YOGA
Yoga is the union between the individual self and greater consciousness or awareness, a union with something greater than our singular, limited sense of who and what we are.
“We move from distraction to direction.”
Do you feel perpetually busy inside? Do you notice yourself bought up in thoughts and unable to get a break? Do you find yourself agitated or emotional for no apparent reason? Most people have not developed the ability to become quiet and still inside to understand why they feel the way they feel or think the thoughts that are continually streaming through the brain. If you cannot naturally find balance when you need it most (that would be 99% of us) Yoga will help. Practice becoming less swayed by anxieties, fears, cravings and denial. Learn to become still and discover who you have been, who you are and who you can become each moment. Get to know you you really are while you learn to balance your body and mind. Practice:
• Breathing fully
• Focusing your intention for yourself, for the world
• Balancing effort and rest
• Recognizing wisdom
• Living with intention
• Becoming stronger, more flexible, more balanced
“Client testimonial goes here.”
Yoga is the practice of balancing our internal and external environments. The central methods of yoga are physical postures or asanas and movement, breathing techniques or pranayama and meditation. Asana poses can be seen as points which string together to make a theme of underlying wisdoms, which motivate and bring balance to daily life. Yoga includes guidance on healthy lifestyle, eating habits, mental attitude, and Ayurvedic medicine as part of the Yogic path to health and balance.
“You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.”
Bio: Julie studied Patanjali Yoga in Nepal from 1998-2000. Although she enjoyed many Vinyasa yoga classes from many teachers and studios, she didn’t complete her formal education until 2018 when she joined Rolf Gates in the first POC Yoga Certification in Berkeley, Ca. She received her formal Yoga Alliance Certification, with a focus on meditation. Julie is thankful to Rolf for his dedication to teaching yoga through meditation.
