Yoga is a complete workout for the body, mind and spirit which can
lead to a healthier, more fulfilled and meaningful life. Many people
are first drawn to yoga for the physical aspects, keeping the body
fit, supple and comfortable to live in; others come seeking relief
of a specific ailment or disease. Still others come looking for a
deeper meaning to life. Whatever your reason may be, yoga is an instrument
for you - giving you what you are looking for and so much more.
The practice of yoga seeks to bring balance and peace
to the body, mind and spirit and to bring us closer to our true essence.
Yoga combines all the movements that you need for physical health
with breathing and meditation to ensure peace of mind and self-realization.
Yoga is a tool for self control over the body & mind. Once you
start to realize this self control, there is literally no limit to
what your spirit can achieve!
It would be virtually impossible to list all the many benefits
recieved from a regular yoga practice. In recent years, medical
research has begun to pay closer attention to the effects of
yoga.
The style of yoga I generally teach is Hatha which combines
postures which bring the mind to withdraw from the outside world
with controlled breathing and bringing thoughts inward, focusing
on the breath as you move from one pose to the next letting
the breath move you into the next pose. This leaves both body
and mind at ease as you finish up the practice with a short
meditation at the class ending.
A regular conscious yoga practice will leave
you refreshed and revitalized!
