The Yoga Institute of Living Wisdom is an institute for higher education based on the spiritually unitive principles contained in the word yoga. The Institute offers students not only the information and tools they need for achieving success in today's world, but also the subtler understanding that is becoming increasingly necessary today for people to live as complete human beings. Completeness may be described as including, physically: balance, fitness, and energy; mentally: focus, clarity, and intuition; and spiritually: direction, serenity, inspiration, and higher guidance.

These objectives provide the essential foundation for all aspects of the Institute. All our degree offerings approach their topics from this unitive perspective. The faculty, in addition to their academic qualifications, have a long history of involvement with these principles through their personal practice of yoga.
