The practice of Yoga makes the body strong and flexible and it also improves the bodily functions of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and hormonal systems.
Yoga brings about emotional stability and clarity of mind. The ultimate aim is one of self-development, liberation and self-realization.
At Santhi Yoga School we teach Hatha Yoga from the Sivananda Tradition with the focus of bringing students into peace of mind and ultimately moving towards spiritual enlightenment and we call it Sajee Yoga. In meditation through the practice of asanas we provide the knowledge of unity consciousness and teachings on the Vedanta Philosophy (Non-dual Philosophy). Practicing yoga this way brings awareness and spiritual insight into yoga and the meaning of life.
