Purna
means complete in Sanskrit..........
...it
is 'one less' yoga, rather than 'one more'
'Purna' means 'complete' and Purna
Yoga distills and integrates the
vastness of yoga into an invaluable set of tools for transformation and
healing. Reminding us that yoga is far more than a system of exercise,
Purna Yoga offers wisdom and techniques for the union of the body and the
mind with the spirit. Using awareness, precision, and concentration, Purna
Yoga inspires the evolution from our lower nature to our Divine Self.
Purna Yoga is the art of loving yourself by living from the heart.
Purna Yoga practitioners learn
alignment-based asana, pranayama, and Purna
Yoga Meditation (the art of aligning inner energies for transformation),
along with nutrition and yogic philosophy, adapted for our lifestyles
today. Like a tuning fork, Purna Yoga aligns our entire being with the
vibration of truth and the Divine essence within us and all around us.
When we feel lost, sad, confused,
stuck, stiff, or are in pain, our bodies
are telling us that we have lost contact with the most important part of
us, our spirit. Therefore, we must use our breath, actions, thoughts and
feelings to welcome our spirit into our first and most important physical
home, our body. Purna Yoga teaches our mind, body, and emotions how to be
at home with our spirit.
The lineage of Purna Yoga is based
on the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and
The Mother, the Vedas, Patanjali, B.K.S. Iyengar, and the systems of
Ayurvedic, Chinese and Western nutrition, synthesized by the personal
experience of Aadil Palkhivala and Mirra, the founders of Purna Yoga. In a
world where trendy, brand-name yogas are constantly being created, Purna
Yoga is grounded in ancient wisdom. Purna Yoga, with its roots in the past
and its reach into the future, is here to help create the world we have all
dreamed of.
