Like all tools, there are those who misuse, misapply, and misinterpret yoga. Many rush to make grand claims about what they are capable of helping others achieve. We strongly encourage our readers to be skeptical.
Here, we are passionate about yoga as an area of study. We believe yoga should be explored as both a spiritual philosophy and physical discipline. We are seekers (sadhakas) of knowledge, peace, and consciousness. All Eight limbs of yoga are of equal weight and importance. We study a wide variety of topics and attempt to engage in meaningful discussion on the yogic worldview.
The best resources to help us accomplish our mission are academic in nature. The best hypotheses are tested using the scientific method, are scrutinized by peers, and supported with repeatable evidence. Our priority is to provide grounded explanations for the phenomena which stem from an authentic practice. It is our imperative to incorporate and revere the sciences. We would be poor seekers of the truth if we didn’t. Additionally, to explore the soul, we delve into all yoga-adjacent arts, voyage into spiritual scripture, and the historical context of yoga.
What we witness is our truth, but being able to reconcile our experience with facts is the first step toward understanding what is truly happening when we step onto our mats. From the observable to the narrative, I care about it all.
Nothing on this website should be taken as an authority. While I exert tremendous effort to cite my sources and incorporate perspective, the writings here are mostly opinion. At the end of the day, you either align or you don’t. Everyone is free to choose their own journey. While it is not my goal, I remain honored and humbled if this website somehow helps guide others along the way.
