Learn how yoga really works with authentic, lineage driven content.
The Yoga Studies Institute is a 501 (c)(3) educational non-profit committed to offering the most pristine translations and relevant yogic teachings for use in everyday life.
Our mission is to teach and promote yoga as a holistic philosophy and practice.
Yoga is practiced by millions of people everyday--but how many experience the full benefit of their practice? We are committed to making the original wisdom of yoga accessible to anyone.
Don't fall for the common traps of yoga education:
Does this sound familiar?
- Heavy focus on being flexible in difficult physical postures
- Lack of training for a holistic lifestyle
- No community connection
- Taught by content creators or new yoga teachers instead of a time tested authentic lineage...

Bhagavad Gita
February 6-10, 2025
The Bhagavad Gita, a timeless jewel of spiritual wisdom written in ancient India more than 2,000 years ago, offers profound insights into the human condition which resonate across cultures and generations.
More than just a philosophical text, it's a practical guide for navigating the complexities of life with grace, courage, and purpose, and forms the basis for much of modern yoga philosophy.
