Set Yourself Up for Success with Yoga Philosophy

Yoga is the view that our minds and bodies are the parts of the natural world that we, as persons, must take responsibility for so that they reflect our interests as people. When we succeed at Yoga we integrate various aspects of our life into a coherent whole, autonomous agent.

Yoga is an ancient philosophy that is unique in that it does not begin with a set of beliefs that one has to agree with but with the proposal that we should organize options to choose from.

The Yoga Philosophy Institute is committed to bringing research-based information on Yoga to interested students and practitioners.
