Introducing FLY: The FLY Mission Statement and core values

You might have already come across the three letters 'FLY' whilst browsing through our

website. But what do they actually mean and what is their connection to Suryalila? Here's a short introduction:

What is FLY?

Frog Lotus is a Yoga school for teachers. Founded in 2000 by Vidya, Frog Lotus Yoga (FLY) is committed to turning you into a qualified yoga teacher and helping you gain the expertise needed to excel in the future. FLY focuses on teaching a dynamic, creative style of Vinyasa Flow Yoga which is safe and inclusive. The classes begin with pranayama, a long juicy warm-up, some standing flows, inversions (or options), backends, twists, and forward folds.

Did you know that FLY-style dynamic classes are taught every morning by various teachers here at Suryalila?
