Philosophy and Comments

Yoga philosophy teaches that everything we see, hear, every person – all that exists, is made of pure, divine consciousness. The awareness of this is a powerfully healing state of being. Soul Source Yoga is dedicated to helping students and clients on their path to this state of deeper knowing, being and living in that awareness.

Kirtan - a Yogic Tradition

Kirtan is a traditional yogic, call and response practice that can draw participants inside to a meditative state. Singing changes the rate of the breath and facilitates greater awareness of the Divine within all things and all beings. If the spirit moves you...singing (whether you think you are good at it or not) is encouraged...and you are also welcomed to just come and listen! Contact us for more info. Check our website www.soulsourceyoga.com to find out when we will have the next kirtan.

Weekend Retreats/ Meditation Course

Whether a full weekend or a 1/2 day, Soul Source Yoga retreats are deeply relaxing and a great way to deepen your practice, and your understanding of what Svaroopa yoga has to offer the practitioner. 1/2 day retreats are usually 2 1/2 - 4 hours and weekend retreats are usually 12 hours of instruction. Both offer participants a chance to slow down, settle in and enjoy the benefits of yoga in a deeper way than a 90 min class can do. Usually the retreat will have a theme and yoga philosophy and other yogic practices will be explored.

Our studio offers free group meditation times as well!

Private Yoga Class

There are various reasons why a student may wish to have private yoga instruction. Sometimes the student is not quite ready to join a group class environment for physical or other reasons. Or the student may be looking for some help in designing their home practice. Perhaps they just want the opportunity for some extra attention/alignments/adjustments that only a private yoga class can offer.Clair is available for private group classes and "yoga parties" as well. A private group class or yoga party is a group of students that you bring together for a private class. Friends and/or co-workers, whoever you choose, you can work with Clair to schedule your private group class or yoga party.
