Although this review is delayed, it is no less sincere than if I had written it immediately after completing the online course Radiant Living Revealed with Prem and Radha in January of this year! For me, the live-streamed courses with Prem and Radha were as elevating and inspiring as the times when I have practiced under their masterful guidance, in person, at the shala in Ubud (which I have done each year since 2014 – only stopping because of pandemic travel restrictions). I learn something new (and yes, profound) every time I practice with Prem and Radha and this is no different online. They gave me lots of modifications to my postures, and adjustments to my approach, that being the focus on energetic quality – which I hadn’t fully appreciated or perhaps understood in the past. In the past, I would confuse struggle with discipline and lack of struggle with laziness, thinking that if I wasn’t struggling then I wasn’t being disciplined and therefore I was being lazy ( I was stuck in this way of thinking). I have now learnt to modify and adjust as I move through the postures in a no-less-disciplined way than when I would struggle to get my body into a position, that it probably was never designed to be in. The modifications are very freeing for the body and mind, and I’ve learned how to practice the ashtanga yoga method in a therapeutic way – as Prem insists; this is therapy. Prem and Radha teach in a way that makes the ashtanga yoga method accessible for anyone to learn, practice and benefit from – few teachers do this. Over the years that I have attended their classes, including the women’s intensive and aryuveda, pranayama, and satsang online, Prem and Radha have opened my world, my outlook and my approach to yoga and to my life (which it turns out, is the same thing). While we are still under these pandemic lock-down restrictions, I would encourage you to do Prem and Radha’s online courses to give yourself that extra lift – you won’t know what you might learn about yourself and your potential until you’re doing the class. Do these online courses to keep yourself and yoga practice going and keep yourself inspired until we can all get back out to Ubud again and practice together in person!

My time being taught Ashtanga with Prem and Rahda was the just the best experience and I will come back as often as I can. I hadn’t done Ashtanga before but with their help I learnt a routine that was tailored to what my body needed to feel it’s best. There knowledge is second to none and also such kind lovely people. Only wish I had found them sooner.

I had a wonderful time practicing with Prem and Radha at Ashtanga Yoga Research Center! Spent a week there, doing daily Mysore style classes. The two of them have different styles that compliment each other very well, you can tell they have lots of experience and knowledge about the Ashtanga yoga practice. Especially if you have your own daily yoga practice, they make adjustment and give advise that helps keep your body and joint healthy in the long run. Thank you to Radha and Prem!!! Can’t wait to come back and learn more ❤️

I'm a student of Yoga rather than a follower of the Ashtanga Method however after many years of practice I came to recognise how beneficial this powerful brand of the ancient yoga system is. My interest in learning this method took me to various different committed teachers until I found Radha and Prem who are totally devoted to Ashtanga. They were like a breath of fresh air and are an expert skilled teaching team with emense wisdom that has clearly developed along with the method to now be able to offer well balanced up to date teachings. The shala is like a paradise to practice in! Quiet and calm, it's off the beaten track (close enough to Ubud for easy transport ) and has high quality flooring with lush jungle gardens to enjoy when you are there. My practice came on loads during the months I was there in 2019 and I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about health and of course yoga, no matter what kind of past yoga experience, to go study with Prem and Radha who are a warm and welcoming couple.

Si estás buscando una práctica de asthanga, este es el lugar. Radha y John tienen más de 35 años de experiencia y saben lo que están haciendo. Aunque el precio es elevado merece muchísimo la pena. He aprendido mucho con ellos y he corregido mis posturas que llevaba tiempo haciendo mal. Están muy pendientes de cada alumno y ajustan constantemente. Simplemente gracias ♥️

Radha & Prem are extremely experienced and knowledgeable teachers. I practiced with them for extended periods of time in the beginning of my Ashtanga journey and couldn't have wished for a better foundation! As a cherry on the cake, the shala is just gorgeous!!!!

At this wonderful shala I got exactly what I needed and also a good laugh every day. From the start as a beginner until now, I am so great full to have Prem and Radha as yoga teachers at my side. Their perfect adjustments during practise, excellent knowledge about Ayurveda, endless experience in pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy are of the best quality. Thanks to their enthusiasm I have experienced to heal and to fully live. What Prem and Radha have shown me is a big treasure for life!

I was late to yoga. After 20+ years of running I started experiencing persistent hip and knee problems. Eager to find another form of exercise I stumbled across the Ashtanga Yoga Bali Research Centre while holidaying in Ubud in 2018. With the expertise and support of Radha and Prem I started Ashtanga Yoga at 48. I also discovered Ashtanga Yoga is much more than just an exercise routine. I returned twice a year to study with them until COVID put a stop to my travels. Having an established yoga practice has been great during lockdown. I can't wait to return to my Ashtanga community in Ubud! Thanks Radha and Prem I'm very grateful for your enthusiasm, support, patience and knowledge. Hope to see you both again soon.
