WHO WE ARE
The Intention
Creating experiences rooted in the principals of Yoga that support an individual’s process in healing and self-discovery.
Encouraging accessibility of Yoga through the principals and methodologies of the Viniyoga tradition.
Being a resource for anyone seeking to move through life with greater ease and understanding of one’s True Self.
Yoga has many paths. ‘The Heart of Yoga’ by T.K.V. Desikachar is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the greater context of Yoga. T.K.V. Desikachar lived and studied Yoga with his father, Śri Krishnamacharya, for nearly thirty years of his adult life until his father’s passing in 1989. After many more decades of teaching, Mr. Desikachar passed in 2016 and yet the extraordinary devotion they shared for Yoga still blooms today through the careful transmission of their teachings. Often referred to as viniyoga—meaning “special application”—the teachings are founded on the principal that Yoga is to be applied according to the individual needs of the student.
