What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient system of well being that, with regular practice, leads both the body and mind towards a flexible, balanced condition.
How does it work?
A gradual progression of specific postures, breath control and relaxation techniques tones the body, conditions the glandular and nervous systems, steadies thought-processes, calms emotional reactivity and leads to emotional stability.
Who is it for?
Done properly, with respect and care, everyone can benefit from these simple, healthful practices.
Is Yoga a religion?
Yoga is a science of consciousness. As taught at SKY, Yoga is strictly non-denominational, respecting and supporting the personal and religious beliefs of each practitioner.
What is SKY Foundation?
SKY is a non-profit foundation chartered in 1972 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Since that time it has taught thousands of students a system faithful to the traditional Yoga discipline advanced by Kaivalyadhama, India’s famed Yoga institution founded in 1924 by Swami Kuvalayanandaji, a pioneering exponent of the modern scientific approach to classical Yoga.
