Yoga Mandala

Yoga Mandala is a resource center for education in, and the practice of the Hatha Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda traditions as well as a diverse community of individuals and families, young and old, arising out of the principles, lifestyle, and practices of Hatha Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda.

The founders of Yoga Mandala are part of an ancient tradition from India known as Tantrik Kundalini Yoga. Tantra is a philosophy and practice that is life-affirming. This tradition is concerned with the transmission of enlightened teachings and with family and community as an expression of the harmony, compassion, wisdom and abundance of our Essence. Tantra is not a monastic but a family based tradition. Tantra reaches it's ultimate expression through each person's self-realization and the community's joy, harmony and creativity.

Grateful for the impact that the teachings of Tantrik Yoga had on their lives, the YM owners felt the desire to form a center where they could continue to cultivate their own path as a work environment and where these teachings and practices in the form of Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Tantra and Ayurveda could be made available to others. Though not financially well-off they pooled their resources and built the Yoga Mandala studio from the ground up. Their idea was to design the studio so that it would be reminiscent of old temples in India. They wanted people to feel the depth and beauty of what was on offer simply by being in the space of the studio amidst the hustle and bustle of Telegraph Ave.
