What is Yoga

Yoga is the most comprehensive system for increasing awareness and establishing a person in dharma or purposeful living.

The Power of the Yoga and Ayurveda connection is mostly missing from modern yogic teaching. The work of Mas Vidal (Maheshananda) is based on providing a unified approach to these powerful and comprehensive wisdom traditions.

Ayurveda provides the knowledge of nature's laws as a result of duality created by the movements of the sun, moon, and earth.

Yoga and Ayurveda teacher training is to teach a person to live in greater harmony with nature's laws by understanding that all living things are supported by the same life force. Yoga teaches personal responsibility through the development of tapas or discipline over the mind and senses. The Dancing Shiva training prepares a person to be a teacher first and foremost by example through adherence to a vast tradition that embraces the supreme laws of eternity, truth.
