Our Mission
Vira Bhava Yoga is a lifestyle company whose mission is to help students remember (smarana) that Yoga is who we are at our core and to guide and support the work of realizing and remembering this both on and off our mat.
Our work builds true communities of practitioners around the United States and the world by gathering an online network of students, teachers, and practitioners to connect, explore, discover, share, and affirm our unique experiences.
What is Bhava?
Vira Bhava Yoga strives to empower Yogis to live in integrity with the teachings of Yoga. Vira means “hero/warrior” and Bhava means "the essence of" or “character of”. Vira Bhava Yogis are committed to embodying the essence of a hero by bravely and vulnerably living in coexistence with our core values, courageously pursuing a fully authentic life, and embracing the accountability and responsibility of the choices we make have an impact on our families, our communities, and the world. Our teacher training programs are designed not only to teach yoga but also to support students in living the deepest call of their hearts into the world.
What Does It Mean to Be a Vira Bhava Yogi?
At Vira Bhava Yoga, we are confident and courageous. We are unapologetically aligned with the deepest call of our hearts. We promote a foundation of honesty and trust; in ourselves, in our choices, and in a power that is simultaneously who we are, and so much bigger than who we understand ourselves to be
We believe that life is a gift that supports and teaches us. Through our practices and commitments, we maintain an intimacy with the unchanging center of our Selves that resonates our truth. We strive to serve the world in alignment with our natural talents and our purpose. We aspire to see the light in everyone. We are aware that EVERY experience is an opportunity to exercise our resilience, to heal, and to grow.
As Vira Bhava Yogis, we commit to living integrated, resilient lives so that we can best serve the world.
Are You a Good Fit For a Vira Bhava Yoga Training?
Vira Bhava Yoga Trainings are a good fit for practicing yogis who have experienced directly that Yoga is more than an asana, and desire to know more. We are a training school for those who sense that yoga is a bridge to something bigger and a gateway to our own infinite capacity.
Vira Bhava Yoga school is a place for those who seek to create a positive shift in their world, and who desire to develop the courage and clarity needed to be resilient in the face of hardship. It is through the practice of yoga that we maintain our center, nurture our strength, and take care of our minds, bodies, hearts, and our world.
Vira Bhava Yoga works to cultivate each participant’s unique gifts by fostering an opportunity for individual growth and expansion. We work with Yogis who are ready to connect to the inspiration and power that the practices of Yoga have to offer through the tools, teachings, inquiry, and support inspired by the teachings of Sri Vidya Tantra.
