About Awaken
At Awaken, wisdom is not just knowledge it is a living, breathing way of being. Our mission is to guide you beyond surface practices into the depths of Yogic philosophy, contemplative reflection, and embodied insight that cultivate true understanding.
Through our Wisdom School, you’ll explore teachings that have shaped spiritual seekers for millennia, brought into dialogue with your life today. From the Yoga Sutras and Chakras to the art of Yoga Nidra and mindful presence, each course offers tools for profound clarity, balance, and inner freedom.
Whether you join us virtually from anywhere in the world or immerse yourself in the sacred energy of Bali, you will be held within a community that honors growth, inquiry, and authenticity. Here, wisdom is shared, practiced, and lived helping you navigate life’s complexities with grace and courage.
Beyond study, we offer personalized coaching and wellness consultancy to help you integrate wisdom into your daily choices and relationships, so your journey radiates outward, touching your world with deeper meaning.
Awaken invites you to remember the wisdom within and cultivate a life aligned with your highest truth.
