YOGA CLASSES / SERVICES OFFEREDThe Art of Letting GoYoga, like success, is an inside job. Yoga teaches us to journey inside and become an observer, showing us how to be relaxed yet alert, and through yoga we practice the art of letting go.The word YOGA can conjure images of twisted poses and unattainable contortions while standing on ones head. Yet, whether the pose is simple or complex, the key to unlocking the secret of yoga lies in breathing. How we breathe affects us on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It is truly amazing that even when there is a challenge on one or more of these levels, the body continues to breathe itself quietly. Recently, someone shared that her adult daughter, while in intensive care, desperately tried to attract the nurses attention. The nurse arrived and inquired how she could help. The daughter replied, I just want you to breathe with me. To be in touch with this vital physiological process is to increase ones awareness of life and living. We can increase awareness not only for ourselves, but also for others. And at a crucial time, we can be there for another, breathing with them, calming their mind and body, with or without words. The process of dying naturally involves letting go gradually and involuntarily. During full body relaxation in yoga, called corpse pose, letting go is voluntary. Awareness of the environment and the body is withdrawn as consciousness is moved from the senses, to the sensations of the body, to the breath, and to the mind. There, in the mind, we may find fears, hopes, desires and regrets, and in time we learn to let these come and go. We remain undisturbed as we observe the mind. And what is there to witness beyond the mind? Beyond the mind we experience resting in our own nature. Yoga poses reduce tension in the body,massage internal organs, increase flexibility, develop strength and balance, as well as enhance the function of the systems in the body. When we bring an attitude of exploration to the poses, a lets see whats there attitude, we leave no room for tension caused by expectation and fear. Then we can enjoy yoga, as we learn the Art of Letting Go.
