Yoga is a spiritual science. It is a tool for our self-transformation and discovery. Through the practice of yoga we come to know ourselves and our potential. From that self-knowing we begin to live our lives differently. 
​
At the moment, the physical side of yoga has taken prominence through popular culture and media. It's true depth and usefulness as a tool of self-discovery is largely untapped by the majority. That seems to me to be a great loss for us, not appreciating the real power of yoga to transform our lives in every way. 
It is with this awareness in mind that I began to facilitate this class - Svadhyaya. The word svadhyaya is a Sanskrit one meaning "self-study". It is imbedded deep within the practice of yoga according to the sage Patanjali.

​There are many layers of meaning to this practice. On one level it means the study of the philosophy and practices of yoga. It is the exploration of yoga as a science - just as one would study any other subject. On another level it is the study of oneself. We begin to learn about our true nature through careful observation and analysis. 

This class encompasses both of these aspects to broaden our horizons in the practice yoga. I developed this class to serve the needs of those who would like to go deeper into their practice. It will help us to understand the origin and purpose of yoga. It also delves into the mystical philosophy of yoga: exploring ideas of Kundalini, subtle energy, and life-purpose.
