What is Yoga?

Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. There is a broad variety of schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. The origins of yoga have been speculated to …

Yoga Practice

Yoga is a practice that connects the body, breath, and mind. It uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health. Yoga was developed as a spiritual practice thousands of years ago. Today, most Westerners who do yoga do it for exercise or to reduce stress

Meditation

Meditation is a practice where an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness, either to realize some benefit or for the mind to simply acknowledge its content without becoming identified with that content, or as an end in itself.

The term meditation refers to a broad variety of practices that includes techniques designed to promote relaxation, build internal energy or life force (qi, ki, prana, etc.) and develop compassion, love, patience, generosity and forgiveness. A particularly ambitious form of meditation aims at effortlessly sustained single-pointed concentration meant to enable its practitioner to enjoy an indestructible sense of well-being while engaging in any life activity.

Life Style

A yogic lifestyle involves shifting our attitudes, habits, diets, thoughts and general ways of life to be more congruent with the philosophies and ethics of yoga. Yogis make lifestyle choices that bring them towards a place of sattva, a state of equanimity and inner peace.

Philosophy

Yoga philosophy teaches moral guidelines, ethical codes, breathing techniques, and internal practices for achieving this union with the Divine.

I am new to your yoga class. It has been a challenge to find a teacher that touches the spirit of what yoga means to me. I had many vinyassa classes and found myself enjoying the music but not the hurried stretch from one pose to the next, missing the time and gentle correction of being able to find and to lean into how the pose fit for me. This takes time to move from one pose to the next putting together what my body has learned from the previous pose into the next pose. I am glad you found this way of teaching. It is what works for my mind and body and brings them together. I am grateful that I can move slowly in your class allowing my body to discover what it needs in each element.

I am very active and energetic and, thankfully, thus far, in good health.  So when I began yoga, I was surprised by the challenge.  The inward focus, the attention to breathing and to the body, the often difficult (for me) poses, were all new to me and out of my comfort zone.  

 Nevertheless, by the end of my first class, I felt a new sense of balance and stability in my normally runaway mind.  After several months of regular practice, I am pleased to confirm that I am still capable of managing new challenges.  I find that when my inner and outer worlds are in sync, the intrinsic goodness of life is more available for my appreciation.

I was suffering from acute lower back pain for quite some time. I came to realize how much additional tension I was accumulating in my body in response to the pain- just the fear of it. Through consistent practice at the studio as well as my own morning and evening routine, I have healed my back.  

It was then that I really got past the back trouble, both psychologically (the fear part) and physically (by learning what stretches are most effective for me).  I’ve stuck with the home practice twice a day ever since. I have realized that yoga helped more than the series of physical therapy appointments my doctor prescribed.  I really credit the gentle, therapeutic body education I am given at Grateful Yoga for this transformation.”

The Main Reasons to Practice Yoga

Increase strength & flexibility

Yoga poses work by stretching your muscles. They can help you move better and feel less stiff or tired. At any level of yoga, you’ll probably start to notice benefits soon. In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35% after only 8 weeks of yoga.

Improves Immune system

Yoga helps lower stress hormones that compromise the immune system, while also conditioning the lungs and respiratory tract, stimulating the lymphatic system to oust toxins from the body, and bringing oxygenated blood to the various organs to ensure their optimal function.

Improves Mental health

Regular practitioners say yoga’s benefits range from improved mood and emotions to muscle tone, endurance and strength. Short daily sessions can improve flexibility, muscle tone, and mental focus.

Balance body and mind

Yoga is an effective form of exercise that helps to balance your mind and body. Not only can regular yoga practice improve your physical health, but it can also help you reduce stress and anxiety levels. Strengthening your body and improving your overall health are just one of the many benefits of yoga.

Build core strength

While all yoga practice will improve core strength, there are a few yoga core exercises and poses that are particularly challenging and can help to build strength quickly. You can weave these poses into your solo yoga practice, or work on them separately to improve core strength. Plank pose (phalakasana)

Improve Quality of life

Yoga brings the body and mind together and is built on three main elements – movement, breathing and meditation. Yoga has many physical and mental health benefits including improved posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.
