LAKE TAHOE YOGA

This is a space in which practice results in change; effort encourages growth and you can reveal your Self. We practice more than poses. We apply Asana (posturing) as a means for increasing strength and mobility which will allow for direction and control of body. Breathing is intentionally and effort fully moved in ways that stir up that which has become stagnant, rigid or locked. We attempt the practices of Hatha Yoga to understand the many layers of self (koshas). We observe our habits and remove limitations (Kleshas). Every practice is created with the intention of overcoming the barriers that prevent Samadhi (integration).

We are guided by the words of Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra and the explanations within the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. We learn from the sadhu (acestics) who came before us. Yoga is both the means and the end; it is a practice and the goal. You must be consistent, dedicated and devoted. Show up, learn, grow, change and reveal the gem that exists within you; the tiny piece of the universe that connects you to all things: Jivatma. Practice as yourself and you will discover your Self.
