| Yoga means "union"
in Sanskrit, the classical language of India. According to the
yogis, true happiness, liberation and enlightenment comes from
union with the divine consciousness known as Brahman, or with
Atman, the transcendent Self. The various yoga practices are
a methodology for reaching that goal.
In hatha yoga, for example, postures and breathing exercises
help purify the mind, body and spirit so the yogi can attain
union. The style of hatha yoga practiced and taught at our
studio is in the Iyengar tradition.
