What is Yoga and SwaSthya Yoga

The definition of Yôga proposed by Master DeRose is the one most accepted nowadays for every lineage of Yôga.


"Yôga is any strictly practical methodology that leads to samádhi."

Samádhi is the state of hyperconsciousness and self-knowledge generated only by Yôga.


SwáSthya Yôga is the name of the systematization of the Ancient Yôga, Pre-Classical, the most complete Yôga in the world.

SwáSthya Yôga’s main characteristics (ashtánga guna) are:

1. its extremely complete practice composed of eight modalities of techniques;
2. the codification of the general rules;
3. the rescue of the archaic concept of chained sequences without repetitions;
4. its focus on special people, born for SwáSthya Yôga;
5. its emphasis on the value of gregarious feelings;
6. its utmost seriousness;
7. the sincere joy; and
8. unfaltering loyalty.
