Tatva Yoga

Tattva is a Sanskrit term that describes our  "essential nature." Tattvas are the primary principles, elements, states or categories of existence, the building blocks of the universe.  Often Tattva is translated shortly as "truth".  Tattva Yoga was developed by Pamela Porch using aspects of many styles of Yoga to help each of us find our "essential nature".  She does not believe there is only one path, or one style of Yoga, for every person.  By incorporating some flowing asanas with holding asanas, and using pranayama, bandhas and other Yoga techniques she believes each individual will find a place in the practice where, if even for a second, they touch their essential nature.

Pamela believes Yoga is not just a physical practice, but a technique for self-discovery and personal growth. She includes more advanced meditation techniques, such as Yoga Nidra, deeper Pranayama practices, and energy increasing movements and techniques such as Chi Gung in many of her classes.
