What is Sattva Yoga?

Sattva means purity in Sanskrit.  Sattva Yoga is a holistic, dynamic, all inclusive, expansive and ever-evolving practice that combines asana, pranayama, meditation, kriya and wisdom. The intention for Sattva Yoga is to give you a journey beyond the time bound self/ego and enter the space of transcendence. Each class is specially woven together through kriya, hatha, kundalini, etc to allow for the individual to create a pure, divine experience for oneself. Sattva Yoga inspires students to experience freedom, radical aliveness and offers students more than just a physical practice, it is an invitation to the Self.

 

Sattva Yoga is about going beyond the body/mind centered consciousness, the mundane ways of being and journeying into the most authentic Self. We aspire to connect to the divine, practice like master's, rise above a life driven by our emotions and truly become a master of one's own energy. Sattva Yoga is non-competitive. We practice self-compassion, non-judgement, and ease while finding our own edge and breathe. The desire is to allow your Sattva Journey to be of transformation and freedom.
