Is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy, focussing on meditation. In India, Yoga is seen as a means to both physiological and spiritual mastery. Outside India, Yoga has become primarily associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of Hatha Yoga (see Yoga as exercise).
Yoga as a means of spiritual attainment is central to Hinduism (including Vedanta), Buddhism and Jainism and has influenced other religious and spiritual practices throughout the world. Hindu texts establishing the basis for yoga include the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and many others.

MontezumaYoga
Montezuma is a small charming village on the Peninsula de Nicoya in Costa Rica. I fell in love with this place already 1991, when I traveled through Costa Rica. Many things have changed since then, but it is still a small international community that kept its charme.
I have been inspired to do this page by all the amazing students that passed through Montezuma and my yoga classes during the last year.
It just blew me away how powerful the connection Yoga really is. To look into a group of smiling and open faces at the end of class is an amazing gift and experience. I am grateful for everyone of you who shared Yoga with me and made me grow as a teacher. Many of you joined after class at the pool where we exchanged stories and infos on Yoga. I am very happy to offer these on my website. I hope you will enjoy browsing through the site and will find some inspiring and/or practical information for your yoga practice.
If you are new to this site and planning to visit Montezuma I hope you will find the info you are looking for and we’ll meet one day at the pavillion.
