What is Yoga?
It was realised in ancient times that yoga is a method of practice which brings out the best qualities within the individual, removing the false perception that we are all separate from others, and increasing the awareness of our interconnectedness.

“Because…I love it! It’s fun, a healthy habit, gives me focus, a way of being, and offers a sanctuary from the often hectic world around us….and much, much more! Why not come to class and experience how yoga can enhance your life!”

Artwork
The Sri Yantra is an ancient archetypal geometrical form used as a meditation tool or road map towards liberation.
Here individual self awareness is moved from the everyday level of gross material functioning, through the subtle and causal bodies to the level of conscious awareness, that which underpins everything, your true nature. Then on returning to the material level, the experience of conscious awareness is brought back and integrated into the everyday gross material world.
This is the process of yoga “joining”.

“Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim.
The better your practice, the brighter the flame.”
