The meaning of namaste.
Namaste, derived from Sanskrit, means "I bow to you" and is used to honor the inherent goodness in every person. For us at Cafe Namaste, it represents the respectful and mindful interactions we aim to cultivate in our community. It’s a reminder to greet each other with sincerity and open hearts.
Mindful of Yoga's Roots
Being mindful of yoga's roots, we are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of yoga by being transparent about our offerings. While we incorporate wellness experiences that include yoga, we strive to honor the true essence of yoga by distinguishing between asana (the physical practice) and the broader philosophy of yoga.
We intentionally avoid trends that dilute these traditions, such as goat yoga or beer yoga, to ensure our practices remain respectful and honor the timeless wisdom originating from India.
Additionally, we prioritize learning and understanding by featuring guest teachers whenever possible. This allows us to invite unique insights and knowledge into our community, enriching our collective experience of yoga and wellness as a whole.
