WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga means to unite. You are uniting your breath with the movement of your body, as well as uniting your mind, body and spirit. There is no force, no struggle, no place to get to, just surrendering into the experience, for whatever it may be.

The practice of yoga brings forth an awareness of compassion, and non-judgment. This guided experience will allow you to be your own yoga teacher, where you are free to make any modifications during the class which serve you best.

Each yoga posture brings its own gifts of energy. At the end of each yoga class, we enter into a deep relaxation, which is the time that we take to integrate the energies of the postures that we have experienced; integrating them into the cells of our body to enhance our health, and into the essence of self, which connects us to the divineness of who we really are.


WHY PRACTICE YOGA?
by Stacy Chulli

Learn to practice yoga. Yoga is not restricted to the mat; it is a way of life. Regular practice restores the nervous system, dismantles chronic tension and erases chronic aches and pains. The practice of yoga cultivates conscious awareness, harmony of opposing energies, balance, flexibility, strength and endurance. These principles are principles of life. Learn to bring these qualities into your life.

Taught with an emphasis on correct alignment, the body is the vehicle from which we can develop an intelligence that allows us to go deeper and become aware of the more subtle layers of ourselves. We sharpen our concentration, remain in the present, and transform.

Please join us as we learn to focus inward, be present in our bodies, observe the stillness, breathe, and recharge.
