Yogam Yoga, Yogam Yoga, 7 Haraldene Road, Glenwood, Durban (2026)

Yogam Yoga classes in Durban is run as a seva (selfless-service) charity spreading the message of kindness and compassion to the world. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit term for union, whence we get the English word 'yoke', to link things together. Whereas yoga is seen often as a type of sport or fitness experience, its origins are in meditation and self-knowledge. Whatever your religious, spiritual or philosophical preferences and experiences, yoga is intended as a practice that helps create harmony and deeper understanding of the relationship between body, mind and spirit. A steady yoga practice can help us deal with stress, life challenges, our sense of purpose and self-worth, and provide an opportunity to commune with life and higher energy - if that is what we seek. The aim of BMB Yoga is to provide access to a holistic yoga practice for the people of Cape Town and Durban, open to our own cultural and religious diversity. Definition of Yogam and Yoga

We have chosen the Sanskrit word ‘Yogam’ to describe our Yoga because it is loaded with meaning. Amongst other definitions, Yogam can mean the following and demonstrates the ethos of Yogam Yoga:

Self-Realisation
Bg 2.53, Bg 7.1

Is our ultimate aim to discover our true self (atman), which is not the mind or the body, and thereby real yoga or union takes place between us and our own understanding of infinite consciousness. Yoga
SB 3.33.35, SB 4.1.49-52, Bg 6.11-12

The word 'Yoga' come from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. As per yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man and nature. Science of one’s relationship to the Supreme
Bg 4.1

Yoga has no religious affiliation. In fact, in the Sutras of Patanjali (seen as the definitive text of yoga written over 2500 years ago, there is one reference to God. Patanjali states that ‘Ishvara pranidhana’ is the last of the Niyamas or the duties directed towards ourselves - inner observances. Ishvara refers to all-pervading consciousness; pranidhana means to surrender. Together, these words may be translated as ‘trustful surrender to God’. This niyama is not a process of defeat or of mindlessly submitting to another’s will. The eightfold yoga system
Bg 6.3

Ashtanga yoga or raja yoga is the 8-step yoga system is Patanjali's classification of yoga, as set out in his Yoga Sutras. He defined the eight limbs as:

Yama – abstinences (non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, sexual restraint & non-possessiveness)
Niyama – observances (purity, contentment, perseverance, study of oneself, contemplation of Ishvara)
Asana - postures
Pranayama – breath control
Pratyahara - withdrawal or the energy of the senses
Dharana - one-pointed concentration
Dhyana - meditation
Samadhi - absorption or bliss

The eight limbs form a sequence from the outer to the inner. Postures, important in modern yoga, form only one limb of Patanjali's scheme only; he states only that they must be steady and comfortable. Devotional Service (Karma Yoga)
Bg 5.5, Bg 5.1, Bg 12.11

It is the practice of selfless action performed for the benefit of others. Karma yoga is a path to reach moksha (spiritual liberation) through work. It is rightful action without being attached to fruits or being manipulated by what the results might be, a dedication to one's duty, and trying one's best while being neutral to rewards or outcomes such as success or failure. We firmly believe seva or service through our compassion for others and a genuine desire to uplift those around you.

This is an amazing course. Highly recommended.

Namaskar from Durban, South Africa.

After 25+ years based in Southeast Asia, I am happily centered here – and the work goes super well.

Now I want to warmly invite you to our annual one-month Ananda Marga Yoga-Naturopathy Training in Ananda Nagar, India in September.

Ananda Nagar is such an ancient holy place — that if there were a global championship for spiritual atmosphere, it might just take first prize 😄

Yoga-naturopathy is practical, logical, and easy to apply. That’s why our 200+ graduates now serve communities around the world 🌍 — including new work in South Africa, Russia, and Brazil.

🌞 Health: For many, this month is a turning point. Participants often experience major improvement — and frequently full relief from symptoms.

🕉️ Spiritual Growth: Every graduate says the same — deep inner growth happens naturally here. We also spend substantial time in ta**ra piithas, sacred sites of yogic self-realization.

📅 Dates for 2026: September 20 – October 20

💰 Finances tight? Please don’t worry. We will adjust the fee as you need — your presence is what matters.

⚠️ Only space for 16 trainees.
