A 3 PART JOURNEY
YOGA ...
You know there’s more to it than meets the eye. You are a dedicated student or teacher and you now desire more from your practice.
You know it’s not just about the physical sequencing, or the conscious breathing techniques or the deep soulful meditation practice.
It’s all of these things, and more.
In today’s society these practices on their own can help improve a variety of ailments - from lack of physical fitness, to negative thinking, to the deeper misalignments of the body, mind and soul.
But what if there was a system that unified all of these practices and created total balance?
What if you could take your current practice and expand on it to create a deeper understanding of yoga?
And what if you could do this with a yogi master with years of experience, deep knowledge gained a life dedicated to the true purpose of yoga?
Introducing Universal Yoga, created by Andrey Lappa - A system that integrates many schools of yoga into a logical and well balanced practice, whilst also addressing the deeper purpose of yoga… the unification of ‘self’ and long term happiness.

WHAT IS
?
UNIVERSAL YOGA METHODOLOGY
The Universal Yoga Method integrates yogic philosophy and physical asana with monastic techniques. The lineage of teachings comes through Hatha and Vinyasa roots.
While the Universal Yoga curriculum shows extreme depth of a seasoned master, it is delivered in a tangible and logical system that can be used by anyone who is dedicated to exploring their full yoga potential.
The Universal Yoga Method integrates all systems of yoga, empowering you with the confidence and skills necessary to inspire your students. This style unites several existing methods as well as teachings from real life experience, which is essential to understanding the purpose of yoga - the unification of ourselves as a whole.
The core process of this teaching method lies in continuous change. Your practice becomes incredibly powerful based on your current motivations, goals, and your perspective of understanding.
Learning the Universal Yoga system and implementing it into your own personal practice and teachings, will enable you to develop a well rounded practice that provides logical sequencing knowledge. It also provides a deeper understanding of how each kosha or ‘shell’ interconnects with the others presenting total balance and unification of self.
This is the purpose of yoga - to provide a life-long journey of growth and understanding of our human nature along with the health benefits of energetic balance and full body control.
