Notice the essential value of self, other people and your environment. Respect these above all else. yoggy, div has cherished this concept from the beginning.
Our founder was flying to move to New York September 11, 2001. Her flight was diverted to Alaska, and she would arrive to a New York seven days later devastated by the attack. Shops and restaurants were closed. People were distraught and afraid. People stopped visiting New York. It was a dark time. She discovered yoga at this time. The yoga studios in New York not only stayed opened, but went longer hours and held more cla sses, providing much needed solace and comfort to so many people. She saw in part how yoga and the LOHAS way of living helped to regenerate New York. New Yorkers found (=unity) through yoga. They experienced that all material things that have shape will break and fall asunder someday.
However, the inner core, the beauty we cannot see is always there. This is how our company was first conceived.
We value connection (=unity).
All of yoggy div.'s staff is committed to this ideal.
