Our Philosophy
We believe Yoga is an opportunity to skillfully challenge our boundaries while celebrating life. Our teachers and the evolution of Kula are guided by the following principles:
• A lifelong devotion to practice, learning and self discovery.
• A dedication to working towards our highest good.
• A commitment to create a community where we can share our knowledge, playfully expand our practice, deepen the conversation within ourselves and our students, and most importantly, have fun!
• A desire to discover a connection to our own hearts and the world around us.
