Our studio space, designed to evoke the beauty and atmosphere of Indian temples, now houses a consecrated mandir - a Community Temple - dedicated to Shiva-Nataraj. Shiva is the mythological progenitor of Hatha Yoga. We provide a unique opportunity for our students to learn and live the Yoga Tradition of the Ancient Sages. Cultivating a Yogic lifestyle enables us to live out our alloted years with great contentment and connection. Our classes honor the original purpose of Hatha Yoga as a conscious embodiment of our Essential Nature. We are also proud to host the programs of our sister organization, Trika Institute, a non-profit dedicated to bringing Classical Tantra to the West. In partnership with Trika Institute we offer multiple opportunities to learn the practices and philosophy of Classical Tantra. Programs available at Yoga Mandala include daily Yoga classes, foundational and advanced trainings in philosophy and meditation, Yoga Teacher Training, Ayurveda courses, retreats, public Pujas, community celebrations, and more. As practitioners ourselves, we know the Yogic lifestyle cannot be bought, however we have found great aid through various books, herbal formulas, incense, music and art.
