Yoga Lineage

SchoolYoga Institute teaches Sadhana yoga, a spiritually grounded practice. We believe yoga transcends physical practice and is ultimately a vehicle for spiritual insight.

Sadhana yoga draws mainly from the traditions of Sivananda yoga and Ashtanga yoga. The contrasting influences of these two traditions can be experienced in SchoolYoga Institute’s primary Flows: Sadhana Hatha Flow and Sadhana Vinyasa Flow. Sadhana Hatha Flow is a slower, meditative practice inspired by the Sivananda tradition, while Sadhana Vinyasa Flow is a faster, heating practice inspired by Ashtanga.

Sadhana yoga’s secondary influences are multiple and include Iyengar yoga, Anasura yoga, Integral yoga, Kundalini yoga, Shamanic healing, and Energetic healing arts such as Reiki, Tai Chi, and Chiqong.

In addition to our primary Flows, Sadhana Hatha Flow and Sadhana Vinyasa Flow, we also offer training in teaching Sadhana Gentle Flow, Sadhana Restorative Yoga, and Sadhana Shamanic Yoga.
