Spanda® Yoga is no "brand name" yoga at all! Rather, it is an approach to the study of yoga that values movement in its broadest context. From the esoteric theory of spanda vibration, to the study of the movements of the mind, to using physical movement as a way to gain insight into deeply held beliefs and life issues, from moving the body for fitness and recovery, to movement for the shear joy of it, Spanda® offers the timeless teachings of traditional Raja Yoga within a context that is personally meaningful to every individual. While there is a great body of literature discussing this most profound Sanskrit word, our use of the term spanda emphasizes personal connection to what matters most in one's own life. Yoga practice that relies on ancient formal methods in combination with attentive spontaneous responsiveness to the rich currents of sensation and feeling, give rise to deep and personal insight. Revelation of universal, unifying, natural principles with roots in every major physically-embodied spiritual path is an essential aspect of our work. The transformative power of embodied self-expression through the archetypal forms of yoga offers every individual a systematic yet deeply personal path to true Self-understanding and eventual freedom. Our approach is expressed in three inter-related areas: 1. YOGA: Traditional Raja Yoga.
