“Yoga is not a work-out it is a work-in, and this is the point of spiritual practice to make us teachable to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are.”
~Rolf Gates
A Profound Way of Life
Yoga is more than just a physical exercise; it is a way of life and a profound philosophy. While in Western culture, yoga is often seen as a workout practice, it includes much more. Physical movement, known as asana, is just one of the eight limbs of yoga. Yoga offers a holistic path to perceive, experience, and enjoy life, integrating mindfulness, breath-work, ethical principles, meditation, and self-realization. It is a transformative journey that goes beyond the mat, nurturing the body, mind, and spirit.
The Essence of Yoga
yuj = yoga = union
The word “yoga” has its origins in the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which translates to “join” or “unite.” This ancient spiritual discipline traces back over 5,000 years to the land of ancient India. It encompasses a holistic practice that unifies the body, mind, and spirit, fostering harmony and balance. Yoga is a pathway that allows us to intimately connect with the essence of creation and experience life in its interconnectedness.
Awakening Oneness with the Universe
Through the practice of yoga, we cultivate awareness, mindfulness, and a deep sense of unity with all that exists. It helps us encourage a profound connection to the world around us and awakening a sense of oneness with the universe.
Embracing Oneness with the Universe
Yoga weaves a profound tapestry, interlacing body, mind, and spirit in harmonious dance, as we embrace a profound connection with the universe. Through deliberate postures, each breath, and meditative mind, our journey unwind. Boundaries dissolve, revealing a unity that courses through all existence, bringing profound serenity and cosmic harmony within.
"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” ― Max Ehrmann
