KAIVALYA YOGA
About The Style
The purpose of Kaivalya Yoga is to promote the experiential realization of Yoga according to Tradition, as translated into our modern day world.
Kaivalya: ¨Absolute Freedom, Absolute Independence, Absolute Aloneness, Absolute Truth¨
The foremost goal of yoga, according to Sri Patanjali Maharishi.
The essence of who we really are isn`t far away, is not even close, it is simply ever present, like the air we breathe.
And more than the air we breathe: it is the ¨stateless state¨ (Turya) perceived prior to all concepts, judgments and super-impositions of the mind on reality and illusions.
The Inner Wisdom of the Heart & the teachings of yoga have been forgotten or watered down for too long.
The purpose of Kaivalya Yoga is to honor and restore the original foremost reason for Yoga practice: to experience Absolute Freedom.
With a secondary yet conducive second goal: to achieve the best possible health for the body-mind system and for all beings.
