Belong

Every living tradition depends upon those who choose to stay.

Teachings survive in books. Traditions survive in people — in those who return, who practice, who carry what they have received and pass it on intact. The Naad Yoga Council exists because, for generations, someone chose to stay.

A young musician in Nairobi.

A physician in Toronto.

An elderly practitioner in Spain.

A professor in Kyoto.

A family that attends one retreat each year.

Do they all carry the Council in the same way?

No

Do they all belong equally?

Yes

That is the architecture of every institution that has endured — not uniformity, but many hands on the same work.

The Turn

There are many ways to carry a living tradition. Every one begins by belonging.

Everyone who joins the Naad Yoga Council becomes a Member. Beyond that, there are different ways to support its continuing work. These pathways do not measure belonging. They simply reflect the many ways people choose, and are able, to help carry the Council into the future.

At any pathway, you may choose to sponsor a membership — making belonging possible for someone you will likely never meet.

Keystone

Financial circumstances should never determine whether someone can belong.

Every member belongs equally within the Council. The pathways of support do not measure belonging. They simply reflect the different ways people choose, and are able, to help carry the Council into the future.

All members retain equal membership and voting rights, regardless of their contribution.

If cost would prevent you from becoming a member, please contact us. We would much rather welcome you into the Council than allow financial circumstances to become a barrier.

Every journey begins with belonging.

Every member contributes differently, but every member belongs equally.

However you choose to walk with the Council, you will always be welcomed as an equal member of its community.

We would be honoured to welcome you.
