ON BEING A YOGA TEACHERIt's an honor to teach my students a marriage of the spiritual & physical aspects of Yoga, with a focus on proper alignment & peace of mind. |
First Let'sAttune
“As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.”
― B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life |
Now let's WORKAlign
Yoga is a philosophy that teaches the principles of going with life – including how we move. According to Swami Vishnudevananda, proper exercise is actually of the idea: “no pain, no pain”. By practicing the yoga postures not as mere calisthenics, but with awareness of the muscles used, of the breathing, of the relaxation – the mind learns to become detached from the senses little by little and the body strengthens in balance.
