About Us
Namaste & welcome to Santosha Yoga Studio. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDE AN AUTHENTIC YOGA EXPERIENCE!
“Santosha” is a Sanskrit word that is divided into two parts: SAN (also known as SAM), means completely or entirely & TOSHA means acceptance, satisfaction & contentment. Together they create a word that means ‘in complete contentment’.
A yogic percept of living, Santosha is the second Niyama (personal ethic) on the eight-limbed path of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. The scripture sets Santosha as an ‘abhayasa’ meaning ‘practice’. It is that practice that encourages a feeling of gratitude & abundance allowing us to look deeper to form a strong & positive relationship with ourselves & to uncover true happiness.
At Santosha Yoga, we practice with a feeling of fullness, we practice acceptance & set an intention to appreciate where we are, how far we have come & all that we have to look forward to. As we create this space to journey inward where our external circumstances meet our internal expectations, we drop the ‘need’ to be more flexible, strong or powerful, it is then, that we feel guided into being healthy, calm, balanced & truly content.
The abhayasa or practice of yoga is a dynamic expression of life, a lifestyle of greater awareness, kindness & compassion & it is then alike the Lotus one can unfold, expand & blossom to life’s full potential.
Our format of practice is a traditional & authentic form of integrated Hatha Yoga, a holistic sequenced system for energizing the mind, body & spirit. Our classes are set in a non-competitive & non-judgmental environment & ideal for all levels of yoga enthusiasts from beginners to advanced practitioners.
Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to seeing you in our virtual class soon.
