Yoga is various techniques of calming the mind. This simple definition taken from the Yōga Vāsīshta – one of the oldest surviving texts on Yōga – describes this ancient Indian tradition in its purest form.
Yoga Practice
Yoga is not a performance. It’s a return. A return to steadiness, to simplicity, to the rhythm of breath and being. Rooted in the traditional teachings of the Vedic sages, our practice methodology honours the classical path—where asana is preparation, not the peak, and the goal is clarity, not contortion.
Whether you’re stepping into a morning sadhana or closing your laptop between meetings, the practice remains the same: present, embodied, and intentional.
