Our emphasis is towards a meditative approach and the spiritual aspect of yoga in the tradition of the Bihar School of Yoga.

Classical yoga and meditation


Swami Pragyamurti Saraswati

The Land of Absolute Silence

I have fled 
from a world of chaos
after tasting its tricks
so thoroughly

There was hunger in its food
and thirst in its water.
Suffering was hidden in its pleasure
like thorns among the roses.

The emptiness of its offerings
inspired my re-direction
towards the valley of the Absolute.

Inner silence is my new world
where I begin to see
my oneness with God
as my real identity.

In my inner world 
I am alone with You.
Your grace sings calm into my soul
as we walk the path together.

Swami Pragyamurti Saraswati

This poem was written by Swami Pragyamurti many years ago. Swami P left her body approx 16:50 on Friday 11th August 2023, in her own bed, in her own home, surrounded by family and friends, just as she wanted.

Yoga nidra is the yoga of aware sleep. In this lies the secret of self-healing. Yoga nidra is a pratyahara technique in which the distractions of the mind are contained and the mind is relaxed.

If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The goal of life is the attainment of peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame or wealth.
