He was recognized in 2015 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for his 70+ years of contributions to the Yoga community.
The Bali Method of Yoga is the result of his life-long work, a proven method to tap into your inner reserves to achieve optimal health, happiness, and wholeness. It is the system to suspend the mind chatter; the "voice" in our heads that is perpetually concerned with planning, longing, rejection, and judging.
As long as the mind is unchecked, we are unable to relieve ourselves of our negative thought patterns and all its trickle-down effects on our physical, emotional and mental condition.
In the “normal” state of mind, in which most people nowadays find themselves in day-in day-out, the mind runs rampant, having full reign over our how we use our precious mental energy. However, this “mental chatter” fragments and distorts our perception of reality, disconnecting us from the truth of our human experience: Our feelings and sensations.
Through deliberately controlling the breath and observing our body and space during Yoga postures, the practitioner of the Bali Method is able to let go of the brain-drain and let in the wonder and infinite resourcefulness of the present moment. Thus, he is able to interrupt for good his every day, often negative and destructive thought patterns.
The immediate results of this process are increasing feelings of well-being, comfort, deep happiness and health, while decreasing the effects feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychosomatic imbalances.
