Yogashala Through the World   

With this project we would like to create conections, build bridges between Yoga schools and Yogis world wide. 

 

We would like to spread out Yoga Dance and mantras (On the path of sOund) in a way of uniting people, everyone vibrating in the same harmony, reaching for spiritual connections.

 

Exchange information and knowledge abought environment education, sustainability and permaculture, understanding how all this is connected with our personal ecology

and intertwines the world of Yoga.

 

We reserved the next three months to interact in Europe and another three months we will be in India working at an Ayurvedic course in Kerala, visiting different ashrams and at the end of the trip participating at a worldwide conference on permaculture. 

​

We are from Florianópolis-Brasil and started this project at Ilha da Madeira Portugal, where we

gave a Yoga class for more then 100 people at Clube Naval do Funchal, with live music and mantras on the International Day of Yoga.
