[About the Speaker]

Mr. Dileep Puliyolly

Born into a yogi family in South India (the Yoganaath lineage), Mr. Puliyolly was initiated into yoga and the secret doctrine of Tantra from an early age and was trained in all the classic forms of Indian yoga systems. 

As he grew older, he travelled extensively to find answers to his spiritual quest, which took him to the great masters of Himalayas. Under the expert guidance of the masters, he aquired knowledge in the traditional healing system of India- Ayurveda and got in-depth trainings in kundalini & meditation.
