BENEFITS

 Benefit of Regular Practice of Yoga Poses and Deep Breathing:

Through practice, the breath becomes even and rhythmical, the mind focused and calm.  This naturally creates a harmonious inner state, the firm foundation of meditation.

Daily classes focus on poses and integration with deep relaxation, rhythmic breathing, concentration, and meditation.  Each part is integral to the practice. As you listen to the body, using the slow, deliberate movement of yoga poses, you gain a strong core body, providing benefits that range from better sleep to more energy and strength. Stay with the sequence led by the teacher. If needed, a modified pose will be given.  Use your inner guidance to honor what is best for you.

The closing deep relaxation is essential to fully absorb the benefits of the practice.  Class concludes with the palms placed together at the heart saying "Namaste," that is, "I honor the place in you where we are both one."
