The very core of Sacred Spiral, the mission, is to put the real meaning of Yoga back into the current tidal wave of mis-guided material proliferating in the name of Yoga today.
Probably the majority of western folk associate 'Yoga' with various physical exercise routines where the body is stretched and twisted into extremely difficult shapes and positions, heated, sweaty studios, fashionable yoga accessories and clothing, retreats in exotic places and so on.
Patanjali's famous 'Yoga Sutras' devote just a few brief aphorisms to Asana and contrary to popular practice he gives the method of Asana: "Loosen and relax, allowing your awareness to merge with endlessness and the infinite" - Western style physical fitness practicing - stretching, balancing, strengthening etc for sometimes many hours a day on the yoga mat is really the arena of Gymnasts, Acrobatics and Circus performers and amounts to 'matter trying to change matter' - good for competitions and the Olympic games etc .
Sacred Spiral Yoga is on a mission to put back true Raja Yoga into common Yoga practice. We do have our Asana & Prana-Yama, however, correct understanding and practice of Patanjali's 'Astanga' system is the true method of attaining Yoga. Daily Yoga practice that has Meditation, Relaxation and Contemplation related to who we really are and how our 'real' life looks is the authentic key.
