What is Transformational Yoga?

Transformational Yoga is based on the premise that every individual harbors in the core of their being, the capacity to experience pure consciousness, characteristics of which are good health, emotional balance, mental and spiritual clarity. Transformational Yoga is an integral system, developed by Swami Vidyanand in India, that activates inner resources which allow you to live in a state of well-being and balance thus lightening the pressures of modern living. Yoga is not only asana, but it is an attitude, an awareness of your interaction with life and should give you the ability to handle any challenges that life presents. While Transformational yoga uses hatha yogic postures in order to stretch and streangthen the physical body, pranayama breathing techniques, mantra chanting, and meditation are also an essential part of a complete yoga system that purifies and energize the chakras. As a result, the effects of this practice are carried over into your everyday life bringing equilibrium and serenity to the physical body, emotions, mind, and soul.
