Swami Muktidharmananda Saraswati

From 1980 -1996, Swami Muktidharma lived in India under the direct guidance of his Guru receiving training and experience in the depths of yoga.  In 1996 a new phase of sannyas life began, which led Swami Muktidharma to New Zealand where he is Yoga Acharaya and cofounder of Anahata Yoga Retreat. He specializes in working therapeutically with people, training residents in yogic lifestyle and has published insightful articles on different topics of the yoga science.

In service of his Guru, Swami Muktidharma also travels widely bringing the message of Satyananda Yoga throughout the world.

He maintains a strong link with India with twice-yearly visits, during which he leads courses focused on topics such as Chakra Sadhana, Prana Vidya and Dharana. Swami Muktidharma’s understanding of yoga is practical and comes from personal experience over many years. He shares with humour and strength, touching the heart of many aspirants and inspiring them to gradually expand to their full potential.

He will lead sessions exploring Antar Mouna (meditation), and the Liberation of Prana (energy).
