General

Yoga, above all, is an ancient philosophy of connection. As such, the definition of yoga that we prefer to use is: a group of techniques that offers a path to return to the Self. An individual can define the Self as they see fit. People call it truth, peace, balance, God, bliss, the Witness, the Divine, the Soul, pure connection, and many other names.
Yoga also translates to ‘union’ or ‘whole’, so we encourage a holistic practice that includes all the elements of yoga including asana, meditation, mantra, pranayama & philosophy. Check out our YouTube channel (coming soon) for a more in-depth look at the tradition of yoga.
-
We teach a traditional style of yoga that includes many techniques and wisdoms from the schools of Hatha, Raj, Jnana & Karma yoga. This means that our teaching themes are balance, service, focus, learning, and dedication to the practice.

Your Session
-
We strongly advise you to find a calm and quiet space in your home and take measures to avoid interruption.
In regards to clothing, we find loose natural fibres to be best, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable. For any persons who wear a bra, for your comfort, we do not recommend wearing bras that contain underwire.
-
We try our best to cater for all minds and bodies, however, to ensure that we are able to provide you with a full service, please contact us before booking to discuss any injuries or special circumstances.
-
Yes! Your teacher will reach out to you at least two days before your session to discuss your goals and preferences.
If we can’t get you on the phone via call or text, then we’ll send an email, so keep an eye on your inbox as well!
-
While we respect all schools of yoga, our teachers are trained specifically in the Hatha Raj style of yoga. You are more than welcome to request a specific focus or level of intensity, and the session will be tailored based on your requests.
-
If a teacher is coming to your home then you simply need a space big enough and quiet enough to practice in. We recommend at least 45 square feet per person.
The teacher will provide you with a mat and props, as well as any ambience tools you would like such as incense, candles and/or music. You will not need to have a mirror in the practice space - in fact, we recommend not choosing a space that has a mirror as this can be a barrier to turning inward.
-
This depends on a lot of factors, so please reach out to us via the contact form if you are interested in either of these services.
