Anahata Yoga is a very rare and old tradition coming from Assam in the Himalayan mountains in India, focusing on the opening of the Heart Chakra as a connection point between consciousness (Shiva) and Kundalini energy (Shakti) and represents love, charity and balance.

Peter, now over 70 years young, learned this tradition from his first teacher, Shankara, in the 1960’s when he travelled to India for the first time. The philosophy and practice of Anahata Yoga resonated so much with him that he stayed with his teacher in India for 10 years straight before he started travelling and studying with other teachers like Swami Sarasvati, TKV Desikachar, AG Mohan, BKS Iyengar and Rishi Nityabhodananda. But even though he has been studying with all those great teachers, he always came back to Anahata Yoga.
