Yogini Ju

                                

                                       I am a Jnani yogini.
 
                                  Jnana means knowledge or wisdom. Jnani means self realised.
                                                 Jnana yoga is the hardest path of yoga.
 
 
                                     

 

Yogini Ju is a Jnani yogini, working within the path of Jnana Yoga — the yoga of knowledge and self-realisation. Jnana means wisdom; Jnani refers to one who seeks direct understanding of truth through inner awareness. This path is considered one of the most demanding yogic disciplines, as it requires sustained self-inquiry, discipline, and integration into daily life.

Yoga, for Yogini Ju, is not simply a practice but a way of living. She brings her knowledge into classes, workshops, and satsangs, supporting students mentally, spiritually, and physically. Her intention is to offer practical tools for living a healthy, balanced life through asana, meditation, and pranayama — practices that are accessible, sustainable, and adaptable for regular use.Many people are discouraged from yoga by the misconception that it is about forcing the body into extreme or contortionist postures. Historically, such advanced asana were performed by sages who had spent many years cultivating the mind, body, and spirit together. These postures arose from deep internal development, not from physical ambition alone, and they served purposes far beyond flexibility.

For this reason, Yogini Ju’s classes are deliberately not driven toward extreme practice unless and until the individual is genuinely ready on all levels. Her teaching is designed to serve the majority rather than the minority. While there are thousands of asana, traditional teachings recognise that a core group of postures is sufficient to maintain health, clarity, and balance of mind, body, and spirit. Her classes are built around these foundations.

Yoga is a powerful and universal system, not limited by culture, race, or background. When practised correctly, it supports personal development that extends beyond the individual — contributing to a more conscious, balanced, and humane world. Although aspects of yogic knowledge have been lost, hidden, or fragmented over time, there is a growing collective return to its deeper purpose and relevance.


Yogini Ju has been teaching for over ten years. She has delivered two Yoga and Meditation courses at Sutton College of Further Education (2016), alongside weekly asana classes incorporating detailed yogic philosophy, including work with mental health groups and mixed-ability students. She has taught for GLL Leisure across multiple UK locations and 

currently teaches at The River Club, Worcester Park, as well as with OurParks.org, alongside private one-to-one sessions.


She organises and leads small workshops and retreats in the UK and internationally. In 2018, she completed MCKS Pranic Healing training. Alongside yoga, she is a strong swimmer and free diver, with a deep respect for nature, fresh-air living, and travel as a means of continued learning. She supports elephant conservation projects in Thailand and India, studies ancient civilisations, and explores mountainous terrain as part of her personal practice.

Yogini Ju is also a travel writer and presents documentaries on yoga, consciousness, and the nature of the mind.
