Straight From The Source

Our Philosophy

Yoga as union, not just posture.

Soul Light Yoga is one of the only schools that offers a comprehensive and deep approach to the yogic teachings. Our teachings come from a rich and deep oral tradition from Tantric and Yog-Vedantic Himalayan heritage — Kundalini and Kriya techniques realized by yogis in the Himalayas and beyond for millennia.

This is the holistic approach to yoga: embracing every aspect of practice that brings one into yoga, or union of the individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness. As practitioners we value evolution above all — remaining open-minded and an eternal student of the infinite knowledge of the Universe. When you think you know it all, you do not know anything at all.
