Yoga is a way of healing the body, mind and spirit. It is a way of bringing balance into our daily lives. By aligning oneself with our “Highest Truth”, we can open up the natural pathway of healing. The healing that one can experience with the practice of yoga comes from a development of our true-selves (souls). With the practice of yoga, the heart becomes free to open, radiating with a burst of new energy. The light that lives and emanates from the heart is our “True-Self”, the soul.

Most people in the West identify yoga with physical postures (asana). While asana practice can lead you through a solid doorway into the vast lifestyles of yoga, it doesn’t embody the complete practice. Through the practice of yoga, or union with the divine through meditation and mantra, you will manifest a connection with more spiritual practices.

In the philosophy of yoga, it is said that we are not the body alone, but individual souls, higher selves, connected to the divine beings and the Great Divine Creator. We as souls are in direct relationship with the Divine Soul (God, Goddess, Creator, Great Spirit, Universal Energy, Divine Couple… whichever you may prefer to call it).

By practicing yoga, an opening of the heart connects you to the Ultimate, Divine Source of Love. An abundance of Love, beyond one’s wildest dreams, will flow through the practitioner. As a result, all shortcomings, pains, and limitations are overcome.  Yoga liberates us from the possible bondage and suffering of this existence.

Raga yoga, Hatha Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Ayurveda – You can’t have one without the other. By practicing all elements of yoga, we introduce a sense of balance and ease to our lives. Its goal is to attain bliss within our own personal selves. When we combine the practice of breath, movement and awareness, we allow our focus to move on to our higher purpose for being here in this present world, our dharma.

“Humility is essential in our service to the Divine as it is prescribed in our Dharma.”

Namaste,
