The Classical Yoga of India is a meditative system of relaxing, gentle, slow movements, & held postures. Flexibility & fitness are byproducts of these beautiful, graceful stretches, but not prerequisites. Results often include deep calmness, a focused mind & increased range of motion & alignment. In traditional yoga our focus is on tranquil contemplation & meditation, healing, and energy consciousness.

Our goal is to be empowered to serve, love, give, purify, meditate & Self-realize.
