What We Believe
YOGA
Yoga is an ancient science that uses the body and breath to penetrate the mind and liberate us from suffering. Yoga is the path to enlightenment – Moksha.
LIBERATION
While there are many different authentic paths of Hatha yoga, we believe that they merge into ONE essential teaching that uses the body and the breath to liberate ourselves from suffering.
SERVICE
You must also have a true desire to serve others in order to communicate to your students the true essence of yoga.
