We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of race, nation, sexual orientation, religion or any other category which separates people from each other. Our goal is unity and harmony. What we don’t want in our program is judgment, ego, criticism or bad attitude in general. We insist that students accept people as they are and treat others as they would want to be treated. This is real yoga in action.
We think that a guiding philosophy is very important for a yoga school At Jungleyoga we follow a general philosophy which guides us in both yoga and the rest of life. It could be called a philosophy or a creed, but it is certainly not a locked set of rules. Overall, we strive to “do the right thing at the right time.†We do our best to act in a way which is beneficial to all creatures around us, and causes harm to none.
Most importantly, we believe that everyone is unique and that the exact same set of rules could never apply to everyone (except the Yama and Niyama rules of conduct from the yoga philosophy!) Therefore, we try to allow for people to follow their own path (dharma) in the way they see fit. As long as this way does not injure others or cause suffering, it is fine.
We keep our teachings very open so that individuals can grow in their own way. What is important is that a person is doing the right thing at the right time. What students need to discover is what is appropriate to be doing at that particular time and place. In this, we employ many teachings of Ayurveda (Vedic medicine and healing) to uncover what is appropriate for an individual.
So, as teachers, we are guiding students to discover what is best for themselves, not to be copying the teacher or some set ‘style’ of yoga. Certainly we have specific methods of doing things and ways of working that we know work for most students. We also follow the wisdom of certain traditional yogic and tantric traditions because we know that they work.
In this quest for yoga, it is important to work with intensity, intention, dedication and intelligence. We wish for a deep transformation for each and every student, but not at the expense of health or well-being. Our method of working is one of gradual cultivation, not a hard and fast intensity which can be dangerous. We make sure that proper preparation is made in each practice, so that students can learn the essentials Once the essentials of the postures/breaths/meditations are learned, we can build upon them and intensify the practices.
