Yoga is not merely for our bodies, but rather Yoga is for our bodies, minds, hearts and souls. Yoga literally means "Union" - union of breath with the body, of the mind with the muscles, and most importantly of the self with the divine. Yoga is not a religon. It does not require you to believe in a certain God or chant certain mantras.
Yoga is an ancient science which leads to health in the body, peace in the mind, joy in the heart, and liberation of the soul.
The International Yoga Festvial explores the eight limbs of Yoga and how they apply to our lives whether we consider ourselves Yoga students or not.
Please join us as we breathe in the sights and wonders of India and meet one another on this path of discovery and awakening.
