Lama Surya Das

Our philosophy

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
~Hans Hofmann

Yoga is an art to be experienced, practiced, felt. The mind rests and the wisdom of the body is let out to reveal itself. Healing comes from the synthesis of body and mind in a safe space.
Drawing from many schools and philosophies, beyond dogma and preconceptions we bring the teachings to simplicity depending on the person we are working with.

Our education

We have been very fortunate to study with some of the greatest teachers around the world, over many years.
We believe that a good teacher is someone who has the experience, education, open mindness and deep caring to help the student benefit from techniques (asanas, meditation, pranayama, visualisation) and take them home, thus creating and sustaining a personal practice with contemplation and curiosity.

“The still waters of a lake reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it.” – BKS Iyengar

“Love creates a communion with life. Love expands us, connects us, sweetens us, ennobles us. Love springs up in tender concern, it blossoms into caring action. It makes beauty out of all we touch. In any moment we can step beyond our small self and embrace each other as beloved parts of a whole.”- Jack Kornfield

Summer: A Time for Expansion and Cultivating Emotional Health

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer -Albert Camus

The sun rises quite early now and tries to coax us out of bed earlier than in Spring. The days are much longer, and the increasing warmth persuades us to shed layers of clothing, to wear lighter and brighter-coloured garments. The sun encourages us to stay outdoors and enjoy the lengthening days. In this transition nature offers us an invitation to be more expansive, which leads naturally to a desire to spend more time with others.

In Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the fundamental concept revolves around harmonizing with the natural flow. That's why I structure my YoQi routine based on the changing seasons. Similar to how animals adapt to nature's rhythms, we can also adjust ourselves.

I'm thrilled to introduce my seasonal offerings, inviting you to embrace the vibrant season of summer.

Summer, associated with the element of FIRE, symbolizes the essence of the heart - embodying boundless love, joy and acceptance. In ancient traditions, we focus on elevating our energy to its peak during this time. It's a period of expansive vitality, ideal for opening our hearts and nurturing our spirits.
