My Story

What is Yoga? State of union between two opposites - body and mind; individual and universal consciousness; a process of uniting the opposing forces in the body and mind in order to achieve supreme awareness and enlightenment, from the Sanskrit era meaning "to join together or yoke"; a system of techniques to enable the joining of the physical and emotional/spiritual bodies.

Yogic Breath (Pranayama) ●The breath is foundation of yoga practice. ●Benefits are numerous: better sleep, feeling calmer and centered, ability to navigate intense emotions ●Good breathing activates our parasympathetic nervous system (“calm and connect system”) ●Begin to unite mind and body: o Breath (or Relaxing Breath): Breathe in for count of 4, hold the breath for 7 and release with a sigh for 8 counts.

Meditation ●Meditation can help ease stress and anxiety ●Objective is not to make thoughts stop but rather to observe and let go ●Tips for starting and maintaining a meditation practice: o Start with a few minutes each day and increase from there o Connect with a group to practice with o Use a Mantra: “Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment.” - Thich Naht Hahn o Walking Meditation: Walk mindfully (without a destination) for 5 minutes and notice sensations in and around you o Just remember that the key to meditation ….
