Yoga is not just stretching

 There are several different structures that allow the student to enjoy a rewarding yoga experience. 

1. Tissue Preparation 

Begin any physical activity (including massage) with tissue preparation using the Pranayama, "Om"-ing, Energy Healing Theta breath. 

2. Restorative Practice

A practice to restore and nurture. Excellent for people with health challenges, be it physical or mental. They are exactly what they say, restoring the reservoirs of the body/mind. Rejuvenating with very little physical exertion. 

3. Vinyasa (Flow/Power Yoga) Practice

Used as a warm up or practiced for their own sake. Excellent aerobic, isometric exercise that raises the body's energy, coordination, and mental acuity. 

4. Asana Practice

Practiced to increase opening of the body/mind, develop focus, and patience. Asanas are tools for heightened consciousness and health, rather than a goal to attain. 

5. Pranayama Practice 

Can be used as a practice on its own to increase lung capacity and heal depression that raises the overall life force.

6. Meditation Practice

Deeply healing without exerting physically can be used to attain clarity, focus, and altered states of consciousness.

7. Living Movement

Movement that can be used within a normal yoga practice or on its own that also incorporates breath and sound.   

8. Private Yoga/Thai Yoga Therapy 

One on one therapeutic partner yoga practice (should only be practiced by a qualified Thai Yoga Therapist who is certified through a reputable source).

One of my favorite things I've recently cherished

       I used to believe if someone did a "pretty" pose and it was super advanced, then I would be fit and healthy. Wrong. Yoga is so much more than just being able to look instagram worthy and attaining a flat stomach.         Yoga is a process of confronting your own limitations being able to challenge and overcome them. I have never had upper body strength, core strength, or even great balance. I practiced and practiced Vrksasana (tree pose) until I got it right. I learned how to allow myself to trust myself. This was HUGE for me. By learning this, I can stand anywhere, away from a wall and balance because I learned to allow. Also, I perfected my ardha chandrasana (half moon) asana on my right side. I am still practicing it on my left side because I'm not as strong on my left. I don't have to use any assistance because I practiced so much. I learned from that asana that certain things take time. Focus in the moment and be present. That...

Yoga Asanas and the Gunas

       The 3 Gunas (Rajas, Sattva, and Tamas) are three ways that Shakti manifests herself into the physical plane. They are the three energies that govern anything happening here in the physical plane. Furthermore, the Gunas are present in the temperament and approach we use in a pose or series of postures. In a flow or vinyasa, the nature of the Gunas is more rajasic because we move forward and backward on our mats. When it flows effortlessly, it becomes a Sattvic meditation. When we are attempting a balancing pose, we are approaching it moving from Tamas to Sattva.        It is important to recognize the gunas themselves will vary in degree depending on movement, type of posture, and the type of breath you bring to it. The Gunas are manifested through Shakti and illuminated by Shiva. Rajas /Rajasic Energy        Rajas currents, movements, or feelings are spirals seen from side to side with a forward/backward, inward...

Beginning a Yoga Practice

       When beginning your own yoga practice, it is important that you have a positive mindset, positive intentions, healthy diet, and allow yourself to grow in all areas of your life. Growing emotionally, spiritually, and physically in a positive direction can be a wonderful experience in this lifetime.         One of the most important things to note is what an asana truly is. Asana is the sanskrit word meaning posture. The actual intention behind the word asana is "a state of being , steady, and joyful". Asana postures are methods of working with one's body in order to prepare it for future spiritual development, mental, and physical stability. Also, they help increase focus and open up the conversation within the energetic structures of the human being. There is more to our lives than the physical plane. Each asana has its own risks, benefits, correct sequencing, lines of energy movement, and alignment to the 3 Gunas : Rajas , Tamas...
