The YOGA STUDIES INSTITUTE is a non-profit educational institute that thoroughly grounds students in the classical tradition of yoga. The program reunites the "outside" methods (working with the physical postures and breath) with the traditional "inside" methods (ethical living, meditation, philosophical training, and correct worldview) into a powerful synthesis the ancients called "royal yoga."
Bringing together these "outside" and "inside" methods, restoring to yoga the complete set of "limbs" of Patanjali's eight-limbed (ashta-anga) practice, combining the physical dimension of yoga with the spiritual understanding of the interdependence of karma and emptiness, the program is designed to achieve nothing less than the end of suffering and full enlightenment for the practitioner and the skills needed to teach others how to reach these goals too.
YSI's Yoga trainings are grounded in the oldest Yoga scriptures, teaching an ancient, authentic lineage. We work closely with the Asian Classics Input Project (ACIP) to source, discover, and translate ancient texts in Sanskrit and Tibetan, and provide them in a modern commentary to modern Yoga students and teachers.
Yoga Studies Institute is currently developing a 200 + hour certification program. Students who complete a YSI Course, including all homework's, quizzes, and final exam, will be granted hours to apply towards the 200 hour certification.
