Aging does not automatically mean weakness, pain and degeneration. Through yoga you can tune in to your body and create a life of strength, vitality, flexibility, and relaxation. You can choose to live a more dynamic and inner-directed life. For 5000 years, yoga has been a path to health and living consciously in these bodies we inhabit. Through yoga, we can increase our physical vitality, mental clarity, and heighten our spiritual awareness, regardless of our age or physical condition.
Yoga is a training in listening to our bodies.
By tuning in through awareness of our breath, through conscious movement in the poses and in the transitions between the poses, we can receive an amazing amount of information from our bodies. The stuck places, the places where energy is blocked, cause us discomfort in order to get our attention. Yoga helps you tune in and focus your mind on the area of discomfort or contraction. You can mentally go inside it, breathe into the area, expand it with your breath, then relax, open your mind and ask your body what the stuck area is trying to tell you. Be open to the message.
