ABOUT AKASHA
A few words about us
In this modern world there is a widespread sense of separation. People often struggle to find authentic connection to themselves, others and their environment, making them feel isolated & meaningless.
If this continues, humanity won’t fulfil its potential and will continue to live in a dull and divided world obsessed with self-destruction.
Yoga is connection and intimacy with breath & life.
We provide a safe & dedicated space for people to truly immerse into Yoga, loving community and a new way of being; so that people can wake up every day full of purpose, love and a profound trust in life.
