Yoga is not a class. It is a way of living. How we eat, walk, work, study, relate to others, meet difficulty, and care for ourselves are all part of the practice.

Yoghism is the synthesis of the many paths of yoga into one coherent whole, each supporting the others and moving toward a single aim: union. 3Y Yoga understands practice this way: not as something separate from daily life, but as a discipline that brings the whole of life into alignment.

Yoga has eight limbs, and they are not a menu. They are a sequence, each preparing the ground for what follows. 3Y Yoga follows this order deliberately, making practice concrete, disciplined, and honest. Progress is not a feeling; it is a state that can be observed and cultivated.

At Golden Drum, yoga is not a class we offer on the side. It is part of our lineage. Our living form of this practice is 3Y Yoga, drawn from the foundational teaching of Yug Yoga Yoghismo by Dr. Serge Raynaud de La Ferriere and practiced here in Greenpoint.
