The Sri Yantra

The purpose of this page is to present the Sri Yantra which students
& visitors will notice in various places around the Hampton Yoga Centre.



The Sri Yantra is one of the most significant pieces of visual art to emerge from Ancient India. There are many speculations as to its age and meaning. Its beauty is undeniable and attempting to produce it will reveal the artistry of the geometry. It has been estimated by some to predate the pyramids and connections have been drawn between it and the sacred sound OM, its angles have been compared with the geometry of the great pyramid and its proportions have been compared to the structure of Indian music.

Simply sitting and gazing at the centre of the piece is enough to generate a sense of calm and relaxation as the almost holographic nature of the lines begins to become apparent. It is often used as an aid to meditation.
