George Johnston graduated from Yale University in 1956, where he majored in philosophy hoping to find truth. Then in 1962, he began to practice meditation and read the spiritual writings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Through attunement with this great being and practicing his teachings, he found what he was seeking and more. He found a new way of living that leads to better health, inner contentment and spiritual fulfillment. He began to teach hatha yoga postures, lead meditations and teach the sacred science of yoga, which he has done for over 50 years.
