HISTORY 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

"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.
