Eureka Yoga promotes the practice and dissemination of yoga throughout our community. We believe that healthy & balanced individuals are the necessary building blocks of a stable, balanced, and peaceful society. Yoga is a powerful tool that enables both individuals and communities to move towards peace & harmony. Yoga is a vast & ancient science, and is appropriate for individuals of all ages, religions, and political leanings, provided that one is willing to look beyond superficial cultural differences. In our material and instruction we emphasize the practice of the EIGHT LIMBS of yoga, as described in the yogic texts. As for our asana practice, we follow the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. This style is termed Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, and comprises the 6 sequences of postures combined with Ujjayi breathing, Bandhas and Drishti. “The young, the old, the extremely aged, even the sick and infirm obtain perfection in yoga by constant practice. Success will follow he who practices, not he who practices not. Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Chapter I, Verses 64-6. “Yoga Chitta vrtti nirodha” – Yoga is the STILLING of the fluctuations of the mind. Yoga Sutras “Yoga is not for him who gorges too much nor for him who starves himself. It is not for him who sleeps too much nor for him who stays awake. By moderation in eating and in resting, by regulation in working and by concordance in sleeping and waking, yoga destroys all pain and sorrow”. Bhagavad-Gita
