Change has been my constant companion. I used to think that change was the thing to survive—the disruption to endure until I found my way back to something known, something stable.

What does it feel like to move through the world from a place of integrity? How do we remain steady when everything is changing? How do we bring grace to the effort?

Learning the Yamas and Niyamas gave me a new framework for living—one that felt honest and self-responsible. For the first time in my adult life, I had language for how I wanted to move through the world.

Tapas. Svadhyaya. Ishvarapranidhana. These three Sanskrit words make up the path of Kriya Yoga. Together, they are a framework for sustainable transformation—on the mat, in relationships, in work, and in life.

We opened our doors in 2016 and were instantly met with kindness and support. Eight years later, I still feel that kindness when I walk through the doors.
