WHAT IS AGAMA YOGA?

Agama Yoga is a unique international school offering its students the secret spiritual path of true Integral Yoga in a modern form. Based in the authentic, esoteric lineages of Indian and Tibetan Tantra Yoga, Agama provides an updated and upgraded self-development system whose theory includes comprehensive university-level teachings, combined with those of other sacred traditions from East and West (such as Taoism, Gnostic Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism). At the core of our teachings is the practice of an exceptional system of Kundalini-based Hatha Yoga and Laya Yoga, two of the most powerful elements of this age-old tradition. This is an approach nearly lost today which relies on energy awareness during Yoga practice to produce a highly accurate self-understanding of body, mind, and spirit.

Agama wishes to promote Yoga that resembles neither cheapened Hindu mysticism nor fitness-oriented gymnastics. We are interested in a third option: the pure and genuine Yoga discipline. Agama founder Swami Vivekananda Saraswati is one of  a relatively small handfull of Yoga masters today trying to save this path from extinction. Under his leadership we have developed an extensive, five-year curriculum that is both thoroughly spiritual and yet adapted to the Western modern, rational mentality. For 2009, the first 3 months of this curiculum will be offered at our branch in Mexico. Further teachings must be taken at Agama headquarters in Koh Phan Gan, Thailand.

Practicing Yoga has effect on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of your being. On the physical level Yoga can resolve injuries and diseases. It will make your body toned, strong, healthy and flexible. But Yoga is much more than this. Yoga hands you the tools for developing your inner world, so to become for example, a more, loving, more creative, or more confident person. It brings you closer to the secret forces of nature. Eventually, Yoga can make you a master of your own destiny and grant you knowledge of the Truth.

Our purpose is to offer support and clear, inspiring guidance to today’s spiritual aspirants who wish to reach the highest metaphysical goal of Yoga and spirituality: Enlightenment.

AGAMA YOGA MEXICO

Agama Yoga Mexico is the newest international branch to offer the 24-day introductory First Level Intensive Course. The school is being run in the newly completed ¨El Neem¨ of Mazunte, which is on the Pacific Coast of Southern Mexico, 60 minutes from the famed surfing competition town of Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca State and an hour from safe and easily accessible Huatulco Airport (HUX). Agama Yoga Mexico is dedicated to offering the same quality teachings as are offered by founder Swami Vivekananda Saraswati at the Agama headquarters in Thailand, and is being led by a teaching staff who studied and trained directly under his guidance. It is our intention to keep the school running year-round and to offer classes in English with some Spanish translations. In addition, it is our long-term plan to also be able to emit the entire teaching in Spanish and we are periodically even monthly offering Yoga intensives in Spanish.

The Mexico branch which opened its doors in December 2008 through the initial efforts and commitment of Agama Yoga Teacher´s Maribel Gonzalez Tato of Spain/Mexico and Geoff Torkington of the United States is the beginning of a growing movement to bring this system and vision to the Americas and build in the next years an open community where people can come seasonally for up to several months of practice, study and spiritual maturity.

Besides Agama´s core introductory First Month Intensive Certificate Course, Agama Yoga Mexico also offer a 3 month curriculum (level 1,2,3).  In addition, 5 to 10 day silent meditation retreats (from December, 2009) and Yoga Intensives (English and Spanish) are in the plans and some of them scheduled already..

Finally, one of the primary purposes of this school is to make the teachings available to all and for this reason we have purposefully chosen a price which is one of the most affordable here in Mexico. We invite you to join us for what we consider amazing teachings in an absolutely phenomenal location!
