Shraddha
All Life is Yoga – Sri Aurobindo
The Tradition
This teaching tradition is strongly rooted in the classical teachings of Yoga represented by Yoga masters T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar.
We teach Yoga as it was understood by the Yogis of the past, as a spiritual, energetic, and holistic practice that is connected to the sacred texts of the Vedas and the Rishis of the past, yet we ‘translate’ the knowledge so that modern day practitioners can understand and apply it.
In this tradition all the different tools of Yoga are used to support a person’s journey.
Our most important tools include Asanas (Postures), Pranayama (Breathing Techniques), Mantras and Vedic Chanting, Bhavana (Visualization), Mudras (Seals), Nyasa (Placements), Ahara (Dietary Suggestions) and Vihara (Lifestyle Suggestions).
