You cannot do yoga.  Yoga is your natural state.  What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state.  ~Sharon Gannon

 Mindful Yoga of Breath

        

Dear Friends!


You are invited to join me for this 10 sessions  course starting on March 4, 2012


Over the course of ten weeks we will work in a small group to explore a number of yoga asanas while giving special attention  to breath and pranayama.


Each yoga asana is approached with care and compassion, with full awareness of breath and body sensations.  We will hold each pose for a period of time, so that we can fully appreciate its subtle effect on the flow of energy in our body, as well as allow our body enough time to begin a process of opening. We will also explore a number of breath techniques (pranayamas) to further deepen our experience in yoga asanas, to energize and calm the mind and body and to move us closer to the state of bliss and balance.


Mindful yoga is ideal for those who want to experience yoga as a spiritual practice, not merely as a physical workout.


In this style of yoga, the work with the mind is as important as working with the body. The result is a deeper experience of mind-body connection, inner peace and health.
