I wanted to open this blog by thanking my dear friend Tristan for collaborating with me in his efforts.

His loyal readers might be wondering, Tristan, really!  Why Yoga?

I must address this by saying there is a massive misconception in mainstream society and the fitness community in general, that yoga is for women, elderly and those in touch with their earthy side. Yoga is for everyone!

Yoga serves as a natural compliment to strength training, fat burning, and heart pumping cardio. Regular stretching gives your muscles the ability to fire more efficiently without shutting down in response to stretched tendons and/or ligaments.

Yoga is naturally weight bearing in many of the postures.  As you hold poses and lift your body in amazing ways, you are isometrically contracting your muscles, inadvertently building strength, lengthening muscles, and reducing the chances of osteoporosis.  In addition, yoga has a unique “feel-good” and stress management component that may help prevent or relieve depression, anxiety and numerous other associated medical problems.

I teach Prana Flow Yoga.  Prana Flow Yoga is a type of evolutionary vinyasa yoga developed by Shiva Rea which focuses on the movement of the body initiated and guided by the breath.  Every class is designed to facilitate whole body transformations in strength and fluidity, circulation and centering.  Practicing Prana Flow will help keep your mind, body, and soul refreshed, focused, and connected to the ebb and flow of the natural body rhythms that surrounds your life.

Some people refer to Prana Flow Yoga as an “athletic” form of yoga – 90-minutes of calorie-burning, vigorous, endurance and strength-building kind of yoga practice.  Please take note not all classes are that way!  There are many different kinds of yoga.  Follow the link provided so you can read about, and further research, the different types of yoga.

B.K.S.Iyengar says it best when he states, “”While the physical aspect of yoga is a legitimate place to begin, it is not the end… Even in simple asanas, one is experiencing the three levels of quest: the external quest, which brings firmness of the body; the internal quest, which brings steadiness of intelligence; and the innermost quest, which brings benevolence of spirit.”

Today we begin our quest together ~ Lets transform ourselves!

Helping Others Shows Real Character...

Some people understand life better, and they call some of these people “retarded”…

At the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.

At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry.

They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back….every one of them. One girl with Down’s Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, “This will make it better.”

Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.

Everyone in the stadium stood. The cheering went on for several minutes.

People who were there are still telling the story. Why?

Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping  others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.
