Invitation

“Hi, I’m James Traverse, and I lead Being Yoga sessions for spiritual awakening and lasting peace. Unlike conventional yoga that focuses solely on physical postures, Being Yoga engages your energy body to create profound inner transformation. Through mindful awareness, you’ll cultivate present-moment focus that transcends everyday distractions and develops insights to see beyond life’s superficial appearances. Drawing from the precise alignment of Iyengar Yoga and the powerful breathwork of Classical traditions, I guide students to harmonize their vital energies, foster deep inner calm and balance, and seamlessly integrate physical practice with awakening consciousness. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, deeper meaning, or true spiritual freedom, Being Yoga offers a complete, natural path home to your authentic self and lasting happiness.”
Mission Statement
To guide sincere seekers toward spiritual awakening and lasting peace through Being Yoga—a natural, holistic practice that honors the energy body as the gateway to transformation. By integrating the physical precision of Iyengar Yoga with the breath-centered wisdom of Classical traditions, we create a complete path that transcends mere physical fitness.
Our mission encompasses five essential dimensions of awakening:
Mindful Awareness – We cultivate present-moment focus that allows students to transcend everyday distractions and anchor themselves in conscious presence.
Inner Peace – We teach practices that foster deep calm and balance within, creating a foundation of serenity that remains stable amidst life’s challenges.
Energy Alignment – We offer techniques to harmonize the body’s vital energies effectively, unlocking the natural flow of prana and vitality.
See Illusion – We develop insights that enable students to see beyond superficial life appearances, recognizing the deeper truth of existence.
Spiritual Integration – We seamlessly combine physical practice with awakening consciousness, ensuring that yoga becomes a lived reality rather than merely an exercise routine.
Through authentic leadership, compassionate guidance, and dedication to the natural flow of consciousness, we empower students to discover their true nature, cultivate happiness independent of external circumstances, and awaken to the peaceful presence that lies at the heart of all existence. We serve those ready to move beyond suffering into the freedom of their essential being, offering a transformative journey toward lasting peace and genuine spiritual liberation.
