Neeraj Nautiyal

Born in the Himalayas in India, Neeraj (Niranjan) Nautiyal left a successful career in sales and marketing to pursue a spiritual path seeking a deeper meaning in life. He was drawn to the snow-capped whispering wisdom of the Himalayas where he lived for over 12 years. Wandering silently for periods and at other times living in ashram's high in these mountains gave him the opportunity to meet some extraordinary seekers and Masters with an advanced understanding of the nature of life. He was also able to visit sacred places little known in the West.

Through deep meditation, breathwork, yoga and other techniques Neeraj imbibed that spirit which he wants to share now that he lives in the UK.

“The Himalayas are beautiful but you don’t have to go there to find meaning in your life. You can be a Yogi anywhere, not just in the Himalayas as we all want to find happiness and purpose in life and to be at ease about the future. Only you can obtain that. No one else can give it to you but I can help you on that journey.”

Neeraj’s presence on or off-line is a gift – do not miss out on this opportunity.
