Yoga is an ancient practice that allows the practitioner to begin a path of introspection into their life, health, and peace of mind. The conceptual part of the study is built on understanding the interconnectedness of all things. The physical part (what happens in classes) takes the body through various shapes and movements to all the joints, muscles groups, ligaments, bones, brain and breath to inspire the body to seek its own harmonious balance and quiet state.
Yoga is not one size fits all, or a no pain no gain workout. The practice of yoga is intended to aid the body/mind/sensory complex to find and stabilize it’s own healthy design. Yoga is not a competitive sport or an aesthetic form regimen like dance. The purpose of a yoga practice is to enhance each individual’s life experience. Anybody can begin or continue to practice at any age or stage of health, but practicality and compassion for the needs of the body should be considered.
