Kriya Yoga Acharya – Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in Boise
Dharmadas has been practicing Babaji’s Kriya Yoga since 2013 and became acharya in 2019.
Loving husband and father, pediatric dentist in Boise since 1999. With his wife Allison, also a teacher of Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yoga, they are parents of 4 children.
He endured enough suffering in his early life to make him a determined and sincere seeker. After years of chasing happiness through sports, academics, collection of titles and degrees, he was still left unsatisfied.
Tapping the seeker
During rehabilitation from a bicycle accident, he discovered a practice of Hatha yoga, to help with his physical recovery. It also piqued the seeker in him, and he started down a path of inquiry on history and origin of yoga, leading him to Babaji.
The variety of techniques, authenticity of the teachings, and the synergistic approach to this integral yoga inspired him to pursue this path. After receiving the 1st and 2nd initiations, he knew he was home.
His practice continued to intensify, under the guidance of M.G. Satchidananda. He participated in the 3rd initiation, the Kriya Hatha Yoga teacher training, and a pilgrimage to Badrinath.
When asked what has changed with Babaji’s Kriya Yoga, he responds:
“Life is lighter and more joyous. Others noticed the change in me before I could myself. There is now a feeling of connection, an ease to life.”
It is now with deep appreciation for all that Babaji’s Kriya yoga has done to transform his life, that he passionately shares these teachings with others.
He has a unique ability to convey the techniques so that anyone, with a bit of grit and aspiration, can mold and manifest a better life.
Dharmadas gives Initiations in Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in Boise, Lectures on Babaji’s Kriya Yoga, Kriya Hatha Yoga Classes and workshop in Boise.
