Acharyas (Yogic Spiritual Teachers)

Acharyas provide instruction and ongoing guidance for individualized spiritual practices and strategies for healthy living. They offer a step by step process of spiritual instruction rooted in the ancient teachings of the Tantras, Vedas, and Astaunga (eight fold path) Yoga. This system integrates meditation, yoga postures, service, and philosophy into a healthy lifestyle for the yogi of the 21st century. This provides the balance in life daily while exploring one’s inner most self, one’s Divine Consciousness.
