| Yoga is at least 5,000 years old and comes from India. It is not a religion, but it is a spiritual practice, one that will help you know yourself better and ultimately understand more about your connection to spirit/God/Higher Power. The practice we in the West know as yoga, that is, the physical poses and breathing, or "hatha" yoga, is actually only a small part of the total practice of yoga. But it is a fine place to start. There are many different styles of hatha yoga. I have been trained by certified Iyengar teachers across the country. Iyengar yoga, named after a living yoga master in India, is known for its precision, attention to details of alignment, and use of props. Geeta Iyengar, Iyengar' s daughter, pioneered "restorative" yoga, a way of using bolsters, blankets and other props to enable one to hold poses longer and give the body the most benefit. The practice of yoga brings increased flexibility, strength and stamina, and improved concentration. Students have come to my classes for relief from mental and emotional stress, improved energy level and to have fun! |
