The meaning of Namaste


Namaste" is a greeting used every day in India and in Yoga Studios it is used sometimes at the beginning of class, but most always at the end of class.

Pronounced "Nam-a-stay"

When saying Namaste bring your palms together and place them near your heart while saying "Namaste" and bowing your head.

There are many definitions, but below is a good one I like.


I honor the place in you
in which the entire Universe dwells,

I honor the place in you
which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace,

When you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me, 
we are One.

Namaste!
