone dedicated to Self-Realization!
