“The nature of yoga is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the body.”  

Yoga is a lifestyle and approach to positivity which seeks to enlighten the spirit and attune body and mind. True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.

It embodies unity of thoughts and actions; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.

It is an honour and a matter of great pride that United Nations has declared June 21st as "International Yoga Day" and it is celebrated with great zeal all around the world to spread awareness about the importance of yoga in our lives.
