Michael 'Laxmivan'

Michael began his yoga journey at the age of 20 when he left his profession as a studio musician and joined a bhakti Yoga Monastery. For the next 10 years he travelled Australia, New Zealand and India as a celibate monk, daily studying the traditional yogic canons and engaging in strict daily yogic sadhana. Then after another 6 years as a traditional Vedic (Hindu) priest, he took an interest in the more physical aspects of yoga. He successfully completed a 3-year diploma course with Satyananda Yoga before finally finding his passion with Power Vinyasa. Since then he’s been certified by Baron Baptiste, became certified with Anti Gravity level 2, founded one of Australia’s most successful regional yoga studios, and has helped pioneer, develop and facilitate many teacher training programs here in Australia. As a teacher trainer, Michael brings with him great integrity and depth, forged by more than 31 years of strict, yet joyful daily practice. His teaching is full of compassion, humour and authenticity, with a deep respect for tradition, but without being over zealous.

Our stay

Great stay in a little place of paradise.
Beautiful setting, we styed in one of the woooden cabin with a bathroom and a kitchenette just right. There are no lights from the parking lot to the cabins, so, bring a touch. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed all the yoga/meditation classes and workshops they've offered. Food was exelent, highly recommended. Read More

Day Pass

The day pass offers exceptional value. We stayed at the campground next door and walked in very early on a Friday morning. The air was fresh and the energy very calming. Reception was still closed so we walked up to the temple. After listening to the chanting and prayers, we had breakfast. The food was delicious and wholesome. We were welcomed by everyone and people were very friendly.
After breakfast, we walked around the grounds and then went to a workshop. The landscape is beautiful and it was a pleasure to be there.
Lunch was served in a different kitchen area and the food was once again delicious and wholesome. I have decided to book in for the weekend cooking course soon.
We did a Zenthai, shiatsu massage workshop in the afternoon which was very enjoyable also. We learnt so much during our say here. We were unable to stay for the yoga so will make sure we do that next time. I look forward to returning to the Krishna village.
Thank you for having us. Read More
