About United Yogis Yoga Community

Welcome to United Yogis. The idea for this website was conceptualized during my stay at the Sivananda Ashram & Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas in April 2008. At the ashram, I met and got to know people of different backgrounds, nationalities, religions and circumstances. However the difference, there was a common thread that brought us there and that was the desire to connect with our authentic self through yoga. The guests and staff formed a tight community based on this common desire. There were no judgments, criticism, racism or negative energy. Each person was on a distinct journey yet yoga brought us together. We were also able to learn and grow from each other as we shared painful and joyful experiences.

When I got home, I wanted to create a similar community in the online world - perhaps it's my way of holding on to that experience, but I truly believe that each one of us possesses a great deal of knowledge, insight and love that if we were given such a space, then we could help one another. United Yogis is for all of us - a place where we can network and exchange information. A site by yogis for yogis.

In order to join United Yogis it is not mandatory that you be practicing "yoga" as in the asanas or yoga postures - just as long as you possess a curiosity for life or if you're on a spiritual voyage and are seeking answers, then we welcome you and we'd be honoured if you joined us. Once you're a United Yogis member, we would encourage for you to become an active participant on the site.
