Universal Yoga is a systematic approach to spiritual evolution based on the key principles of classical yoga, creativity in practice and personal freedom. Andrey Lappa developed the Universal Yoga system after two decades of intensive study and practice with spiritual teachers throughout Asia. His theory lectures offer insightful and comprehensive knowledge and skills for harmonizing spiritual awakening through yoga with everyday life.
We've captured and packaged the entire lecture portion of Andrey's Level 1 Teacher Training and made it available on a multi-DVD set. Over 24 hours of edited material guides you through a truly unique workshop experience that presents Andrey's brilliant synthesis of hatha yoga as well as his provocative insights into the more esoteric yogic practices. This fascinating series of lectures on yoga philosophy is as much a training on being a yogi as it is a workshop on how to teach yoga.
