WHAT IS URBAN SADHU YOGA?
Urban Sadhu Yoga is a method of applying ancient yogic wisdom in a contemporary context. The Urban Sadhu Yoga Method is a modern, integrated Yoga method that incorporates many unique aspects of a traditional Yoga sadhana (practice) for the contemporary urban spiritual seeker. The method draws from the ancient yogic wisdom of India – Raja Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Nada Yoga, Jappa Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga – but does not exclude spiritual teachings from other cultures.
Yoga should bring about harmony within, and that harmony should be expanded externally into the world around us. Yoga makes us better humans, more loving, insightful, grateful, and compassionate toward others. These attributes are useless unless expressed in the outside world around us. Urban Sadhu Yoga expresses yoga in the world through spiritual activism focused on key issues such as veganism, environmentalism, and social justice for all beings.
