The Traditional Yoga Association

One of the co-founders of The Traditional Yoga Association, Uddhava continues to teach in the Reading area. He is particularly interested in teaching those for whom Yoga is very often out of reach: people with disabilities or physical problems that would prevent them from entering a mainstream class. As well as Yoga, Uddhava also teaches meditation and chanting.

During the past decade I have been both a student and a teacher of Yoga. I trained in Yoga with Swami Ambikananda on a one-to-one basis and in her classes. I also completed the Integrative Yoga Therapy teacher training course in the USA. Yoga has brought about a profound healing and transformation within myself and through teaching I am able to observe this process happening in my students. I encourage my students to listen to and to become acutely aware of themselves rather than applying force to achieve a goal. This focus on the process - the means rather than the end - that is so much a core of Swami Ambikananda's teaching, makes Yoga accessible to all and opens up a deep spiritual connection through a physical activity.
