The practices of Yoga provide the means to bring out the best in each
practitioner.  This requires an understanding of a person's present
condition, personal potential, appropriate goals, and the means available.
Just as every person is different, these aspects will vary with each
individual.



Viniyoga is a comprehensive and authentic transmission of the teachings
of yoga including asana, pranayama, bandha, sound, chanting, meditation,
personal ritual, and study of texts.  Viniyoga is an ancient Sanskrit term
that implies differentiation, adaptation, and appropriate application.



Viniyoga refers to an approach to Yoga that adapts the various means and
methods of practice to the unique condition, needs and interests of each
individual – giving each practitioner the tools to individualize and actualize
the process of self-discovery and personal transformation.
