Discover the eight limbs of yoga with a foundation of Ayurveda and science through a trauma-informed, body-neutral and body-functionality lens.

At the Life of Wellness Institute, the first step in designing a Yogic Lifestyle is so more than learning to teach Yoga. It begins with the goal of Yoga, which is union. Meaning the peaceful union of seeing yourself as you truly are free from the colorings of the mind. While creating the capacity to hold space for yourself to be with everything and anything in your life with peace of mind, ease, and freedom. From this foundation, we develop expertise in the practices, tools, resources, and support Yoga provides, and learn to share this gift with others.

Why Viniyoga

Viniyoga is an ancient Sanskrit term that means appropriate application. It also implies differentiation and adaptation. It is a holistic healing discipline that addresses the entire person (body, breath, mind, behaviors, emotions, & spirit) in an interconnected way.

Its teaching emphasizes a comprehensive and authentic transmission of yoga designed for everyone’s unique body and mind. It is a therapeutic approach to yoga that adapts the various means and methods of practice to each individual’s unique condition, needs, and interests. Giving each practitioner the tools to individualize and actualize the process of self-discovery and personal transformation.

The practices of yoga provide the means to support each practitioner to embrace their life, health, and wellness fully and compassionately. This requires understanding a person’s present condition, personal potential, appropriate goals, and the means available. Just as every person is different, these aspects will vary with each individual.
