Yoga: to yoke; connection; attach; union of the self with the supreme being or ultimate principle.
Everyone can do it. Even you. Don't be fooled by the misleading culture of Yoga that you may see today. You don't have to be flexible. You don't have to put your leg behind your head, or even stand on your head. You don't have to be in shape. If you can breathe, you can do yoga. I promise.
A yoga practice will serve you on multiple levels - physically, emotionally, mentally, and for many, spiritually. Yoga is a wonderful complement to whatever your primary chosen form of exercise might be. We each have an individual, unique practice, and the practice does not always have the same affect on everyone. It's a journey, a path, an unfolding. It can have a profound affect on your relationship with yourself and with your family, friends, co-workers - everyone you come into contact with.
We live on the periphery of life and the outskirts of our true selves, every day. Frazzled, going, doing, planning, and rarely stopping to focus on the present moment. TRUE joy is experienced in the present, so we have to be present to experience it! With yoga you find that joy, find your center, your inner peace - It grounds you. It's time spent with and for yourself, with no agenda, no judgement. Then you can return to your life, primed and ready and better able to function and do all you have to do.
The physical benefits are countless. It will help sharpen your focus. It will improve your immune system. It will help release emotional baggage that becomes stored in various areas of the body (you've heard of the mind/body connection?) You'll leave class with a sense of ease, lightness, and peace. I call it the Yoga Buzz. And, it's the cheapest form of therapy there is.
You help make the world a better place, each and every time you step on the mat. So, THANK YOU for your practice!
