Yoga is an eastern method of mysticism whose aim is to reunite one with their eternal Atma or spiritual self. Yoga is a Sanscrit word meaning "union", implying one's reunion with the divine. There are eight different levels of this art taught in the far east, and four different systems or types of Yoga. The Essene Nazarean Church of Mount Carmel employs all four major forms of Yoga, as well as all eight levels found within each of these four major forms, as part of its overall spiritual program of self perfection and illumination and incorporates them into what's called Essene Yoga.

Mantra Yoga consisting of two levels called Yama and Niyama, is employed by the Essene Nazarean Church of Mount Carmel to help those living in the world to begin to weane themselves from its attractions.

Hatha Yoga consists of practices designed to help those gathered out of the world into an ashram community. Its Asana level deals with the purification and perfection of the physical body, and its Pranayama phase deals with breath control and other mind altering techniques.

The Laya Yoga program has two sections. Pratyahara or sensory control, and Dharana or intense concentration.

The Raja Yoga program is for they having gained expertise in the lower Yoga programs, and consists of a Dhyana or meditation level, and a Samadhi or ecstatic bliss level.

Esene Yoga is the Yoga taught by Yeshua. It unites the other forms of Yoga into one grand synthesis.

The Mantra Program, consisting of two levels called Yama and Niyama, is employed by the Essene Nazarean Church of Mount Carmel to help those living in the world to begin to refine their relationship to its values and begin to weane themselves from its many false attractions and from the control it has over ones life.

The Essene yoga taught by Jesus includes aspects of each yoga system, and is presented in a simple, gradient fashion, so that anyone -- even small children -- can practice it.

"The Essene Way" (Essene Yoga) was the spiritual practice taught by Jesus Christ, as revealed in ancient Essene manuscripts. Bhakti, in the center or "heart" of the chart, is the heart of Essene Yoga: all of our other yogic practices are motivated by our Bhakti, our love and devotion for God.
