breathing techniques, we are encouraged to explore our own needs, our own bodies, and our own minds and then adapt the movements to our individual uniqueness.
A basic Yoga principle that is always encouraged in the classes is to release competition. And as we learn to let go of the competition both within ourselves and with others, we begin to open up more space to honestly explore our deeper self. To get to know who we are in our essence, to walk the path to inner growth and peace of mind.
And with this discovery, and with on-going inquiry, we begin to understand more than each asana is a step on the journey of life. The understanding becomes experiential and we can feel it deeply, helping us to feel more empowered and relaxed.
We invite you to join these small and comfortable, restorative classes. Enjoy the movements, the growth, the deep relaxation and the deep breathing - all of which are remarkable antidotes to stress.
Yoga is for everyone, regardless of background, age and physical condition.
