KEEP IN BALANCE
Keeping you in balance, relieving muscle aches, restoring peace and calm to your life, allowing you deeper breathing, toning and strengthening of the body, gaining greater range of motion in hips and shoulders, perhaps even helping you to rehabilitate after an injury; Yoga can assist with all of this!
THE NATURE OF YOGA
The elements of nature are as integral to us as the oxygen we breathe. Elements of earth, air, fire, and water comprise the essence of who we are. We weave these elements into our yoga practice by exploring the chakra system, yoga philosophy, mudras and mantras, meditation, herbal allies as well as body systems, and the energetic principles of alignment and organic energy.
The Nature of Yoga provides a very profound connection to the heart. It promotes alignment of the bones and muscles of the body, so that the physical body may return to its original template. The spine may adjust into alignment, the muscles begin to tone and support the shape of the body. The energy body shifts, and the chakra system begins to open and breathe more easily. Come join us for practice that will inspire you!
