Millionaire Yoga

Did you know that Dr. Pillai has created an online home-study course called Millionaire Yoga? The program includes meditation techniques for practicing yoga on the mind to help with raising your level of consciousness. This can allow for a new reality to manifest in your life.

“It’s crazy to imagine things happening so fast, but that’s just what happened. Following the first Millionaire Yoga initiation from Dr. Pillai, everything changed: my focus, my energy, and my outlook on life. My purpose and my ability to make money shifted too! Since then, I’ve attracted more and more opportunities to make money and be involved in projects that resonate with me AND have the potential to become very successful! I’d recommend this program to anyone. Even if you already make enough money – this will take you to another level.” – Pete Craig
