Our yoga studio is located on a quiet, rural plot Nanaimo, BC.

Heartfelt Compassion.
Deep Knowledge. Unified Thinking. Silent Motion.

Our service offerings are aligned with the Four Paths of Yoga, with approaches, practices, and philosophies that contribute to healthy bodies and thinking:

KARMA YOGA

PATH OF ACTION & SERVICE
Work done with the right attitude (bhava) becomes consecrated and a sacred act.
A life consecrated to doing selfless acts will become a divine life.
– Swami Sivananda.
Bhakti Yoga

BHAKTI YOGA

PATH OF EMOTIONS & DEVOTION
Bhakti expresses all humans' natural emotional and motivational principles, even outside spiritual practices. In Bhakti Yoga, we transmute emotions into devotion using the Nine Modes of Bhakti.

RAJA/HATHA YOGA

PATH OF MEDITATION
Concentration is like gathering the rays of the mind and applying them to a topic. The Yogi endeavors to have fewer thoughts, so the thoughts that remain in the mind will gain power and realization.
Jnana Yoga

JNANA YOGA

PATH OF KNOWLEDGE
Ultimately, all the yoga practices bring us to realize our true nature and free us from the suffering that comes from identifying with our body, mind, and ego. This is the real goal of yoga.
