About Namasté Yoga

Dates & Schedule for the

Namasté Yoga was the first studio

Registered Yoga School (RYS) at

The (AYSP) in Hatha Yoga is based
on the Tantric Philosophy that
embraces the innate goodness in
every being.
For Tantra, we
embody and reflect the Divine
Nature of all beings. Our lives,
therefore, are a means to selffulfillment.
With humility and gratitude, we
offer a program that will explore
more deeply the eight limbs of
yoga by utilizing sacred texts,
highly trained/skilled teachers and
the powerful effect of working with
colleagues in a group setting. The
length of the program creates an
opportunity to share knowledge
and practice new teaching skills and
then come together monthly to
share experiences in a format that
supports you and your teaching
practice.
