Meet Our Speaker  - Josh Mont: Ordained Kriya Yogacharya, Certified Yoga Alliance Meditation & Yoga Instructor

"My name is Josh. I’m a Kriya Yogacharya from the Sri Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya lineage. These genius teachings were preserved in their purest form and have been handed down by his chief, most advanced disciple, Panchanan Bhattacharya. They continue to be disseminated by the successive acharyas who follow in his wake.  I

 teach meditators from all over the world and my approach varies depending on their goals. Some want to learn to regulate and maintain their physical and mental well-being. Some want to hone their creative problem-solving skills, in order to navigate and overcome obstacles they face in day-to-day life. Others crave deeper meaning and want to learn to access their source of tranquility and intuitional heart-guidance. Finally, there are those who wish to unlock and access their deepest inner power; those who desire to attain the ultimate goal of meditation: Self Realization. For that, we use Kriya Yoga, which is a lifelong commitment and goes beyond the scope of a single session or multi-class workshop.   

My approach is unique in that it marries the ancient, esoteric teachings of yoga with the medical and scientific aspects. This helps students understand what unfolds on  anatomical, as well as energetic and conscious levels. It also shows the meditator how to use biofeedback to gauge their success and make swift progress!   I deeply adore this Kriya Yoga path. It not only continues to help me access states of consciousness I never thought possible, but I continually get to witness the same in my students, as they overhaul their own lives right before my very eyes. I cherish all of my students for their devotion, earnestness and sincere efforts and I look forward to sharing with you!"
