My Transformational Journey with Hitesh Ji’s Yoga Sadhana

Yoga is often reduced to just physical postures in the Western world, but my experience with Hitesh Ji’s teachings revealed a far deeper, more holistic path. His programs are not just about asanas but about true Sadhana—integrating ancient yogic principles like pranayama, jaapa mala, kriya, journaling, and surrendering (Ishvara Pranidhana) into daily life.

Finding the Right Teacher

I had long been searching for a yoga practice that resonated with me—one that would bring balance to my energy and improve my mental focus. However, I struggled to commit to traditional classes because I often felt disconnected from the instructors. Their energy didn’t align with me, and large group settings weren’t appealing either.

I even attempted to teach myself Surya Namaskar through YouTube videos, only to find myself frustrated. It took me over a year to understand the 12 steps!

Then, in October—just as Diwali, the festival of light, approached—I came across Hitesh Ji’s 30-Day Yoga Sadhana program. Something about his approach drew me in, and I decided to take the leap. I joined with the intention of practicing “tapas”—self-discipline and inner purification.

A Journey of Transformation

By the end of my first 30-day program, I felt a profound shift in my energy. The balance, clarity, and inner peace I experienced inspired me to continue. One program turned into three, and I went on to complete two Svadhyaya (Self-Study) 5-day philosophy programs as well.

Just when I thought I had learned so much, Hitesh Ji continued to unveil even deeper wisdom. Questions I had carried for years—ones I had sought answers to through books, spiritual speakers, and other gurus—began to find clarity in his teachings.

If a Guru is one who brings light, then Hitesh Ji is a true Guru. His teachings are grounded in ancient wisdom, free from gimmicks that cater to the ego. His soft, soothing voice carries a divine frequency, and his ability to guide with both compassion and precision makes his programs truly transformative.

A Community Like No Other

One of the most unexpected yet beautiful aspects of this journey was the community—our Sangha. Hitesh Ji has cultivated a space that is respectful, kind, and deeply supportive. Despite guiding hundreds of students, he gives personal attention to each individual’s development, continuing to check in even after the program ends.

Through WhatsApp and our Facebook group, we built real connections. Many participants were experienced yoga teachers, while I was someone who had barely committed to any classes before this—but there was never any judgment. Instead, I felt uplifted and encouraged every step of the way.

The True Essence of Yoga

This is not a program focused on weight loss or fitness. It is a journey of aligning the mind, body, and soul. The recorded sessions provided flexibility, but I found that attending live was where the real magic happened—Hitesh Ji’s presence, guidance, and constructive feedback were invaluable for my spiritual growth.

One of my favorite experiences was when he led us in Sadhana on special spiritually significant days, guiding us through prayer and kirtan (devotional chanting). There was something incredibly powerful about coming together with my fellow Sadhaks in devotion to the Divine. It was pure, uplifting, and deeply moving.

Gratitude and Reflection

Looking back, I feel immense gratitude. To have had such a profound and extensive experience from the comfort of my home from across the globe! Hitesh Ji’s programs are a gift to anyone seeking a deeper connection to yoga beyond just the physical practice.

If you are searching for a teacher who truly embodies the essence of yoga, who cares about your spiritual development, and who creates a sacred space for learning and transformation—look no further than Hitesh Ji.

This journey has been life-changing, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and connection to experience it for themselves.

With gratitude,
