YOGA IS THE SACRED practice which will UNITE your BODY, with your MIND and ultimately, your SOUL. It means "To Yuj"- to bring together and to join in HARMONY. To bring harmony into your LIFE, we must learn how to first~DETACH~ from everything that does not serve us in a nourishing way. We do this by QUIETING the mind and relinquishing THOUGHTS. Yoga will ASSIST you in ACHIEVING this through a series of yoga postures, called asana, INFUSING precise breathing techniques called pranayam or pranayama, as well as a variety of additional HEALING modalities, such as bandhas (internal energy locks), mudras (yoga positions of the hands and fingers, which create an energetic seal in the body), chakra toning (energy centers located along the spine) and nadis alignment (chanels of energy which flow between the chakras), and incorporate them into the yoga session. Students then are able to not only MANIFEST a WELL BALANCED, WELL TONED, FLEXIBILE BODY, but will ultimately feel a profound sense of EMOTIONAL and SPIRITUAL WELL BEING, because they will have incorporated the philosophies of this sacred practice into their daily lives. Practicioners of yoga know the key to the fulfillment in all aspects of their lives because they have DISCOVERED that in taking the 1 or 2 hours out of their busy day to detach from the busy thoughts will make them more PRODUCTIVE and TRANSFORM their thoughts into more USEFUL channels of energy. This newly discovered energy gives them the VITAL TOOLS that they need to create a HARMONIOUS LIFE! Leading a life that is filled with PEACE, with HARMONY, with a light hearted sense of LAUGHTER and with LOVE is the very ultimate path of ENLIGHTENMENT and is a worthwhile endeavor, indeed!

I need to get in touch with the real you, first!
I am now going to ask you 3 very powerful questions of the soul. The first response that enters your mind, will be the correct one. Ready? Take a DEEP BREATH....Here we go...
1.) Who are you? Most of my students have identified themselves with a title, such as I am a parent, a spouse, a child, student, a doctor, a lawyer, and actor, an actress, a producer, a director, a musician, an amazing lover, etc. But, let's delve a little more deeply into what makes you tick. What makes you-YOU? Who are you???
2.) What do YOU desire? What do you really dig? What excites you with passion? What do you really LOVE TO DO?
3.) How can you help out? How can you assist humanity, the earth, animals, etc... with what you LOVE TO DO?
THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER TO WHY YOU ARE HERE-LIVING AND BREATHING ON THIS EARTH!
*NOW YOU ARE READY TO READ ON AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LIFE THAT YOU ARE MEANT TO LIVE! GO FOR IT! THE TIME IS NOW!!!

What does this mean to you?
For some people, it is the ultimate path to enlightenment. A feeling so blissful that the soul feels released from all bonds that hold us captive. An experience so euphoric, that we no longer feel the need to seek the opinions, NOR the approval of others. We are simply at one with God, with all living things and do not need to be redeemed with some purification rite or ritual. We have subconsciously accepted grace and unified it with every level of our conscious being.
