East Eagle Yoga

The word yoga means many different things to many different people in modern American culture. At EEY we teach Classical Hatha Yoga from a lineage that began with Shri Yogendra who founded the Yoga Institute in Santa Cruz Mumbai, India.

Until the early 1900s yoga was practiced seriously only by yogis who could devote their lives to the practice. They were hermits in isolation among the Himalayan mountains, casting off possessions and creature comforts and spending their days practicing yoga and meditation. Shri Yogendra believing that regular, everyday people with families, work, and other commitments could benefit from practicing yoga, made it his life’s work to reach these “householders” and show them the value of maintaining a yoga practice.
