About Yoga

	“Yoga…so much more than a physical exercise. It is a practice that raises awareness of body, mind and spirit… Giving the practitioner tools to enhance living on ALL levels.”
yoga…metaphors for living breathing through challenges on and off the yoga mat. Staying in the present moment where life is happening. Using the breath & bodily sensations to keep you in the moment, in and out of class. Doing more that you think you can. Raising ones awareness on & off the mat. Accepting where we are and moving from that place, on the mat & in life. Dropping expectations.	Yoga is not about… Flexibility, athletic ability or competition. It is about… Raising ones awareness, body mind and spirit (in and out of yoga class!). Accepting yourself where you are and working from that place with compassion, love and gentleness. Connecting with your own inner wisdom.
“Yoga practice helps us to experience our ‘authentic self’, which is beyond the ‘self image’.”	Camel Pose
Inner and outer balance are essential elements of Yoga.	“I am a true believer that yoga practice enhances living on so many levels, making it a practice suitable for everyone. Yoga is a practice of awareness, the more aware we become on our yoga mats, the more aware we become in life.”
“Yoga is a Journey not a destination.”	_
