Hari Ji had envisioned of opening up of a yoga school that presents yoga in its true essence combined with the traditional detoxification science of Naturopathy.

A large part of Hari Ji’s childhood was spent in serving and taking care of hundreds of sages and sadhus. Being a national level player in his youth, yoga was an essential part of his routine. However, he realized that in present times, the bodies of most people are full of emotional and other kinds of garbage, which hinders one’s growth. This led him to develop “Emotional Blockage” treatments combined with an unique synthesis of Naturopathy detoxification. Emotional Blockage Removal technique developed by Hari ji is a special scientific yogic technique which brings inner healing by removal of the emotional blockages caused due to negative emotions & brooding over past memories & dark energies from the spinal chakra which inhibits personal growth and mindful living.

Hari ji is well-known world-wide as the master of Emotional Blockage Removal and almost our every student from every batch of students testifies this. Along with calls for appointment reservation, we get numerous messages and greetings of thanks for him every week!
