"Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life..." - Eckhart Tolle

The class felt like an energetic clearing – literally, you can feel the energy in your body shift by the end of the session. Ed has a caring approach to each student’s development, taking time to answer questions about the practice.

I found it at times physically challenging – the movements are not complicated but they require a spirit of courage, and vitality that Ed inspires in you – as he encourages you not to push yourself or strain, but rather to bring your courage to each movement, in whatever way that means. Maybe it’s courageous to slow down, maybe it’s courageous to keep going – in this way Ed inspires you to constantly bring out your best in the practice.

I felt an emotional blockage releasing during my first energy transfer – actually during the transfer itself this wasn’t apparent, it was just a pleasant smooth sensation – but immediately following I became aware of certain emotions coming to the surface that I knew I had been repressing for some time.

Ed radiates a peaceful, loving energy and invites you into his space, to practice yoga together. The whole class is soothing and challenging at the same time – i.e. with a peaceful energy, Ed inspires you to challenge your own limits and explore new frontiers of your own inner truth and inner guidance.

As after any good yoga class, afterwards you feel more relaxed and strengthened at the same time.

I’ve been receiving Oneness Deeksha for a couple of years now, and have found it to be the most powerful transformative tool I’ve experienced. Combining this with Kundalini Yoga, as Ed is now doing, is mind-blowing. I’ve never before realized that physical activity can be such a spiritual experience.

The Kundalini exercises are like meditations and can sometimes seem almost dreamlike. I’ve been soaring through the sky on powerful wings and feeling the sun warm against my brow – all this in a dark winter’s night in Huddersfield! Add in the Yoga Nidra, and other meditations, and you are talking about a remarkable set of practices for personal transformation. On top of which, Ed can provide you with personalised exercises to help to integrate the experience into your life. As far as I know, what he is doing here is unique. If you are within travelling distance of Huddersfield, I urge you to come along and try it!

I can highly recommend Ed's classes that happen here in Huddersfield. I was new to yoga and wanted to find a practice of body work that worked in conjunction with my 'spiritual' side and develop the two together. These classes do just that. They marry your body energies to the wider You and Universe in a very friendly, relaxed way. I really can't speak highly enough of them. It's not yoga as you may know it!

My experiences of the yoga, meditations and the Oneness Deeksha has been very simply “an Awakening”. I find the classes to be relaxed and friendly and Ed's strength, wisdom and unconditional love, means that he can support you through any process or change that begins to occur, as you find the path back to the truth of who you are. I have found the yoga to be wonderfully liberating. I had not stretched or moved my body in years, and was symbolised by the fact my life has felt very stagnant for a long time.

Through going to the classes and doing the practices I have come to the realisation that I had been living in a bubble, a cocoon – as I went to work and did the normal, mundane everyday things. In fact it has been extraordinarily powerful in a very short space of time. Within six weeks of doing the practices I have found my energy is shifting and my life is starting to move forward. My eating habits have changed. I feel more positive and I have more energy, I feel more alert and more vibrant. I am starting to have zest for life again, something which has been missing for a long time.

The exercises are incredibly simple yet I am finding powerfully transformative. I am connecting to the flow of life again, and as I expand I am beginning to wake up and remember who I am.

The meditations and energy transfers in the second part of the class have also been particularly powerful for me. Often my experiences are very visual. I have seen myself as a ball of light... of flashing electricity as it sparks and crackles itself into existence. One experience I had was that of a herd of unicorns running through my entire body and I was filled with their radiant light. In one particular class we concentrated on opening the heart. I had not realised how much pain I had been carrying so to fully experience that pain and let it go again was life transforming!

Through doing the practices and opening to the energy I fill my body with a sense of peace and love that I find hard to describe. I think just to drop into the depths of myself, to begin to fall into that space within, to understand and experience that space as limitless, that having danced my life dramas of fear and control, to now know there is nothing to find, nothing to search for, no bridge to cross – just an acceptance that all there is, is love, is my experience of truly connecting with God.

This awakening of energy seeps into every molecule of my body, changing my physicality and consciousness and as I allow myself to fall deeper into that space within, I open my eyes to the beauty in the world and I see it everywhere. I see the trees and flowers vibrating and I understand that they are truth and they are beauty. I see it in the eyes of every living thing whether it’s an animal, a person, young, old, frail, angry, sad.

It is true there are days when it is harder to see it than others but at this point on my path I know that it is always there! In summary, my experiences of the class have been about connecting back to the truth of who I am and in doing so experiencing a dissolving of the ego and fear and experiencing a state of connectedness and oneness to all living things.
