“Although my program uses the word yoga in its name, this is not the yoga we know from Western health clubs and fitness studios: which, to quote the wise words of another guru, "took a practice that is about the spirit and the heart, and made it about the butt." The yogic and meditative practices of my tradition encompass every limb of yoga - not just the physical aspect but also the emotional, cognitive and interpersonal aspects. The yoga I teach is a therapeutic yoga, a practice of living life - not merely a way to improve your posture and physical flexibility.” — Ishan Shivanand
