The Community

Scanda ashram gateway

Independence within fellowship

YogaLiving is a community where people are linked together in contact with one another and with The Teachings. The community is discreet and not self-promoting quietly and authentically exploring the possibilities of self-discovery through Atma Vichara. Members of the community are independent and self-directing, accessing teaching and support at their own pace, through opportunity,dynamism and connection.


This day is my spiritual practice

By supporting and encouraging engagement in the mainstream of events, the fullness of the day is the context within which practice takes place. This brings with it challenges and rich opportunities, The everyday moment of work, family and environment is embraced and not denied. This is a very significant thing to do, it is the yoga of engagement and it strengthens the integrity and value of the spiritual path,bringing meaning to the moment.


The current of teaching

Spiritual life has always been adventurous. Through YogaLiving the teaching is clear; opportunities to access it are clear, guidance on how to apply it is clear,The Teacher is available and the support system is reliable. The application and implementation of teaching however remains in the hands of each individual. This is an essential element of any authentic and real spiritual exploration.

Enabling Practice

The community is enabled through the regular Satsangs, the practice days and events and Retreats, access to the teacher and to each other and through receiving the journal Ashrama where original teaching is shared.
