Director's Message
Words from Brahmacharini Shobha on the essence of Amrita Yoga and its transformative power
Under Amma's direct guidance and blessing, Brahmacharini Shobha shares her insights on the profound journey of Amrita Yoga.
The Essence of Amrita Yoga
Amrita Yoga® isn't just about the asanas—it's much more. It's about aligning with our true Self. If yoga were only about aligning parts of the body, anyone with perfect bodily alignment would be Self-realized. Alignment is an inside-out approach. Aligning to the inner presence enhances the panchakoshas (five layers of the body described in the yoga scriptures) and is the actual alignment.
Amrita Yoga® supports us in establishing a positive and harmonious lifestyle. The practice moves us beyond the asana and breath into stillness and our innate silence by utilizing breath, chanting, and awareness. This experience of attunement extends into our family life and resonates with everything in creation. Oneness becomes part of our day, something we experience, not an unattainable ideal.
Amrita Yoga® has a long history of outreach, serving communities globally. Our curriculum is rooted in Sanatana Dharma and inspired by the living example of Amma and Her teachings.
Our Sacred Commitment
We are committed to upholding Amma's example of love and selflessness and bringing India's rich and ancient yoga tradition to future generations. We continue to offer yoga as an essential tool to experience the innate happiness within us.
Among the many blessings of Amrita Yoga®, for which we thank Amma, we are most grateful to each of our precious volunteers for their selfless service. Amrita Yoga® could not have grown to what it is today without them. We are all so fortunate to have Amma's presence and guidance. She is our Mother and Adiguru (first teacher).
