Transformational Yoga

Transformational Yoga is an innovative Yoga system integrating several forms of Yoga. Transformational yoga focuses on the seven chakras, the five bodies, and the prana networks . This integral approach therefore increases the benefits that can be realized with each separate Yoga technique and brings focus and balance to the many levels of our beings.

We define Transformational Yoga as the process of awakening of the supreme consciousness in us by relaxation, cleansing of toxins and a generation of energy in the physical, emotional, mental and psychic planes of our being (or bodies) and the process of connection of this energy with our pure planes of consciousness (the spiritual body).

Through Transformational Yoga we purify all four bodies, connect the energies and directly open the gate to the spiritual body. The transformation happens when we stop living exclusively in our outer reality and enter our center, and when we become established and draw the supreme consciousness into our outer levels of beings. This state is characterized by good health, emotional and mental focus and spiritual clarity.
