Himalayan School Of Traditional Yoga
Yoga is the science of staying liberated, through conscious connection with oneself,
maintaining sensitivity, fluidity and flexibility
Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga (HSTY) is dedicated to propagating traditional yoga, i.e. the essence of yoga as per the original teachings codified in the scriptures by Maharishi Patanjali. Set up under the inspiration and guidance of Mohanji, HSTY’s mission is to promote a culture of yoga and make it accessible to all of mankind, beyond boundaries of country, religion, gender, class and wealth.
Why Himalayan School Of Traditional Yoga ?
At its core, traditional yoga is all about simplicity and being natural. A yogi is natural, i.e. lives in a state in which the body, mind and soul are in unison. This leads to health and equanimity, a state in which one is happy and without anxieties, anger or stress. When practicing yoga, a sincere yoga practitioner gets fully in tune with their body and its subtle processes, thus quieting the mind.
We do not look at yoga as exercise, but rather as a set of practices that help take one back to their original state. We look at yoga as a means of increasing the awareness of one’s body and of aligning the system to allow the expansion of consciousness. In short, HSTY is focused on producing true yogis. HSTY’s classes are characterised by strict adherence to the core principles of Traditional Yoga, rather than paying attention to the element of fitness or physical aspect. The focus of these practices is on awareness rather than activity; seeking within rather than seeking out
