More and more people have discovered the modern practice with ancient origins known as Yoga. Nearly every major city has now many yoga studios, offering a diversity of different styles and types of yoga practice. You may ask yourself, how do I find the right place and style of practice for me? Much of that question can be answered by the feelings that you have when you are practicing in a certain place and when you are around certain people.
Arunachala Yoga Nilayam is founded on certain values and principles. Those elements that are valued the most in this shala are authentic and traditional practice that is linked to a longstanding lineage, practice that is connected to and integrated with philosophic inquiry and study (including Sanskrit chanting and Mantra Yoga) and the cultivation of a vibrant and loving community of practitioners that share common values.
