Yoga originated in the subcontinent of India, and has evolved, taking many different forms, over thousands of years. It continues to evolve to this day, developing new emphasis and form as it becomes more and more integrated into the West.

The different 'types' of yoga that we encounter today are simply different styles or approaches to the same underlying principle:- The principle of bringing together, of integrating and of joining our body, our mind and our heart.

Each person who practices Yoga is drawn to it for their own reasons, and it is important to find an approach or style that suits you.

"Your yoga begins when you leave the classroom.
It's how you relate to people and how you relate to the world.
Your yoga is the giving and receiving.
It's the wellness between inner and outer worlds.
Your yoga is living the purpose of your life.
Your yoga is to spread peace, one person at a time."

The light and love in me
bows to light and love in you.

Om
Shanti. Shanti. Shanti.
