Begin where you are.
The forest grows quiet. Attention turns inward.
The meaning of Turiya
तुरीय
Turiya (तुरीय) is a teaching, a reminder, and a transcendental state of non-dual consciousness.
It is the goal behind the asana, the presence beneath the breath, the realisation behind technique.
Teaching yoga is about transmitting consciousness.
Behind every breath, every alignment, every mantra, is a doorway to something already whole within you.
That doorway is Turiya.
Ways to practise
From a single afternoon of focused study to a practice that changes the shape of your year.
