On a yogic, emotional and spiritual level, the practice of yoga encourages us to explore...
Yoga practice cultivates a lightning and stilling of the mind we call the "relaxation response" state that is associated with a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and decreased levels of chronic stressor hormones. The physiological state is also associated with decreased risk for heart disease and stroke, improved mood, decreased anxiety, and increased mental alterness.
Yoga also provides a phenomenal full-body strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular workout. It can literally transform your bodies and its abilities, improve your ability to live a more function, pain-free life, and further reduce your risk of a wide array of life-limiting or ending diseases.

- Grounding-Taking a moment to stop and to be present in your life in the here and now, to slow down to evaluate what's immediately important to you without looking back or foreward.
- Finding flow- Learning to move more smoothly through life, evaluating obstacles, finding solutions, taking charge and acting with integrity.
- Connecting to power- Discovering and cultivating the fortitude to take the risks that we need to take in life, digging deep down within and connecting to our own internal source of power... Whatever that may be for you.
- Opening the heart- Creating space for the sensations and emotions of life, joy, love, grief, etc, to blossom, embracing all the seasons of our experiences, learning to give of ourselves as well as to receive, cultivating a connection to the community.
- Expanding your horizons- Engaging in an exploration of life and myriad of possibilities, thinking out of the box, creating our own future, visualizing and opening to our dreams, reaching beyond the mundane circumstances of our existence, learning to incorporate an element of spirit into our lives. Creating a vision and believing in the manifestation of that dream.
