The Royal Path
Unlock Your Highest Potential

Just like the lotus we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world.

Insight · Worth Knowing Anyway
The 'Royal' in Raja Yoga
This class's name points back to one of the oldest structured systems of yoga on record.
A Title, Not a Style
'Raja' means 'royal' or 'king' — the term traditionally refers to Patanjali's classical eight-limbed system, considered the most complete or 'kingly' path among yoga's branches.
Only One of Eight Limbs
Asana — physical posture — is just one of Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga; the others include ethical restraints, breath control, and stages of meditation, meaning the poses were never meant to be the whole practice.
Yoke, Not Stretch
The word 'yoga' comes from the Sanskrit root 'yuj,' meaning to yoke or unite — the postures were designed as a tool for union of mind, body, and spirit, not flexibility for its own sake.

Special Instructions
Before youflow
A few small preparations — so your body and breath are ready to move together.
Arrive early
Please arrive 10 minutes before class to set up your mat and settle your breath before we begin.
What to wear
Comfortable, breathable clothing you can move freely in through vinyasa flow. All levels are welcome — modifications are offered throughout.
What to bring
Your own mat if you have one, plus water. Eat lightly beforehand — a full stomach and flowing asana don't mix well.
Testimonials
Voices from the Room
I've done many yoga classes but Soni really teaches more than the poses. This practice has been passed down through her family from India & brought here. I am hooked & inspired to do it daily. I am learning how to truly connect with my inner self.
Soni has been a teacher of mine for over 25 years. Her classes take me on an inward journey where I feel transformation occur in real time. She mindfully guides the energy of the class with freedom and play, as well as a healthy physical challenge. I look forward to the pranayama, meditation, and asana each class offers and most importantly I leave feeling uplifted and lighter every time.
Soni brings a genuine authenticity to the mat. Her classes are fun and challenging. She has a true love of teaching that joyously shines through and she revels in the energy of her students.
