Kula is a Sanskrit word describing a community dedicated to exploring and inquiring into the science and practice of Yoga and life. Our intention through practice is to regularly experience our innate wholeness to then promote and support happiness for all beings.

Kula classes, workshops, study groups, karma (service) opportunities, individual sessions and retreats are intended to deepen one's understanding of the historical, philosophical and practical application of Yoga to one's life in the broadest possible context.

The foundation of our teaching understands Yoga in a nondual perspective. We begin with the understanding that there is nothing for us to achieve or become. We are already perfection. We are complete as we are.

We begin with Patanjali's 8 fold path of Raja Yoga and Yoga's original Samkhya Philosophy to question what is, so we may clear away any misperceptions, confusion, and disturbances that occlude our realization of unity consciousness.

Our practice does not lead to a letting go, but to a natural abandonment of the "becoming" process.

A regular diet of Yoga practice reduces stress, quiets the mind, and rejuvenates and tones the body. Students learn to access the breath which informs and supports a welcoming and compassionate attitude both on and off the Yoga mat.

Pointing into stillness,

Katherine Banbury Founder, Director and Teacher of Kula Center for Yoga
