Here to bridge the gap between inspiration and actualization ....... until the two are One. 

WHAT is Bridge the Gap Yoga (BTGY)? 

​

The ancient technologies of Yoga have been used for thousands of years to maximize human potential. It is through the use of these technologies that we bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science to help you step into your true identity as a whole human being, empowered to live the life you are meant to live.

​

What do we do....?

 

To empower each individual to embody their fullest expression, the Bridge the Gap Yoga school uses practices, techniques and methods that have been time-tested and validated for their efficacy at maximizing human potential. We are after real human spiritual transformation. Embodied spiritual disciplines such as a principle-based yoga practice increases our sensitivity; vocal tools such as music, singing and chanting amplify the qualities of deep listening and human expression; ritual and ceremony boost our devotion; the deep silence of meditation refines our competency of inner stillness; and community comes together to connect us all and remind us of our authenticity and our humanity. All of these things blend together to create the BTGY system. This creates the proper environment for profound transformation to occur. We are determined to inspire people to do the ‘work’.

 

What is the 'work'...?

 

The work we do is centered around Presence, which is the merge of our perception with the immediate environment. This is a result of a nervous system that is tuned to the Here-Now moment. Everything we are doing at BTGY is designed to enhance the functioning of the nervous system. This system functions within the spectrum of two fundamental qualities: sensitivity and stillness. We can do practices to help us develop these spiritual competencies, and thus we can learn how to hold space for life while also being creatively engaged in it. This provides the space for inspiration to birth itself. This is how we digest the unresolved material of the past and as generate a new future for ourselves, instead of repeating our patterns and habits. We do this by refining our capacity to be Here-Now. We do this by cultivating Presence. In Presence, the light of our evolutionary self shines forth. 

 

HOW...?

​

Based on the practicality of ancient wisdom sciences, the BTGY school has Four Pillars for its foundation. Successful efforts rely upon the proper progression of these qualities. The Four Pillars can be observed by noticing the key components behind any success in life. As we are each our own life scientist, we wish to refine our abilities in each category.

​

- Willingness: any effort begins with the willingness to change something.

- Knowing: once we are willing, we must investigate how we will change. 

- Doing: once we know how, we must take action. 

- Becoming: once we have taken action, we observe ourselves becoming. 

​

This is a modern synthesis of the Four Paths of Yoga, as they are classically defined. These Paths (Margas) are known as Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, and Raja Yoga, and they each have specific associated practices that we explore at BTGY. You can read more about these paths here.

 

WHY?

 

We believe that each human being has an innate urge to maximize their potential in this lifetime. There is a need on the planet today to restore harmony between the various systems of our being. Each one of the Four Pillars and corresponding Margas is designed to develop these systems through refining specific aspects of the heart, mind, and body of the yogin. This development extends into the world around us. We wish to offer specific opportunities to explore these ancient sciences in order to restore the natural harmony between ourselves and our environment.
