Our Founders
Leonard and Jenness Perlmutter (Ram Lev & Devi) have been students of Yoga Science and Philosophy since 1975, and are direct disciples of modern medical pioneer Swami Rama. In 1996, they founded The American Meditation Institute to provide the best of the ancient Himalayan wisdom tradition and modern medical principles, presented through a contemporary, practical lens. Shortly thereafter, they created the ”Transformation” journal and the award-winning, comprehensive book, “The Heart and Science of Yoga®.” Their signature curriculum, the “AMI Foundation Course for Enlightenment,” serves the general public and also offers 18 Continuing Medical Education Credits for Physicians, PAs and NPs. To this day, Leonard and Jenness continue to teach authentic Yoga Science as Holistic Mind/Body/Spirit Medicine––guiding dedicated students on life’s greatest journey, the Journey to Enlightenment.
