Yoga is a spiritual practice and way of life. Yoga is a Sanskrit word which means to “unite” or “yoke”. There are many different paths of yoga. The physical aspect of practice, “hatha yoga” is just a small part of what yoga is. Yoga helps to develop physical flexibility, strength, balance of hormones and strengthening of nervous system. Gaining a deeper understanding of yoga and ability to see the ‘whole picture’ is most important to developing a practice with integrity. The ancient teachings of yoga in their undiluted form remain fresh and relevant today, helping us to find peace and to elevate our consciousness in challenging times. In addition to the many physical benefits, Yoga practices help to:
- Provide an experience of “oneness” and work deeply to reveal where we are resisting the truth.
- Free the life force within, increase level of prana and remove limitations in the body and mind, setting preconditions for healing to take place.
- Clear and focus the mind, allowing us to live to our full potential.
- Create a sense of balance and stability, physically and mentally, so that increased spiritual awareness is possible.

Peace of mind is happiness.
Yoga shows the way.”

“No matter that I have not expressed it yet,
it is in me. All knowledge is in me,
all power, and all freedom.”
~Swami Vivekananda
“If we meet no gods, it is because we harbour none.”

“The whole teaching is an unfolding.
Just as the artist makes you see the beauty
in something you take as commonplace,
so the teacher makes you see yourself.”
~Swami Dayananda Saraswati
