Yogea’s Online Educational Platform 3rd Anniversary

Three years since we launched at the dawn of the water Dragon year in 2012. Shortly after the galactic alignment, right before the new moon…And what a ride it has been!

We started humbly with an Oceanic Breathing and meditation and have been sailing boldly ever since. Today we have over 150 instructional asana routines, meditations, creative visualizations, breathing and mudra practices under our belt. All backed by soundly researched holistic blogs.  All brimming with creative insight and a spirit of innovation. All geared towards making people healthy, happy and free.  All inviting them to dare and peak outside the box…

The box contained all the spiritual clichés – the yolk of “guruship”, labeled styles and commercial trends of “commoditized” Yoga. We dared to open the box…and sent Pandora back into antiquity. We simply unleashed our imagination and drew upon Yoga’s creative power to build visions and forge new horizons.  We led a creative dialogue with all our viewers and subscribers and took their valuable feedback and constructive criticism at heart. Together we blazed a new trail of innovation, offering a creative spin on conventional Yoga. We challenged adopted standards of definition and possibility and “refreshed” ancient wisdom traditions to pacify and enrich our hi-paced and saturated lives.

We rebelled the didactic of “guruship” and shared our humble philosophy of “teach vs preach” – trusting the innate intelligence of everyone to choose among the wide array of tools for wellness and self-transformation that we offered. The spiritual literature and holistic workshops abound with self-help tips and recipes for success. But there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. Every person has different needs, comes from a different background, owns certain knowledge; pursues different goals. We cannot possibly obsess with all the weight-loss diets, adhere to all holistic principles or follow all guidelines for attracting abundance. We can only grow inside and nurture inner judgment to know what’s best for us. We cannot teach or learn spirituality. But rather shed the external shell, so our spirit can shine through.

And that is Yogea’s approach – to nurture the intrinsic nature of everyone, and give people the right of choice to enjoy a meaningful and healthy life. As we generated countless tools for mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing we refrained from giving people concrete tips. We gave them the chance to co-create, to play with us.

We carved our creative niche of designing theme based targeted routines, most of which our viewers requested. Today our colorful palette ranges from targeted routines for lubricating joints and building stamina to spinal and women’s health, mental wellness, weight-loss and toning, detox, prenatal, balancing, system regulation, immune-boosting, energizing and rejuvenating. All routines lovingly tailored to the needs of all levels, ages, interests and times of the day. And all this delivered in a spirit of dedication and curiosity. We were always curious to discover new tools for restoring balance, new ways to structure the routines, new asanas to test, new edges to explore – new ways to think…

We paved a new path of innovation in the 21c Yoga world by launching our INNOVASANA THINK TANK – an asana refinery, where ingenious, multi-purpose poses, twists, binds and modifications were minted.

We honed our singular style in our semi-weekly group classes at Peridance Capezio Center in New York. We nurtured dozens of certified Yoga teachers by leading them through a singular Teacher Training on “Engaged Spirituality” that honors the various arts of Yoga all over the world. We paid our respect to classical yoga by pursuing a monthly Asana Lab series to improve the quality of the practice.  We extended the educational platform for spiritual science into a monthly Mystery School. We experimented with artful yoga fusion in our Yogea Arts Studio lavishly blending performance, video, photography, martial arts, devotional dance and yoga.

We never missed a Friday blog or video post. Rain or shine, through hurricanes and fire explosions we stayed the course. From the audacious year of the water Dragon, through the sophisticated year of the water Snake and into the novel year of the wooden Horse we are now drumming into the harmonious year of the wooden Sheep. A year that blends pragmatism and lofty spiritual curiosity.  A year that promises expanded creativity and global peace.

And all this thanks to You, all our Yogea viewers, subscribers and followers! Thank you for your unconditional support, honest remarks, valuable feedback and words of encouragement that have gotten us this far.

Be part of our creative revolution and educational reform.

Together we will grow and expand “Outside the Box”!
