Yoga
Many
people practice yoga as an exercise for the physical body. This is great! You
will derive the physical benefits: be it strengthening muscles, increasing
range of motion by opening (stretching), losing weight, or increasing the
function of your internal organs. However, you have the option, if and when you
feel comfortable, to explore the full benefits of yoga, those for the mind,
emotions, and the soul!
Explore
the meaning of yoga: Connecting your Finite Self (mind and body) with your
Infinite Self (soul) so that you experience yourself as the fabulous, amazing
being that you are!
Your
body awareness will be deepened and you will find yourself feeling more calm,
self-disciplined, have more mental focus, and contentment! The whole body
becomes in-sync and functions optimally. The benefits are endless!
My
yoga classes compose of three elements for maximum benefits:
Pranayama
(breathing techniques
Asana/Kriya
(physical exercises)

"In Kundalini Yoga the most important
thing is your experience. It goes right to your heart. No words can replace
your experience. Your mind may accept the words or it may not, but your
consciousness will not accept just words."

Outdoor
Yoga which could potentially be
hot yoga depending on the weather. Experience increased detoxification as you
liberate even more sweat to cleanse your body.
Restorative
Yoga is a very centering and calming
practice beneficial for practitioners during
challenges or times of stress. We
strengthen the nervous system in order to better respond to stress. We make use
of props (pillows, blankets, blocks) whereby those who are ill, injured,
experiencing stress, or differently-abled can practice with little or no strain
but still gain access to the benefits of the practice. Positions are held for a
longer period of time and are executed slowly and mindfully. We practice
different types of mindfulness and meditation throughout the class.
Yin
Yoga a nourishing practice that
complements a busy yang lifestyle, nurturing calmness and balance for the mind,
body, and spirit. Yin involves long held poses on the mat. Props
support your body so that your muscles release tension and you can delve deep into
the connective tissues of the body. Awareness is explored, compassion is
cultivated, and deep healing is liberated.
Yin
and Meditation: a deep yin
stretch followed by a brain strengthening meditation.
