What is Atha?
Atha is sometimes confused with “Hatha” which is a type of yoga asana (pose practice) style.
“Atha” is the first word of the Yoga Sutras, the main philosophical text that shares this practice in a holistic way. It was written an estimated 5000 years ago by Master Patajali, from South East Asia, or India as we know it today.
I’ll share with you the first sutra, now…
“Yoga Sutra 1.1: Atha Yoganusasanam”
Translated to:
“Now, I will review for you how to become whole”
Oh, doesn’t that sound nice? A review. Meaning you already know. This text and practice awakens an inherent wisdom in each of us. How to become whole… a return to wholeness.
Here’s another of my favorite translations…
“Now, I will share with you the philosophy, science, and practice of yoga”
Meaning this isn’t all “woo woo”… it not understood only by pontificating on the nature of the universe and philosophizing. It’s a science, meaning people have tried and tested this. And it’s a practice. Meaning there’s instruction on how to actualize this into everyday living.
Did you notice the first word in each translation?
It’s, Now.
Now. Now. Now. It’s never not now. The new now, is NOW!
Atha is the power of presence, and an invitation to practice and commit.
Atha is a welcome statement to learn.
Atha is a way in and acknowledgement of a lineage of teachings, a gratitude for all the teachers that have come before.
Atha is an invitation into seeing one another in the moment as perfect teachers for our return to wholeness.

I’m humbled and grateful to have had the privilege of learning this path and to teach from my study and experience.
I hope you’ll join this path (or any path that brings you to wholeness!)
Personal, professional, and relational growth can enhance our lives so much.
Come however you are, from wherever you are.
I trust you’ll find the right guides and guidance along the way.
I also look forward to our paths crossing if it aligns for a training, class or retreat. Contact me for custom programs.
