Vajrasati Yoga was founded in 2000.

All teachers, trainees and students in classes are empowered through a focus on ‘listening/responding’ that becomes spontaneous (sahaja) when the mind’s patterns have been quieted through yogic practices and the ease that comes through trust.

Vajrasati Yoga (VS Yoga) most often takes the form of a straightforward Modern Postural Yoga class i.e. body work. Interwoven into the fabric of the MPY āsanas is the spirit of the yoga movement as it has come down to us through its various influences such as Tantra, Haṭha, Advaita Vedanta and Jainism and Buddhism.

This is done through the tone of the relationship we have with the practice. We focus on the the central premise embodied in the word yoga itself - the isolation of breath, body, mind, heart, energy is simply a convention, covering a more obvious truth that each of these elements are inseparable parts of one whole experience (a field if you like). Opening to this field (known by various names such as the source (yoni), the ground (bhumi), the mother (mātṛkā) makes clinging impossible and we fall (patana) into the true nature of the Heart that -freedom, joy, wisdom, and bliss.

We encourage non-violence (ahiṃsā), honesty (satya), investigation (svādhyāya) as well as using a sense of trust in wisdom beyond our habitual tendencies  (īśvarapraṇidhāna), or letting go, to find a deeper, intuitive connection (yoga) to what we do. The classes integrate movement, breath, philosophy and humour in a way that leaves you feeling lighter, refreshed and revitalised.
