Sani Yoga, pronounced Shani, was founded by “Maya” Georg in an effort to share the teachings she learned from her Guru and teachers. The teachings are simply based upon classical yogic texts and embody the asanas (exercises) as well as higher yogic practices. These practices are: pranayama (breath/energy control), kriya (cleansing techniques), mudra (gesture/ attitude) and dhyana (concentration/meditation).

Classes at Sani Yoga go beyond learning yoga poses. Monkeys perform the exercises far better, and with more ease, than humans. Of course, monkeys aren’t searching for a better sense of themselves. That’s why the higher practices are so vital. Yoga is pointless without them. It would be like finding an oyster on the beach, throwing away the pearl and keeping the shell as a treasure.

The classes are about achieving perfection. Perfecting the body and the mind does not mean wearing a size 2 or mastering astrophysics. This perfection is about trying your best, through discipline and practice, to become a better, more well-rounded and happier individual.
