About Anthony

Anthony Salerno

I’m here to help you find the way, walk the path, and close the gap between who you are and who you know you could be by living Soul-directed.

Without a living connection to something deeper than physical life, in the absence of an orientation toward something Transcendent, we feel restless, disconnected, and life can feel meaningless.

I learned this early. Days before my 19th birthday, while praying, I received a clear and unmistakable vision: aim up at the Transcendent, follow my Soul, and help others do the same.

For five years I hesitated. I finished my law degree, practiced for two and a half years, and was on track for partnership. On the outside everything looked successful. Inside, the pain of ignoring the call grew heavier until it became unbearable.

In 2000, my wife Dominique and I finally answered. We resigned from our professional careers, sold our house, and put everything into starting a wellbeing centre. That leap became the Australian Yoga Academy, which we built and ran for twenty-one years. We established nine studios across Melbourne and trained nearly a thousand yoga teachers while I taught the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, and related traditions.

Today, I study, practice, and write from my off-grid farm in Phillip Island, Australia, where I grow food and live simply with my wife and son. I guide people to live Soul-directed lives — making body and mind faithful servants, deepening connection, and creating from a place of contribution rather than compulsion. I share my work weekly on Substack and am currently writing The Unconquered Spirit, a book about returning to Source and living as an instrument of the Soul.

I am the author of The Path of Light: Healing & Self-Mastery through the Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita (2023), Yoga Wisdom Contemplation Cards (2022), and Beyond the Emotional Roller Coaster (2007).

If you feel something essential missing, and you’re ready to stop living half-aligned, I’m here to walk with you.
