Namaste Yoga follows the yogic principle of Ahimsa by striving to maintain a studio space where everyone has equal access to resources and receives equitable treatment regardless of race, gender, ability, income, or age.

We acknowledge the practice of yoga in the United States usually centers on postures, and not yoga philosophy or tenets of yoga. However, we strive to be respectful of the origins of yoga in the context in which we live. When speaking of yoga philosophy, we recognize the Yoga Sutra is a translation of the teachings of the yoga tradition as told by the sage Patanjali. It has been translated multiple times and with changes in society, the interpretations of this ancient wisdom shift as well. Therefore, the interpretations we use here have come from multiple sources that include traditional and modern applications and we have worked to represent the intent, independent of colonial interpretations, of each sutra to the best of our ability.
