Through certain practices, directed attention, self study (Svadhyaya) and conscious participation we can improve the quality of our nature.  

 

​

If we develop a greater awareness and understanding of the different layers of our being (Koshas), we can find ways to improve our mental, nervous and emotional states; and our concentration, self knowledge and awareness. 

As a result we may live with deeper spiritual purpose, connection, joy and peace.​

 ​

​​

Just as we tone our physical body and improve mobility, muscle mass, and flexibility through sport or asana (yoga postures), the other qualities of our nature may also be developed, or more easily felt, observed and improved on through study, observation, enquiry, self awareness, concentration and physical practices.

​​

 

More than just poses or aerobics - Yoga offers us a map for navigating the layers of our being and a key to life's terrain, its deep pitfalls and its greatest summits, along with tools to perfect, harmonize, and master our own nature.

​​​​

​

Our yoga practice should refine the many aspects of our being and improve on their current states, or assist in revealing what is hidden within so that we may live more aligned to our true purpose, a spiritual life.​

 ​

 

​Yoga is a guide for life and living, a guide to aid progress from our current state of being to greater self perfection and potential.​​​​
