Classical Yoga and Vedanta
We employ the classical yoga methods of:
- Yoga Poses (asanas)
- Meditation (dhyana)
- Breathing Exercises (pranayama)
- Self-inquiry (Vedanta)
- Gurukulam (longer-term lifestyle programs)
Our yoga programs will guide you on a path of union between the body, mind and spirit. Come join us!
Our mission is to promote the time-tested teachings of yoga by working one on one, or in a safe cohesive class setting with our yoga and life coaching clients.
Serve. Love. Give. Purify. Meditate. Realize. Be Good Do Good. Be Kind. Be Compassionate. -Swami Sivananda

What Is Classical Yoga?
1) An ancient system of knowledge based on the Vedas and Yoga scriptures. It is not subject to the creativity of an individual.2) The method of transmission is through a lineage of spiritual teachers (masters/gurus) to students (disciples)- this is called the Gurukula system.
3) It is a complete system. The teachings are not partial; includes body/mind/spirit practices- not only asanas (yoga postures), and includes training in ethics and meditation.
4) It is a discipline and the training is rigorous: it is not a quick fix and takes time. The student needs to be consistent and put in effort.
5) It is universal - not sectarian: the teachings are to benefit all, irrespective of cultural, religious backgrounds and other social conditions.
6) It is selfless - spiritual knowledge can not be sold.
7) The goal is inner peace or Self-realization: i.e. realization of one's highest potentials.
