​Ryan Gary Edmonds

Tutor for this Class

My ultimate passion is sharing ancient teachings in modern ways to help people re-align to joy & wellbeing.

I had a childhood immersed in healing traditions from all over the world and, after graduating in Psychology from UJ (co-majoring in Anthropology, Linguistics and Philosophy), decided to devote my life to the fields of Health, Education and Community Sustainability. 

Working at SADAG (South African Depression & Anxiety Group) for 9 years as a suicide counselor, media spokesman, journalist, and community trainer (Dept. of Social Development) gave me the passion and skills I needed to reach the thousands of people I have to this day. 

While being a practitioner of non-medical Hypnosis, I am also a certified ISHTA and Kundalini Yoga Teacher, having been teaching daily classes since 2009. In 2017 I opened up the ISHTA Yoga School (YTF, IYF) and have since trained dozens of internationally certified students in the ancient system of Hath Yoga, Tantra & Ayurveda. 

Since 2007 I have been featured on countless international media platforms, including Men's Health, Expresso, Top Billing, Al Jazeer, BBC, News24, Hectic9, 5FM, and many more. My main focus in the media has always been education in the field of Mental Health. 

I currently run several courses, both online and in-person, and am thrilled to share powerful and practical tools with students, corporates, families, teens, and anyone who wants to learn how to improve their lives and wellbeing.
