OUR VOICE
In a time when many stray away from the true path, we remain 'fundamental' in our simplicity, by adhering to the roots of what we believe yoga is meant to be. That which is a wonderful gift, an instrument, used to attune the individual soul ‘atman’ with the universal chords of truth.
The word Samasthala translates to ‘balance’. We recognise the importance of an asthanga adjacent styled vinyasa flow and traditional hatha yin, both of which is incorporated into our curriculum to create equalibrium.
Rarely do 200-Hour Yoga Alliance approved teacher-training programmes equip the Yogi with an understanding of both. However, we recognise that the opposites of yin and yang is what allows for the existence of all things.
