Yoga By Yvonne
Yoga (योग) is an Indian spiritual path aimed at achieving the union with the Supreme Consciousness.
As Human Beings, we have the natural capacity for self awareness. In order to make good use of this capacity, we must become mindful of what is happening within our own body-mind - our sensations, feelings, thoughts ..as well as our interaction with the world particularly other beings.
Each class works towards strengthening your mind body connection by linking breath with a series of dynamic postures. On route to the main goal the practice will bring about weight-loss, will tone and strengthen the body and give an overall feeling of balance and wellbeing.
It is a class that fully integrates the body, mind and spirit, a class that while strengthening your body you will calm and quiet your mind. A fitness routine based on aesthetics feeds your ego, not your spirit!
“The Goal of yoga is nothing less that to attain oneness …..with ourselves and as a consequence oneness with all that lies beyond ourselves”. B.K.S. Iyengar from Light on Life.
Welcome to 2012...
Yogis ... Can you believe it another year has almost passed and I (and surely not the only one) still have not fully implemented my last New Years resolutions!! But like yoga its all about "setting the intention" ...... So with the intention heres to fulfilling them in the coming year.....!
The classes will resume Monday 9th Jan at 7.15pm in WW in the brand new studio. For all you WW yogis - I really do appreciate your patience as I know the space at the moment is not ideal even with all awareness on breath, dhristi..... its hard to distract ones body from the arctic cross winds!
...........................SATURDAY 10AM CLASS is back from this Saturday ............... WEDNESDAYS 7PM AT URBUN is also back this week..............
Baby Yoga & Massage will resume Thursday 19th January in Foxrock Parish Hall at the usual time of 11.15. Spaces are limited so call or email to book your spot. Its now €90 for 6 class card or €20 drop in.
Yoga For Little People (4+).. is back from Monday 16th January at 3.30 - 4.15 in Foxrock Parish Hall. The course will run in 4 week blocks & is €45 for a 4 class card which can be used over 6 weeks.
According to Patanjali .... " Yoga is a preventative healing art, science & philosophy, by which we build up robust health in body & mind ......"
So at any time do come back to your mat, or if you have never been on a mat let your 2012 resolution be to get on a mat. Regular practice of Yoga really does help the body & mind move with ease through the year.
Please Please Please if you have any suggestions, queries, anything you would like me to focus more / less on do let me know as it is your Yoga time not mine.......
Om Shanti,
Yvonne
