Yoga for Body Mind Soul

Swami Chidanand

Swami Chidanand (Maria) is a senior disciple of an authentic guru and yoga master from India. For more than two decades her life has been dedicated to the practice and teachings of the science of yoga. In 2010 she was initiated into the holy order of Sannyasa, and she's been entrusted with the mission to disseminate the ancient teachings in order to help raise the awareness of health, living standards, and spirituality. Her life has been one of deep contemplation and inquiry into the mind and finer aspects of existence. From personal experience her foundation allows her to have a broader understanding of the human condition, and the reality of the material and spiritual suffering that exists in the world today.

Yoga is a science of living. It is not just an exercise regime in a classroom but a spiritual, mental, physical science that approaches the individual as a whole. Unfortunately the term has been adulterated and watered-down over the decades and converted into a multi-billion dollar industry. Yoga is a science of inner discovery, and there is no quick fix or fast route when it comes to the spiritual path. It is a process that requires continuous effort and supportive guidance. Without proper instruction, one may find themselves lost and confused while attempting to overcome great challenges. Yoga is universal and for anyone regardless of race or religion, and it can certainly make one more devoted to their religion of choice. Sadly, religions tend to divide, while the purpose of Yoga, which predates religions, is union with God. It is our God given right to know who we are and to understand how to balance the material spiritual world and deepen our connection to God and Natural Laws. May we all come to this realization, and experience the peace that passes all understanding.

Private instruction and group classes are available by appointment, as well as satsang, kirtan, book reading discourse and workshops. Whether a beginner or years in the making, we are all somewhere and continue to move towards our destination. Feel free to send a message through the Contact page. Thank you for visiting.
