Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Acharya
Dharmadas has been practicing Babaji’s Kriya Yoga since 2013 and became an acharya in 2019.
He is a loving husband and father. He and his wife Allison, also a teacher of Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yoga, are parents of 4 children. He has worked as a pediatric dentist in Boise, Idaho USA since 1999.
Luckily, he endured enough suffering in his early life to make him a determined and sincere seeker. After years of chasing happiness through sports, academics, as well as the collection of titles and degrees, he was still left unsatisfied. During rehabilitation after a bicycle accident, Dharmadas discovered a practice of Hatha yoga, that while helping with his physical recovery, piqued the seeker in him, and he started down a path of inquiry regarding the history and origin of yoga, inevitably leading him to Babaji. The rich variety of techniques, the 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, as 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.
