Dear Sharathji, You are ever-present, on and off our mats. You planted strong seeds of discipline, understanding, and kindness, and we are deeply grateful for all that you shared. Today, and every day, you will be honored and remembered in our community and in our practice as a wise and gentle teacher — one who could joke and bring light, yet carried the responsibilities of the lineage with seriousness and unwavering dedication.

Yoga lives in the mundane. In the rhythm of our day-to-day lives.

It is less about postures and more about being.

Through movement, gaze, and breath, we access the mind and connect with ourselves.

Yoga is in how we wake up and in the thoughts we choose to nurture.

It’s the pause to listen deeply, to observe and reflect.

It’s found in moments of genuine presence— when we act with full attention and sincere intention.

Talking with a friend, sipping tea, listening to your child, sharing time with your partner.

Even in challenge, yoga asks us to respond rather than react.

Being fully present in the mundane is a jewel of deep consciousness.

The practice on the mat simply helps us remember what we already know within— simple, yet not easy.

On overcoming obstacles: Sadhana means committing to our spiritual goals and making time for them. Sadhya is the goal itself, sadhana is the practice that moves us toward it, and upaya is the skillful way we stay on the path. It’s about showing up, beginning, and carrying things through — discipline that turns intention into realization.

अथ योगानुशासनम्
atha yoga-anuśāsanam
In this present moment, yoga begins.

The first verse of the Yoga Sūtras: atha yoga-anuśāsanam — “Now, the teachings of yoga.”

Atha means here, now, in this very moment.

Anuśāsanam points to discipline, guidance, and tradition passed down.

It’s a reminder that yoga doesn’t live in the past or future. It begins where you are, right now—held by tradition, lived in the present moment.

Start here, now. Show up as you are.

Join our yoga classes.
Mysore-style — assisted, self-led classes where you breathe and move at your own pace — and guided classes, where we breathe and move together while listening to the Sanskrit name of the asana, the count, and the gaze. This is called Tristhana.

Come learn yoga in a studio that honours lineage and tradition while respecting the unique nature of your body and mind.

Yoga begins with listening 🤍

10 years apart.
A decade of friendship, practice, and walking through motherhood together — now with two kiddos each. These videos show the same practice and same assist, 10 years in between, and reflect the resiliency, softness, and continuity of practice through all the ebbs and flows of life.

Grateful for the shared roots in lineage, the ongoing commitment, and the gentleness that has grown with time.

Thanks for visiting our little studio in Squamish ❤️
