Transform Self and Life

As the lotus grows from the earth,

through the water,

opening into the light,

so we transform ourselves form our earthly bodies, through our fluid

emotions and minds,

into Light and Spirit.

YOGA SATTA is dedicated to helping each unique person    in her or his personal transformation of

body, mind, and soul,

through the practices and teachings of Yoga.

 

Drawing on the rich traditions of Yoga

we explore the practices and principles

of the living and experiential science of self-study,

that of Yoga, with the lofty goal of helping human beings

 to become aware of their deepest nature.

 

We encompass from the different paths of yoga, such as Raja, hatha, Tantra, karma, jnana, and bhakti.

Raja Yoga has eight steps, the first four of which are external practices of hatha yoga—yamas, niyamas, asana, and pranayama—to refine our behaviour, attitudes, and emotions, and to perfect the body, senses, and the breath.

Then we are ready for the four internal practices of Raja Yoga— pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and Samadhi– to understand and control the senses and the mind, to focus in  one-pointed concentration, to continue in focused meditation, and to experience the superconscious state of Self/Atman and Spirit/Brahman.

 

YOGA SATTA means YOGA, union/connection, with SAT, the Ultimate Reality, Supreme Consciousness, Truth, Spirit.

Satta, similar to Sattvic, refers to the manifest quality of peace, joy, harmony, clarity, lucidity, purity and steadiness.
