The word Yoga means ‘to yoke’ or ‘form union with’, & is applicable to all methods & practices that remove the conditioning & misapprehensions that cover up a person’s true Self, to then reveal the ever-present equanimity & joy within.
Being an exact inner-science, based on certain immutable laws of nature, Yoga upholds the spiritual truths found in all sincere faiths.
As it does not belong to any particular race, place or creed, Yoga is available to all to improve their physicality, mental stability & help them navigate a surer passage through life towards Self-realisation.

In the West, we typically cherry-pick the aspects of Yoga we enjoy most, notably yogasanas (physical postures), pranayam (breathwork) & its meditation techniques, but leave aside those parts we deem as unnecessary for living a modern, Western lifestyle. However, to practice Yoga & not live by its principles leaves our sadhana incomplete & the higher stages of meditation out of reach, as the mind remains relatively unchecked.
No doubt, being able to touch your toes & developing a summer body are achievements within themselves, but in reality, are great bonuses to living a calmer, more content & enjoyable life.
Therefore, at Anukala Yoga Community, we adopt an all-encompassing approach towards Yoga, focusing on both its physical & philosophical aspects. So no matter how busy your world is, some practice may be utilised to move towards a more spiritually fulfilled life.
