My mission with Integrated Yoga Healing is to show what a yoga practice truly is and how it can change your life for the better; how it can leave us feeling good all the time….not just for the hour we took a class. Yoga was not created to be a fitness routine, but a whole body-mind (& soul, should you want it) healing practice. The fancy, impossible poses were intended to help 12 year old boys expel energy, not injure adults, foster competition, and encourage the ego to live front and center.
If we can let go of everything Western culture & corporate money machines (yoga studios & clothing stores, alike) have conditioned us to believe yoga is, we can be open to what it truly is and how profoundly it can help us increase our overall wellbeing and generally live a better quality life.
By design, a yoga practice (all of yoga, not just a physical class of poses) functions to
reduce stress & anxiety, improve physical, mental, & emotional health, create physical & mental strength and stability, improve mobility & cognitive function, & gives us a step-by-step guide to start asking ourselves “Why am I the way I am?”. The first 2 limbs of yoga, to me, are a blueprint to modern therapy. Big claims? Sure. Do I mean them? 100%
There are 8 limbs to yoga, much like the 8-fold path in Buddhism or the 8 pillars of wellness. The yoga poses are only one piece of the whole entire body, mind, & soul puzzle.
This is what I teach…the whole spectrum of true holistic wellbeing.
Follow me to keep learning about why and how yoga is an all encompassing practice and a path to a better way of life. Take my classes to find out for yourself.
