About Sangyé

Close to a decade ago, we responded to the need to do things differently- to run a yoga school on our own terms, free of constraints. To run yoga classes and a teacher training that was of higher quality than what was available elsewhere. To offer our lifetimes of practice and teaching to the wider community to help alleviate the human condition.

The name of the studio- Sangye means “awakened”- Clearing the way (sang) of negative factors and the unfolding (gyay) of positive ones. All practices offered are aimed at nothing less than complete liberation for the practitioner and planet universally.

Perhaps physically challenging. Perhaps intellectually stimulating. Perhaps transcending and bypassing the intellect. Perhaps psychologically transformative. We could go on. Truth is, it’s best experienced rather than described. Sure, we could use words to tell you the taste of nectar- or you could just come and experience it for yourself.

Indescribable. Inconceivable. Inexpressible. Yet so readily accessible to all. See you soon.

We offer the following in-person and virtual classes at our space in West London – Vinyasa yoga, Mysore Ashtanga yoga, Yin yoga, Jivamukti yoga, Community yoga classes, SYS Yoga Teacher Training, Workshops from visiting yoga teachers/Tibetan Buddhist lamas.

Sangyé is a Tibetan word, meaning “Awakened”

Sang means ‘awakening’ from the sleep of ignorance, and ‘purifying’ the darkness of both emotional obscurations and cognitive obscurations.

Gyé means ‘opening’, like a blossoming lotus flower, to all that is knowable, and ‘developing’ the wisdom  of omniscience— the knowledge of the true nature of things,
just as they are, and the knowledge of all things in their multiplicity

We chose “school” because we are all constantly students, growing and evolving, in every aspect of life.

The calligraphy seal logo for the school was created by Tashi Mannox. A curated selection of Tashi’s work is also on display at the school. For more info, visit www.tashimannox.com
