Our most recent column featured an interview conducted by Susan Gillespie. Her classes in yoga have been taught at the Omaha Yoga and Bodywork Center in Benson for over ten years. Kathleen Wingard is another area teacher who is owner and director of Heritage Yoga Center in Lincoln. She teaches in the Iyengar style, found to be more typical of yoga instruction as practiced on the West Coast. Both schools are open to all levels and are attended by a wide variety of students.
Yoga is an experiential learning.
There is no way to study or learn about yoga other than doing it. Be sure to bring all three to class. Without breath, life is impossible and without breathing with intent, yoga becomes just another physical fitness exercise. And as we have learned in our earlier columns, yoga is the Sanskrit for yoking or union. That union is of the Spirit, Mind and Body.
