Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Namaskar is a Sanskrit word that is used as a greeting of respect. It translates into a hello that equates to, “I humble myself before you,” and is accompanied by the action of holding palms together.
​
Combining traditional yogic values with contemporary style, Namaskar Yoga Studio was designed to create a tranquil, harmonious space to dedicate time for self, and explore the life changing effects of a consistent yoga practice.
​
Our intention is to preserve a peaceful, supportive environment where students are inspired to practice yoga, and find union within and without.
​
Our Vision
We cultivate an environment where people feel safe and comfortable to show up exactly as they are and experience moments of silence, stillness and self-reflection through an engaging and modern approach to yoga and meditation.
Our Values
Gratitude | For the big things and the small things. Every. Single. Day.
We believe that practicing gratitude daily raises our energetic vibration, aligns us with Source and declares to the Universe that we are thankful for all that we already have, and for the unlimited potential and abundance available within us and to us.
Humility | Stay humble while owning your impact.
We believe that teaching yoga/meditation is not a hierarchy but rather, a sharing of knowledge and wisdom from our own professional and personal experience. We celebrate our unique, special talents gifts while staying humble, grounded and detached from the outcome.
Honour | Navigate life with a strong moral compass.
Do the right thing and do your best. We believe that our intentions, words and actions are the foundation of trust.
Kindness | Help others. How can you serve today ? Be kind even when no one is watching. We believe that everyone can be kind.
Self-awareness| Own your shit.
How you show up in the world is a choice. We believe that everyone is responsible for their thoughts, actions and behaviours.
Untameable | Be you – authentic and without apology.
We believe that everyone deserves to remove their armour, take off their masks and release their constructed identity. Why are we here if all we do is hide our true selves?
