Yoga means “union” or “to yolke”, and specifically means union with the flow of divinity within each of us. It’s a spiritual practice with the ultimate goal of Liberation: meaning freedom from the identifications of the mind and direct connection with the pure consciousness that resides underneath our separate sense of self. No person or institution owns Yoga - there are as many yogas as there are practitioners. We find our balance by honoring the sacred texts and teachings of Yoga while also understanding that each of us is a unique, limited expression of the divine walking our individuals paths towards Connection.
Yoga teaches us that our True Nature as humans is joy and freedom - they’re just buried underneath all our shit. As souls on our journeys we must experience the darkness that blocks the light. The longer we run from the pain, the deeper our light gets buried. As we practice yoga and other evolutionary modalities we confront, process and remove the energetic blockages that keep us from a connection to our True Nature.
Consciousness is unfolding within us and guiding us to our full potential. Our suffering is the catalyst for our journey. We grow through honesty, effort, and surrender. And then we transform.
