Approach to Yoga |

Spanda®
Yoga is no "brand name" yoga at all! Rather, it
is an approach to the study of yoga that values movement in
its broadest context. From the esoteric theory of spanda vibration,
to the study of the movements of the mind, to using physical
movement as a way to gain insight into deeply held beliefs
and life issues, from moving the body for fitness and recovery,
to movement for the shear joy of it, Spanda® offers the
timeless teachings of traditional Raja Yoga within a context
that is personally meaningful to every individual. |

While
there is a great body of literature discussing this most profound
Sanskrit word, our use of the term spanda emphasizes personal
connection to what matters most in one's own life. Yoga practice
that relies on ancient formal methods in combination with
attentive spontaneous responsiveness to the rich currents
of sensation and feeling, give rise to deep and personal insight.
Revelation of universal, unifying, natural principles with
roots in every major physically-embodied spiritual path is
an essential aspect of our work. The transformative power
of embodied self-expression through the archetypal forms of
yoga offers every individual a systematic yet deeply personal
path to true Self-understanding and eventual freedom. |
