it’s how you do it

The practice of Yoga will allow you to transcend limitations in all parts of life. From experiencing a heart attack in my youth and living daily with rheumatoid arthritis, Yoga has provided me the tools needed to change my life. Join me on the journey towards self-realization and optimal health.

The Yoga Youth Movement programs are aimed at bringing the teachings of Hatha and Raja Yoga to teens in the NYC area. In our educational programs we will introduce the concepts of the 8-limbs of Yoga, The Yoga Sutras, The Bhagavad-Gita, Meditation, & the Seven Laws of Yoga while developing a physical practice and understanding basic human body anatomy. Each YYM session begins with a Hatha Yoga class, the practice of postures, followed by a Raja Yoga session in which concepts listed above will be introduced in a nondenominational manner.

The NYC Yoga Sports Club is an organization created to bring awareness to yoga through education, asana workshops, and events. The goal of the NYYSC is to attract more youth and adults to the health benefits of yoga. By showcasing the athletic aspect of yoga, competitions are a way to interest people in yoga who might be turned off by the esoteric or spiritual aspects of yoga.
