My Diagnosis: I am a retired academic psychologist. In 2011, due to the negative impact on my health following the worsening of symptoms related to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, I retired from my position as Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Monash University, one of the four major universities in Melbourne. I was, at that time what many would consider, at the peak of my career. Even though I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the age of 32 years, apart from small “attacks” over the years, I was generally healthy. I did notice a gradual decline in energy levels over the years beginning in the early 2000s. During the years that followed my diagnosis in 1994, I experienced around three minor attacks that passed within a month or two. These attacks brought about rather minor symptoms (e.g., finger tingling, numbness in my jaw). The Significant “Attack”: It was not until 2010 that the MS began to feature more prominently in my life following what can be described as a significant attack. Following this “attack”, I developed an extreme sensitivity in my right hand. As the week progressed, I had become numb on the entire right side of my body. A full MRI (brain and spine) scan showed that I had a new lesion in my spine (the second in my spine since first being diagnosed in 1994). It was only 5mm in size but the inflammation around it affected a large network of nerves and as the week progressed, the entire right side of my body became numb. The numbness passed with time but several symptoms remained. As time passed, I developed a girdle-like sensation (otherwise referred to as the MS hug), on the right side of my body and a heaviness in my right leg. My balance/gait also increasingly became compromised and my fatigue increased. I also developed urinary urgency needing to visit the toilet so frequently that my quality of life was severely impacted. Toward the 7 year mark spasticity and nerve pain became additional symptoms. Seeking Treatment: As the years went on, I tried many treatments, diet, chakra balancing, meditation, nutritional supplements and more but nothing changed. Instead my health worsened. My bladder functioning worsened, my fatigue increased, my muscle spasticity increased, my muscles in my legs and right side became increasingly weaker and my balance became increasingly compromised. The Miracle begins: Fast forward to 2023. There is still no recognised treatment that can cure MS. I feel supremely blessed to have found Lenish John. I found his Kriya yoga website (https://www.kriyayoga.com.au/lenishjohn/) in June, 2023 when searching for a meditation group following a significant adverse life event. Upon reading the testimonials I became immensely impressed. Lenish John teaches a rare form of traditional Kriya yoga that heals body and soul. It is very much a spiritual tradition but has powerful healing effects. The special methods used by Lenish do not interfere with otherwise traditional medical practices. Rather, his methods are used to complement existing protocols. The practices are based on the natural innate powers of the body and mind and do not require in jesting external substances. Breath techniques are core. I have been seeing Lenish for healing only since 30th June, 2023 and I have begun to get my life back. During the time I have been seeing him my bladder functioning has returned to normal. I no longer need to run to the toilet every half hour. My fatigue has lifted, my muscles have become flexible again. My spine has straightened and is stronger. My balance has improved. I am walking without the aid of a walking stick. I still have a way to go to becoming fully healthy again but for the first time since 2010, I can see a future with full health, The amount of healing that has occurred in just a few months following more than a decade of declining health is no less than a miracle. I am looking forward to the next several months with an anticipation and excitement regarding my health, that I haven’t experienced in over a decade.

I am a practising Solicitor and Notary Public in the Melbourne Central Business District. Lenish John came to my office a few years ago and I provided him with notarial services. It was clear to me from the outset that Lenish is a very special person. I found him intriguing and the more we spoke the more I realised how special and talented he is. He informed me that he has a yoga practice and this seemed providential because it had been on my mind to learn some meditation exercises because of the well-known health benefits of doing so. It seemed providential that here was an opportunity to have one-on-one sessions with such an experienced yoga trainer. Not only have I been fortunate to learn to practise Atharvanic Kriya yoga in order to promote physical, mental and spiritual health. As well as the meditation, Lenish also provides several naturopathic therapies – his focus is holistic and tailor made to each person’s unique circumstances. Several times I have benefited from “Shirodhara” (this involves pouring aromatic oil on the forehead and it creates a blissful, healing sensation). So too, I have benefited from “Kizhi” (which involves the use of a herbal pouch massage), as well as “Nadi Swedhan” (herbal steaming). For me, having Lenish as a one-on-one yoga teacher has been profoundly beneficial. He is most attentive and attune to my needs. I am so grateful that I met Lenish and rightly perceived that he has the skills to assist me in achieving a better way of living. I have no hesitation in recommending Lenish John as a highly skilled yoga teacher and natural therapist whose teaching and therapy have significantly benefited me, both personally and professionally.

I’m an Italian- Brazilian lady of 35 years old that came to live in Australia just 2 years and half ago. When I went to John more than a year ago, I was struggling with several body and mental issues. My condition at that time was extremely bad, also considering the numerous surgeries I had to face until met him. After only one month of practicing and treatments I started having the first extremely important results: my period was blocked for 4 years and restarted as regular as never been. My main problem was my digestion with many problems in my stomach and colorectal issues (I had 2 surgery in this area that didn’t work). I was losing blood almost every day in the toilet, having acidity and cramps whatever I was eating...as I already said my situation was extremely negative. It has been till now a long, intensive journey, I’m discovering every day, how powerful is this yoga and how human and supportive is Lenish John: I consider him a friend, a confident, but most of all a spiritual, mental and physical guidance in this crazy world! I’ve fixed 90% of my problems and I’m still working hard to achieve my 100%. Perseverance, faith and love are the main ingredients for me to reinforce my daily practice. It has become part of my life and I’m so grateful to have the chance to meet such a wonderful and professional person that really involve himself in his job with passion and dedication. I strongly recommend to each of you to not wait to start your Atharvanic Kriya journey now, and enjoying this amazing experience becoming a new better person.

I had long been looking for the path of Kriya Yoga. it came into my life at a time when I had given up looking for it because I thought I had to wait any longer. Instead, life allowed me to meet Lenish. I immediately felt that from that moment he would have guided me for a long time. We worked together for 3 weeks, weeks of intense work, Lenish gave me a lot, taught a lot. Atharvanic Kriya Yoga is an ancient technique, taught by the wisdom of Indian gurus such as Lenish, to which it was in turn transmitted by its Guru to India. The practice that Lenish transmits, the necessary treatments to which the body is subjected, are extremely powerful and help body-mind-spirit to find balance, to find the way home ... which is nowhere outside us, but how wisdom teaches us is really within each of us. I know that my journey with him will last a long time ... it is a spiritual, healing journey that lasts a lifetime.

"when the student is ready. the teacher will appear" - Tao Te Ching After a few years of meditating and trying to find answers on my spiritual journey, I set out to find a yoga teacher. Initially my intention was to find a teacher that does 1 on 1 sessions to better my health. Just by chance, my spiritual path has guided me to Lenish John and I'm very thankful to be training under him. He has been teaching me a style of Yoga totally unknown to me, however I believe it is the perfect one for me right after our 1st session. Lenish is not just a Yoga teacher but a healer, spiritual teacher and a wonderful soul. He has shed a new light on my path has opened up so many possibilities for me. Gave me new goals and understandings that I would have never known about if I was on my own. For those who seek better health and spiritual life, I highly recommend you to come see Lenish.

I began my journey reconnecting my mind to my body and soul, through Kriya yoga a month ago. When the road has been tortuous and challenging Lenish was there to guide me through it and to offer lots of encouragement. When I've reached important stepping stones and had good results, Lenish was equally there to celebrate those moments with me. I feel very blessed for this opportunity and for having started this life-giving practice.

With Lenish's sage like teaching he transports me to another level of health, vitality and clarity. Pranayama to me is the missing ingredient to my wellbeing and is the fountain of youth.

I first went to Lenish with a sore back when I was not even able to lift my head without hurting. Not only did he fix me in 3 days, I only needed to have 1 more follow up treatment and the back ache never came back. So whenever I have an issue with anything other than a contagious disease, infection or a broken bone, Lenish John is the first person I’ll go to. He gave me so much insight into how my body works and what is not working right. Things that I never even noticed before. I would recommend Lenish to anyone in a blink of an eye.

Because I'm a very spiritual person I'm interested in the traditional type of yoga. For self-realization and gaining perception beyond the limited self. As most westernized yoga is just focusing on the health and fitness side, it is difficult to find a teacher for what I was looking for. Lenish has the knowledge and understanding about the real yogic teachings not just from books and speech, through many years practice and teaching, he can also back it up by own experience. If you aren't a spiritual or religious person. He is able to explain in a more rational and scientific way, why and in which way the different practices are beneficial for health and wellbeing. I especially liked the fact, that he teaches very personalized and can really focus on your problems and sticking points.

I have been on the spiritual journey for a while now. I really didn’t have a guidance from anyone, until I met Lenish. I was in a lot of physical pain throughout my cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine and both legs. Lenish uses a holistic healing approach which is call Atharvanic Kriya Yoga to heal the body. He knew exactly how to help me; he has prepared a practice to suit my body’s requirement to balance out the energies and which has assisted with my pain. Lenish is spot on the “energy imbalances of the mind gradually reflect on the bodily functions which is the primary cause of all unhealthiness”. Doing Kriya yoga with Lenish on the first day, I felt and experienced the energy of healing throughout my body. He teaches Kriya yoga breathing the right and safe way. After 5 consecutive days practicing Kriya yoga one on one, I was given a program for my daily practice. I have felt a huge body energy transformation. My body and mind felt different, what an amazing experience, especially the medicinal steaming. Lenish is a kind spiritual Kriya yoga teacher and a great healer with a lot of knowledge beyond the physical. I am grateful to have found such a gifted being to help me with my physical pain and my spiritual journey. So would recommend anyone suffering from physical pain not to hesitate to see Lenish. You will be astonished with the magical experience you will go through.

Always wanted to locate and learn from a true, genuine and authentic yoga master. Lenish feels like the real deal. He is articulate and very knowledgeable and most of all humble with his time and devotion to the people around him. I look forward to working with Lenish and continue on this wonderful journey of life.

3 years back I had my hysterectomy, after a few months I noticed I was getting stressed out for simple things rather quickly. These instances occurred for a few months, yet I hadn't realised what was really happening to me. I attended multiple therapies and I was on anti-depressants for a couple of months but nothing really worked out for me. After a few months my father passed away and this circumstance further exhausted me and heightened my already unfortunate dilemma. I began to progressively experience multiple panic attacks and my health continued to deteriorate at a quicker level. Doctors concluded that my condition was an early sign of menopause. But thankfully through one of my friend's I was acquainted with Mr. Lenish John whom I found out was an Atharvanic Kriya yoga practitioner. The experiences I had with these practices were wonderful and highly beneficial. I went for 11 days healing, treatments and yoga practices. I used to practice yoga in group sessions for the past 3 years but as per my experience I really found this One on One Yoga healing beneficial because I got a deep understanding about various matters. For example, the correct breathing techniques as per scientifically proven methods. On my first day of practice itself I found these methods that were introduced, were impacting me positively in various ways such as introducing quite a lot of change in my mental state (a drastic reduction in panic attacks etc). After 3 days of this treatment I felt more confident and my self-esteem level had drastically increased due to the outstanding results that this treatment had on me. Although, the most important aspect which I attained from this practice is my energy level and concentration levels had heightened. Due to Lenish’s treatments and teachings, I can now work my way around issues that would impact me before I undertook in this treatment. The most important outcome from this practice is the practical learning of finding the spirituality in oneself and to do so, it requires strong determination and commitment. Although the process is vigorous, the achievement is beyond expectations. Thank you once again to Lenish for showing me these great techniques.

Myself is Amitha , lives in Bendigo, moved to Australia five years ago from India. I had many issues which was affecting my physical and mental health. I tried to treat it with Allopathy and Ayurveda medicine here and in india. It was affecting my personal life as well as my profession. I even had a perception that it could not be treated completely and I will not be able to do a job which needs sitting for long time because of the pain that I am going through every day. I met Lenish around four years ago through my husband Roopesh Babu who was a friend of him. And I came to know Lenish is treating people with Yoga techniquies and aroma therapy. Lenish was even willing to come to my place give me treatment as I could not leave home. I received Kriya Yoga from Lenish firstly for seven days. It was my first ever spiritual experience and I consider Lenish as my GURU because he showed me the path to light. The way of treatment is customised as needs of different personnel varies. I required a lot of exercises on top of traditional Yoga practices, as my body was very week especially my legs. All the injuries happened around my hip reduced blood supply to my legs. Lenish also explains the reasons/cause of an issue which make more sense and it helps in the treatment. The essence of Yoga is to join the three elements, mind, body and spirit. Treatment starts with the Yoga Asana then breathing exercise is the main part of the treatment, which follows Aroma Therapy, which is followed by steaming which removes all the inflammation in the body. Asanas help in the coordination of body parts with the brain function, breathing helps in increasing lung capacity and circulation. All these concept itself was sensible to me and seven days treatment taken me to another world with no pain. I thank Lenish from the bottom of my heart for leading me to a better life. Practising Yoga everyday is now is an inevitable part of my life now for the last three years. I can also tell people that Lenish can only show you a path, walking through that is your responsibility. Because, you eat and contaminate your body, you worry and contaminate your mind, it happens every single day and you need a cleaning procedure everyday too. ‘ Keep aside an hour a day for you which is your real saving for the rest of your life for leading a better life. I wish all the best to Lenish

I am incredibly grateful to spend some time with Lenish practicing Kriya yoga under his guidance. Such a good human being very humble, ancient knowledge with wisdom. I have done a five day practice of Kriya Yoga under the guidance of Lenish it was truly a wonderful experience. The most important thing Lenish gave me was the tools to create health in myself by yoking ourselves, Ourselves being all of us not just our physical body and I have realized that Yoga is not just a physical exercise. Lenish guided me and taught me to connect with my inner feelings, with our thoughts and I am enjoying my practice everyday. Thank you Lenish and Namaste!
