Pike St. and we are on the first floor. We are on the #11 busline

The Samadhi Yoga Center
At Samadhi Yoga our aim is to share the magic of yoga to help students
attain the essential state of joy or Samadhi. Our center promotes the
practice of yoga in a supportive environment with the ultimate goal
of helping to build a world of peace and unity.
Samadhi literally translated means
transcendental bliss. Yoga means yoke or union. (We yoke our individual
mind to the Divine or higher mind.)
Samadhi is the 8th stage or branch
on the "tree" of Ashtanga yoga first written down by Patanjali
more than 2,000 years ago. Yama and Niyama are the rules and observances
for living, Asana are the yogic postures, Pranayama are breathing practices,
Pratyahara is withdrawing the senses to facilitate Dharana (concentration
or focus) and Dhyana (meditation). By integrating these tools into our
daily lives, we are likely to realize the great peace that lies within.
Through yoga we may realize our timeless connection to Spirit and to
each other, in community. One needn't subscribe to any particular beliefs
to receive the immense benefits of yoga. It is a time-tested recipe
for manifesting the highest state of being.
The Practice
Samadhi Yoga combines vigorous, athletic yoga with slow, sustained
stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as emphasis
on the breath and focus of the mind. In short it is a practice of moving
meditation. Samadhi yoga is a method evolved from Hunt's own research
and experience in yoga and dance.
Just as metal can be reshaped by
application of heat, the body can be transformed by blending the "fire
of prana"-the vital life force in all living things with sequential
asanas or yogic postures.
Classes include traditional yoga
chanting in Sanskrit and deep meditation intended to carry us further
in our journey towards Samadhi.
..."A state in which the individual mind, freed
for a time from all material limits takes the form of supreme, omnipotent
and omnipresent mind and gains enlightenment."
—Shri Brahmananda Saraswati
(A great yogi, doctor and founder of the Ananda Ashram)
We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the
evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now.
