Re-program your mind & body

Feedback and guidance from a caring and experienced teacher is of vital importance, giving insight into how one has become used to doing things by conditioning and habit. When one feels (at first awkwardly) that there are other ways of moving, breathing, etc., one’s whole being is opened up to new possibilities.

We can either accept or reject advice from outside sources, based our own biases and past experience. But when the body and mind feels what it’s like to get outside the habitual “box” we keep them in— our assumed “comfort zone”— then we have the opportunity to try new strategies, coming to know in a deep and visceral way what our true potential looks like.

We can all get stuck in counterproductive patterns, both physically and psychologically. Yoga is the art of getting “un-stuck.”

Yoga enables you to break through limitations, just like clearing away brush or overgrowth to forge a new path, or picking out rocks and weeds to cultivate fertile ground for new growth.

Yoga practice breaks down deeply ingrained patterns of holding, some of which are largely psychosomatic (perceived limitations that cause us to restrict our own freedom) and others being actual physical blocks like adhesions in the  fascia enveloping and intertwining our musculature. Yoga also addresses countless other physical processes like patterns of bone density, the quality of circulation, lymph drainage, hormonal balance and the relationship between sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympatheric (calming) nervous responses.

Warning: Yoga may cause side effects like mental clarity, motivation and peace of mind.

As Yoga resets our mental and physical holding patterns, the formal practice makes us ever more aware of the quality of our actions in all parts of our lives. Cultivating this yogic awareness inevitably brings newfound freedom and love of life.
