A Free Virtual Event With Yogic Master Teacher Anand Mehrotra

Yoga classes have been a godsend for many of us, and while the practice on our

mats is certainly helpful, much of what is taught is purely mechanical.

This physical yoga practice provides real benefits for our bodies and minds — bringing health, peace and vitality — butthere is a deeper definition and more powerful expression of yoga that taps the full spiritual power of this ancient tradition.

The word “yoga” in its original context means “union with the Divine” — it’s derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to unite.” So while Westerners tend to equate yoga with a physical practice, it’s about far more than loosening your muscles and relaxing your body.
