About North East Power Yoga
North East Power Yoga was founded in 2012 as a space for serious practice, disciplined study, and grounded teaching rooted in the classical traditions of yoga and expressed through a modern, accessible lens.
The school was built on the belief that yoga is not simply a physical system, but a complete discipline - one that integrates philosophy, history, ethics, embodiment, and lived practice.
NEPY exists to support students and teachers who seek depth, integrity, and authenticity in their relationship with yoga.
The training programs emphasize:
- classical foundations
- ethical teaching
- embodied awareness
- disciplined practice
- personal responsibility
- mentorship-based learning
- small-cohort education
- real-world integration
This is not a mass-market training model. It is a grounded, relationship-based approach to education and transformation.
