Program Details
SELF-KNOWLEDGE - this is our purpose.
The ultimate goal of Yoga transcends mere health, vitality, energy, flexibility, and emotional balance that everyone already knows and benefits from in practices across numerous schools throughout the country.
The true meaning of Yoga, the final reason it was codified by the Great Masters, is to constitute a path to self-knowledge, which the Orientals call Enlightenment.
We invite everyone, yoga practitioners or not, to participate in our immersion into techniques brought from ashrams in India.
We hold periodic retreats that will be available to volunteers, in addition to meditation and pranayama practices.
