In truth, yoga has a long tradition that is thousands of years old and, originally, its main purpose in practice was to hone and develop meditative techniques. There was no separating the two.

Mediation was, and truly still is, just one aspect of a full yoga practice.\r\n\r\nToday, yoga is often seen as a low impact, safe, and effective way to bring movement into our bodies. Meditation is seen as a way to quiet our busy minds. We learn more about the benefits of yoga and meditation every day. Just this month NPR reported on a study published in the <em>Annals of Internal Medicine</em> that showed how yoga can significantly reduce back pain. Time, NBC News, and Science Daily all reported on a recent study showing how yoga and other MBIs (Mind-Body Interventions) “can suppress the expression of genes and genetic pathways that promote inflammation” and “reverse the molecular signature of the effects of chronic stress.” The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine also published a study whose findings report a significant decline in depressive symptoms in the study’s participants.\r\n\r\nHaving the research to back up the benefits of yoga and meditation is encouraging. Yet the important thing to keep in mind is that they go hand in hand. As a yoga teacher, I often say in class, “What makes the shape that your body is in right now <em>yoga</em>?” You might find yourself sitting on the floor with a blanket under your hips or in a chair doing a simple spinal twist and hear the teacher’s voice ask this very question. The answer is simple. You are doing yoga because you are focusing and paying attention. In yoga, we are always working toward being in a kind of meditative state, that is we are directing our attention in a specific way to a specific point of focus. This point of focus may be our breath or sensations that are arising in our body or even a visual point of focus—which is especially helpful when practicing balancing poses.\r\n\r\nWhat happens then when our attention is drawn away, when we get distracted? Are we still practicing yoga? Of course! As mentioned earlier, meditation is just one aspect of a full yoga practice. In the yoga world, we call this one of the “eight limbs” of yoga. Yoga poses are another limb, so is working with our breath, and quieting our senses. The limb or stage that comes just before meditation is developing concentration. The longer we are able to focus our attention the closer we come to meditation. We might start with just a few seconds, then work slowly to a few minutes. Our yoga posture practice soon becomes a moving meditation. There is no rush, and there is no end goal. This process is a journey, with many benefits along the way: pain and stress relief, flexibility and stability, a slower heart rate, and decrease in blood pressure to mention just a few.\r\n\r\nIf you are considering beginning a yoga and meditation practice, be sure to talk to a qualified teacher.

In truth, yoga has a long tradition that is thousands of years old and, originally, its main purpose in practice was to hone and develop meditative techniques. There was no separating the two. The breathing practices used in yoga and later, the physical postures, were tools to strengthen the body so that it would be more comfortable sitting in meditation for extended periods of time. Mediation was, and truly still is, just one aspect of a full yoga practice.\r\n\r\nToday, yoga is often seen as a low impact, safe, and effective way to bring movement into our bodies. Meditation is seen as a way to quiet our busy minds. We learn more about the benefits of yoga and meditation every day. Just this month NPR reported on a study published in the <em>Annals of Internal Medicine</em> that showed how yoga can significantly reduce back pain. Time, NBC News, and Science Daily all reported on a recent study showing how yoga and other MBIs (Mind-Body Interventions) “can suppress the expression of genes and genetic pathways that promote inflammation” and “reverse the molecular signature of the effects of chronic stress.” The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine also published a study whose findings report a significant decline in depressive symptoms in the study’s participants.\r\n\r\nHaving the research to back up the benefits of yoga and meditation is encouraging. Yet the important thing to keep in mind is that they go hand in hand. As a yoga teacher, I often say in class, “What makes the shape that your body is in right now <em>yoga</em>?” You might find yourself sitting on the floor with a blanket under your hips or in a chair doing a simple spinal twist and hear the teacher’s voice ask this very question. The answer is simple. You are doing yoga because you are focusing and paying attention. In yoga, we are always working toward being in a kind of meditative state, that is we are directing our attention in a specific way to a specific point of focus. This point of focus may be our breath or sensations that are arising in our body or even a visual point of focus—which is especially helpful when practicing balancing poses.\r\n\r\nWhat happens then when our attention is drawn away, when we get distracted? Are we still practicing yoga? Of course! As mentioned earlier, meditation is just one aspect of a full yoga practice. In the yoga world, we call this one of the “eight limbs” of yoga. Yoga poses are another limb, so is working with our breath, and quieting our senses. The limb or stage that comes just before meditation is developing concentration. The longer we are able to focus our attention the closer we come to meditation. We might start with just a few seconds, then work slowly to a few minutes. Our yoga posture practice soon becomes a moving meditation. There is no rush, and there is no end goal. This process is a journey, with many benefits along the way: pain and stress relief, flexibility and stability, a slower heart rate, and decrease in blood pressure to mention just a few.\r\n\r\nIf you are considering beginning a yoga and meditation practice, be sure to talk to a qualified teacher. Let them know what your concerns and expectations are, and ask for guidance as to what level of class you might start with. Yoga is a practice for everybody. And with the correct guidance you’ll not only keep your body safe, you’ll also find that as you learn to pay attention while <em>on</em> the yoga mat, you\'ll begin to pay more attention while <em>off</em> the yoga mat.\r\n\r\n**Join us for our weekly Meditate &amp; Restore class every Wednesday at 11:30am.', 'Yoga and Meditation', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '6018-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-08-01 20:10:14', '2018-08-02 00:10:14', '', 6018, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/6018-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It can sound esoteric and even elusive, but meditation is actually very practical. Meditation helps to calm the incessant stream of thoughts flowing through the mind. That does not mean meditation is a complete lack of thoughts, however. Rather, mediation helps to clear out thoughts that are not based in the present so that we can fully experience the moment we find ourselves in.\n\nThe benefits of meditation are many. Meditation helps to calm and relax the body and mind. It helps reduce stress and inflammation. And regular meditation can lead to improved cognitive function. Meditation helps us to more clearly see the world around us, which is helpful for determining how we should respond to people and situations. Through meditation, we develop keen insight, not only about ourselves, but about the world around us.\n\nIf you have been intimidated about meditation because you think that sitting still for long periods of time sounds too difficult, rest assured—meditation does not have to be hard. In fact, it is usually best to begin easy. All you need is a comfortable place to sit. You could sit on the floor, on a cushion, or even on a chair. Find a comfortable seated position by grounding your sit bones and lengthening your spine. Let your hands lay anywhere that feels comfortable. They could be on your knees, palms up or down, or in your lap, hands folded or loose.\n\nSimply close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath. Notice how your breath feels and sounds. Notice how your body moves in response to your breath. Most importantly, notice when your mind wanders to other thoughts, and then guide your attention back to your breath. Even if your mind wanders over and over, as long as you bring your attention back to the breath each time it does, your practice will be a good one.\n\nBegin with a short five-minute meditation. Set a timer and sit for five minutes. Try to do that every day for a week. Notice how the practice changes from day to day. Some days you will find it easy, and other days you will find it difficult. The following week, you could try seven or ten minutes. Each week, gradually increase your time until you are meditating for at least 20 minutes each day. This simple practice will have an amazing impact on your life when you do it regularly.', 'Meditation 101', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3258-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-09-29 17:40:37', '2018-09-29 21:40:37', '', 3258, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/3258-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It is the study of the precision of our solar system and planetary movements that create linear chronological time. Comprehension of this ancient wisdom tradition allows for the awareness of how an individual spending a lifetime on Earth is affected by celestial events. <em>Jyotish</em> is a robust science that deepens the understanding of and reverence for the passage of time and the spiritual lessons that unfold. Effects, ranging from the simplest and observable lunar cycles to the complex and profound planetary transits through the sky, can be understood. A glimpse into one\'s own karma can be seen as well. Neither the individual nor the collective whole escapes the influence of the sacred sky.\r\n\r\n2019 will include several major astronomical events.  Powerful eclipses, moments when the Sun (soul), Moon (mind), and Earth (body) line up in space, will happen on January 5th, January 20th, July 2nd, July 16th, and December 26th.  On March 7th the Lunar Nodes, Rahu the pioneer and Ketu the sage, will change signs and remain in Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, for 18 months.  Benefic Jupiter, which confers blessings and mercy, will start a one year journey through Sagittarius on November 6th.  The list goes on. We will explore each of these events in detail as they arise month to month in our newsletter as well as on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yogasanctuary/">Facebook page</a>.\r\n\r\nFor those interested in self-discovery, analysis of the individual birth chart and current astronomical conditions is an invaluable tool. Knowledge of Jyotish greatly enhances success when deciding when and when not to perform certain activities. Supportive spiritual practices can be considered as well. Whether facing the unavoidable hardships or deserved joys of life, being prepared by understanding the sky under which we all live is certain to be helpful.\r\n\r\nYou can learn more about scheduling your own Vedic Birth Chart Reading <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/classes-wellness/wellness/">HERE</a>.', 'Looking Ahead in 2019', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5222-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-11-25 14:33:52', '2018-11-25 19:33:52', '', 5222, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5222-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Its founder was the sage Kapila who is considered by scholars to be older than Buddha. It is also the theory of creation recognized by both Yoga and Ayurveda.\r\n\r\nSankhya means “empirical” or “number." It explains creation in a manner where the implicit becomes explicit and where there exists neither production nor destruction. All of creation stems from the two facets of Sankhya: <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-five-great-elements-akash-vayu-agni-jal-and-prithvi/">Purusha and Prakriti</a>. Purusha is pure consciousness, the soul, Self, or knower. It is not substance, rather essence, beyond time and activity. Prakriti is matter and Nature. It is the power of manifestation in all objects and holds all three <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">Gunas</a> in equilibrium.\r\n\r\nModern science affirms Sankhya Philosophy. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can be transformed, but neither created nor destroyed. Einstein\'s equation E=mc² explains that matter and energy are interchangeable. Energy is stored in matter and matter can be converted to energy. The constant speed of light (3 x 108 m/s) is the factor c. Moreover, the dualism of the Particle-Wave Theory holds that light behaves like a wave and a particle at the same time.\r\n\r\nIn short, both the ancient philosophy and modern science contend that there is no difference between the energy that grows a walnut and the walnut itself.

I’m not yet at the point to sit back and try to summarize the experience.  Next month, perhaps.  Or maybe never, as summary would most certainly fall short of any meaningful assessment of what this entire process has been for all of us.  But, I’m getting ahead of myself.\n\nSomewhere over the past few weeks, we have passed through some kind of invisible door – bringing us all to a more confident space, where we are able to relax a little, have fun, to laugh at ourselves and, yes, at each other. The big thing – the really BIG THING – has been our Community Class experience, where we each choose a local Charity and teach a class for donations.  As I write this, only 3 of us have not yet completed this rite of passage.  I’ve been fortunate to attend all my fellow students’ classes and can say that, to a person, life BEFORE your Community Class and life AFTER are so different – it’s like you’ve moved to another planet.  \n\nLeading up to doing your Class, there is so much apprehension and preparation that, even those who have taught in the past have found it a challenge.  We all want so much to integrate what we have learned, and aspire to do The Yoga Sanctuary proud!  For me, well, I was terrified.  This business of teaching a class has loomed in front of me since December, as I imagined myself forgetting the names of body parts, when to inhale, when to exhale and making a complete fool of myself.  Or worse.  Tears might come.  \nSo, I worked on my sequence diligently.  Practicing on my generous victims.  Leaning on Jennifer’s advice and wisdom.  Writing out everything I hoped I would say -  editing, questioning, refining, finalizing the sheet of paper I would use as my cue card, my crutch, should memory completely fail me during my “routine”!  \n\nThen, as surely as the birds leave in Spring to fly north, it was suddenly MY DAY.   In a vague fog, I found myself walking into the studio under my own power.  Then after a lovely talk about my Charity, the Peace River Wildlife Center, I was “up”.   Miracle of miracles, as I looked out at all those lovely, goodhearted people, and felt them ‘with me’, it was as though Tinkerbell waved her little wand and I knew that whatever happened was going to be ok.  As one of the other ‘girls’ remarked after her Class, “I felt all that good energy, saw all those friendly faces.  We were all there for Yoga and for a good cause.  I knew it was ALREADY perfect.”   That’s the peace that comes with LIFE AFTER your Community Class!\n\nNow we are approaching ‘crunch time’ - review of our work and demonstration of what we have absorbed over the past few months.   It has become obvious that each of us has brought some strengths to the program – some have a real knack for Asana, some have had experience with the philosophical aspect of Yoga, and some are near experts on anatomy.

Ashley’s goal was to deepen her own personal practice and has found, along the way, the desire and confidence to teach.  Brandy has a dream to combine her love of Yoga with her Art.\n\nSally says the program has exceeded her expectations in developing her personal practice.   Sonya will infuse the wisdom of Yoga into her professional life and her photography.  And, I predict that Lynn,  after she’s had a chance to percolate on the Bhagavad Gita, will soon be emailing us from Long Island, saying “can I ask you a question….”.\n\nMe?  Well, this experience has certainly changed me and I guess I need a little time to assimilate – sort of an extended savasana!  One thing I know for sure:  the limitations I had placed on myself have been significantly altered, my comfort zone expanded, my sights lifted.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to help others find that? Perhaps bringing Yoga to people who may never have imagined it is “for them”?  We’ll see where the path leads.\n\nWe all have some ideas, yet I think that every one of us embraces the belief that the work itself has been the reward.  We are left  with open hearts to whatever may lie ahead, as we take our places in the Yoga community, accepting the responsibility and joy of sharing what we have learned.\n\nVery soon, the exams will be over, the celebratory gatherings will pass.  There will be hugs, well wishes and promises to stay in touch, to have lunch, to see each other in class.   Regardless of how much or how little we see each other in the future, we are forever connected and we know this is not an ending.  We’ve hardly scratched the surface on the subject of Yoga.  And the answer to the question “How long will it take me to ‘get this’” is “The rest of your life”.\n\nNamaste’\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI couldn’t possibly sign off on this Teacher Training Blog series without expressing our deepest gratitude to Bonnie and Jennifer.

In fact, up until the latter part of the twentieth century, the practice was almost exclusively for men. But as Westerners became interested in the practice, traveling to India to learn more about its secrets, women were slowly invited to practice.\r\n\r\nFast forward to today, and yoga around the world is a woman-dominated practice. How the tides have shifted! In most yoga studios, women make up the majority of students—and teachers. But yoga is not a sex-specific practice. Truly, yoga is for everyone. And men will find just as much benefit from the practice as women.\r\n\r\nWhile women can tend to be more flexible than men, yoga is not a practice for only flexible bodies. In fact, it’s designed to work with any level of flexibility, loosening tight muscles and releasing tension that can lead to injury. The tightness men experience due to exertion and lack of adequate stretching will really benefit from a yoga class.\r\n\r\nNot to mention, yoga can be a great strengthening practice. The stereotype of yoga is that it’s a calming, easy practice with light stretching, but anyone who attends a vigorous yoga class can attest that it’s one of the toughest workouts around. Yoga works such a wide range of muscles that its effect on strength can be quite remarkable—and felt throughout the whole body.\r\n\r\nMen, if you have been hesitating to come to yoga because you think it’s for women and weaklings, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s a practice you’ll get a lot out of—and one you can tailor to your own needs.', 'Turning the Tide of Yoga in a Woman-Dominated Culture', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3969-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-01-13 20:36:57', '2019-01-14 01:36:57', '', 3969, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/3969-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Prajna suggests wisdom, a kind of sixth sense—or seventh sense—not intellectual but an intuitive wisdom. Through <em>prajna</em> one actualizes the dharma in everyday life and engages in the world whole-heartedly without grasping. To use the words of the Chinese sage Mahasattva Fu, one “takes hold of the plow with empty hands.” I founded <a href="http://www.prajnayoga.net">Prajna Yoga</a> with my wife Surya in Santa Fe, New Mexico, based on our collective forty years of practice and study. The first in-depth study training program in this practice was offered in 1998.\n\nIn this day of racy yoga classes, chic yoga wear, and classes that emphasize power work-outs, Prajna Yoga involves mindfulness and precision. In order to tap the internal alignment of a posture, a mindful approach is necessary, and this involves slowing the practice down. By going slowly a student can feel more, and attune to the changing rhythms within her body. We have a bumper sticker we designed that reads: DARE TO BE SLOW. It does take practice—and patience—to go slowly, especially in the midst of the lickety-split, pixel craze in which we all now live.\n\nThe aim of yoga is not simply to build strength and flexibility, but intelligence—a kind of somatic wisdom. How do we build this intelligence, this sensitivity? The key in all training, whether headstand, down dog, or seated meditation, is listening. It is through internal listening that one can attune to the subtle body including the breath, holding patterns in the connective tissues, emotions and thoughts. We think of this as the Art of Listening.\n\nPrajna Yoga combines insightful teachings on mindfulness that stem from the Buddhist tradition, with the techniques and practices within Hatha Yoga. The combination of these two are potent means to transform the mind and body. The Prajna approach involves “skillful action” and mindful articulation within a pose.\n\nThe practice always begins from the ground up. It is critical to set the foundation of a pose so that it is balanced and stable. Typically this involves the feet, but the foundation of a pose may be the crown of the head, the forearms, or the shoulder blades. When the foundation of a pose is set then one can safely build the temple of the pose.\n\nThe Prajna approach is inter-disciplinary and there are many elements woven together in the Prajna practice. One of the primary stitches in the weave is the way hatha yoga combines with the science of anatomy and structural alignment. Techniques from Iyengar Yoga are combined with principles from Osteopathic medicine, the work of Ida Rolf, and elements from Chinese medicine. Also in the Prajna weave are Taoist teachings, yoga for women’s health, nutrition, poetry, and Sanskrit studies. The emphasis throughout is not simply to build a more flexible and stronger student, but to educate students on the nuances of the mind-body-heart connection. The emphasis is to develop “Big Mind”—a mind (and heart) that is wide and broad in its perspective.\n\nOne of the things Prajna Yoga avoids is the rigidity of a system. Due to the authoritarianism and the self-serving motivations within any system (something that J. Krishnamurti cautioned against), Prajna Yoga emphasizes a body of practice that changes and evolves. This follows the original teachings of the Buddha who taught that nothing is static, neither the body, the weather, relationships between people, or beliefs. In this sense, the “system” of Prajna Yoga is like the current of a river. This flow can be seen in a variety of ways—the flow of awareness, the flow of vinyasa, the flow of blood and lymph through the body, and the flow of change that happens all the time. This flow also manifests as a practice that can change and adapt according to the needs of the time. In this sense Prajna Yoga is like the Tao and when the Tao flows it is responsive and dynamic.\n\nThe cornerstone of the Prajna Yoga approach is <em>metta</em> or loving kindness. The essential practice of kindness does not necessarily involve religion. In fact sometimes the dogma that stems from spiritual practice can become an obstacle to kindness. Metta does not require that one believe in one particular deity. Rather, this kindness manifests when one sees into the fragility of all life and the impermanence of all circumstance. Metta is the ground for being in relationship—within the teacher-student connection, within a marriage, and between co-workers and colleagues. The heart of metta practice involves ease, compassion and non-judgmental awareness toward oneself and others. One student spoke to the Prajna Yoga experience this way, “here is a practice that educates and challenges, but at the same time accepts a person for where they are and works them gently but firmly forward.”\n\nThe realization of metta involves the understanding that all life is inter-dependent, something Thich Nhat Hahn called inter-being. The symbol that best describes this is the “knot of eternity,” a weave pattern that best represents Prajna Yoga. This “knot of inter-being” is one of the eight symbols that expresses veneration for the teachings of the Buddha. The knot represents the indivisibility of all of life—all things animate and inanimate, all circumstance, and all activity. Suggested in this symbol is that there is no such thing as an isolated “I” or “me” apart from the weave of everything else. The suggestion of this weave is that the purpose of the path of yoga is not to get outside of or away from one’s relationships in the world. Rather, through understanding the inter-connectivity of all life, one participates more whole-heartedly and fearlessly in the fabric of life.\n\nPrajna Yoga involves a fearless approach to living, yet one that is realized through wisdom and compassion. By training the body to be centered and pliable and the mind-heart to be clear and open, one can live a wondrous and intimate life.\n\nLearn more about Tias Little\'s upcoming visit to The Yoga Sanctuary HERE.', 'Prajna Yoga: The Yoga of Wisdom and Compassion - A Guest Blog by Tias Little', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3599-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-02-04 18:25:38', '2019-02-04 23:25:38', '', 3599, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/3599-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Prana flows in with each breath and brings life to our cells, our mind, and our entire being.

Often, the need to forgive underlies difficulty with backbends.\r\n\r\nWorking with the heart chakra can be a very healing experience. It can also be emotional. Begin with smaller back-bending postures if your heart chakra is very imbalanced. Feel your heart literally open as you inhale prana, and feel your judgment melt away as you exhale.

The qualities of this chakra are unconditional love and compassion. Anahata is the gateway between the lower and upper chakras. When this chakra is in balance we are ready to explore the higher chakras.\r\n\r\nThe gland associated with Anahata is the thymus, a critical component of the immune system. Thus, Anahata helps us to build immunity against pain and disease. Because Anahata also governs our emotions, this chakra also helps us build immunity to hurtful emotions. When Anahata is balanced, our unconditional love for all we encounter can transform our experience of these emotions. The message of the heart chakra is to accept the oneness of all of life—but we need to first love ourselves.\r\n\r\nWhen Anahata is imbalanced we may feel withdrawn or lonely. We may be unable to forgive. Jealousy and possessiveness also indicate an imbalanced heart chakra. When Anahata is in balance, we are connected to universal love. Our external life becomes a reflection of our inner values. Our heart feels full.\r\n\r\nThe Prana Vayu, or quality of life force, governing Anahata is prana, or life force. Prana flows in with each breath and brings life to our cells, our mind, and our entire being. Asana, or postures, that serve to balance Anahata include all back-bending postures, which help to open the heart and facilitate the intake of prana with breath. Often, the need to forgive underlies difficulty with backbends.\r\n\r\nWorking with the heart chakra can be a very healing experience. It can also be emotional. Begin with smaller back-bending postures if your heart chakra is very imbalanced. Feel your heart literally open as you inhale prana, and feel your judgment melt away as you exhale. Your heart will begin to soften and eventually unconditional love—the essence of Anahata chakra—will shine through. With each breath you take, you have the potential to connect to this essence.

They begin at the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/muladhara-chakra/">pelvic floor</a>, move up through the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/svadhistana-chakra/">sacral area</a>, the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/manipura-chakra/">solar plexus region</a>, <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/anahata-chakra/">the heart</a>, <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/vishuddha-chakra/">throat</a>, <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/ajna-chakra-2/">eyebrow center</a> and end at the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/sahasrara-chakra/">crown </a>of the head. The chakras are not made up of the physical body, however. Chakras represent the subtle body. They serve to connect the physical body to the energetic body, each corresponding to a different area, different energy, and different qualities.\r\n\r\nThe chakra system comes from Tantric philosophy. According to Tantra, the universe was created when Shiva and Shakti were separated. Shiva, the male energy, represents divine consciousness, and Shakti, the female energy, represents Mother Nature herself. It is said that when Shakti separated from Shiva, the world as we know it was created.\r\n\r\nTo realize the true union of Shiva and Shakti—or the true nature of ourselves, connected to all that is (or a spiritual connection, if you choose)—we practice asana, pranayama, and meditation, increasing the flow of prana within us. This flow of prana moves kundalini, or the coil of energy at the base of the spine, up the Sushumna nadi (the main nadi that travels along the spine). As kundalini flows through each chakra, we experience a balance of energies that flows out into our lives.\r\n\r\nThrough the chakras, we are able to work with our life energies in a positive way. Learning about the chakras, and how chakra imbalances can affect our lives, and vice versa, can help us to understand the subtle nature of life itself. Through asana, pranayama, and meditation we can rebalance the chakras to improve energy flow within the body, mind, and spirit.\r\n\r\nEach chakra is associated with aspects of life, areas of the body, energies, and so much more. In the coming months, we will delve into each chakra, learning its significance, how to identify chakra imbalances, and how to bring each chakra back into balance. In the meantime, know that your yoga practice is serving to open the energy flow within you, and all around you.', 'The Chakra System', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2376-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-02-28 20:55:25', '2019-03-01 01:55:25', '', 2376, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2376-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Lie flat on your belly with your legs stretched out long, your toes pointing back, and your forehead on your mat.\r\n\r\n2. Let your big toes come together slightly more than your heels. Place your palms on the ground beside your upper ribs. Bring strength into your legs by actively reaching them toward the wall behind you and at the same time keeping them pressing into the ground. Feel as though your tailbone is stretching toward your heels.\r\n\r\n3. As you inhale, press your palms down, imagine you are dragging the hands toward you, and begin to peel your chest off of the ground.\r\n\r\n4. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears and your shoulder blades drawing down your back. As your chest lifts, feel as if your shoulder blades are moving into the back of your heart, opening the chest a bit more.\r\n\r\n5. Keep your eyes soft and your gaze relaxed as you look at the wall in front of you. Hold for 3 - 5 breaths and with an exhalation, release.\r\n\r\n<strong>tips:</strong>\r\n1. Sometimes people will straighten their arms too quickly, taking the pose too deeply. This can bring strain into the low back. It is perfectly fine to keep the elbows bent. Straightening the arms can also lift the pelvis off the ground. In this pose the pubic bone is meant to stay on the ground. While keeping the arms bent, try to get the movement in the mid to upper back.\r\n\r\n2. This pose is often practiced first in a series of backbends. It can be confused with a deeper backbend called Upward Facing Dog, where the pelvis and legs are lifted off the ground and the only connection to the ground is in the palms and tops of the feet. While both are valid and beneficial poses, Cobra Pose allows movement in the upper back with a bit more ease.\r\n\r\n<strong>benefits:</strong>\r\nStrengthens spinal muscles; stretches the abdomen and chest; increases flexibility in thoracic and lumbar spine; with regular and safe practice, helps to alleviate low back pain.', 'bhujangasana', '<img src=\'http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/rsz_2cobra.jpg\'> benefits: strengthens spinal muscles; stretches the abdomen and chest; increases flexibility in thoracic and lumbar spine; with regular and safe practice, helps to alleviate low back pain. \r\n\r\n', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1252-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-06-06 15:46:46', '2019-06-06 19:46:46', '', 1252, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/1252-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It is a controlled breathing practice designed to purify the nadis (energy channels). There are over 72,000 nadis in the body. Of these the three most important nadis are ida, pingala, and susumna. Ida and pingala, which originate in the left and right nostril respectively, govern the dualities within us. Susumna nadi, the central energy channel, runs through the center of the spinal cord. Alternate nostril breathing takes us from the external (ida and pingala) to the internal (susumna). It is here in susumna nadi that we can deepen our experience of meditation.\r\n\r\n<strong>EFFECTS: </strong>\r\n<em>BKS Iyengar:</em> "the blood receives a larger supply of oxygen in Nadi Sodhana than in normal breathing, so that one feels refreshed and the nerves are calmed and purified. The mind becomes still and lucid."\r\n<em>Alan Finger:</em> "it creates a mind-set conducive to witnessing our thoughts without participating in them."\r\n<em>Donna Farhi:</em> "helps to balance the body and mind as well as soothe and calm the nerves, leaving you in a mentally alert but relaxed state. It is a terrific way to combat jitters before a potentially stressful event."\r\n\r\n<strong>PRACTICE:</strong>\r\n1. Come into a comfortable seated posture with the spine erect and the shoulders relaxed. You may even sit up against a wall if that is more comfortable for you. <a href="http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/jnana-mudra.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1247 size-full" title="jnana mudra" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/jnana-mudra.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>-\r\n\r\n2. The back of the left hand rests on the top of the left knee, with the thumb and index finger touching to create jnana mudra, an energy seal, which induces a relaxation response. The arm remains straight yet relaxed.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vishnu-mudra1.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1240 size-full" title="vishnu mudra1" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vishnu-mudra1.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="111" /></a>3. The right hand forms vishnu mudra, an energy seal where the index finger and the middle finger fold over into the palm, and the thumb and the last two fingers remain out. This mudra preserves the truth of who you are.\r\n\r\n4. Lift the right hand to the nostrils and place the thumb on the right nostril and ring finger on the left nostril. The fingers rest just below the part of the nose where the hard cartilage ends and the soft cartilage begins. NOTE: The thumb and ring finger remain in contact with the nostrils throughout the breathing technique, just varying the pressure.\r\n\r\n5. Inhale - Slide the thumb up the side of the right nostril to create an opening and breathe in. Use the ring and pinky fingers to keep the left nostril blocked.\r\n\r\n6. Close the right nostril.\r\n\r\n7. Exhale - Slide the ring finger up the side of the left nostril to enable the breath to flow out the left nostril.\r\n\r\n8. Inhale - Breathe back in through the left nostril while the right nostril remains closed.\r\n\r\n9. Close the left nostril.\r\n\r\n10. Exhale - through the right nostril.\r\n\r\n11. This completes one round of alternate nostril breathing. Try to develop a slow rhythmic breath on both the inhalation and the exhalation.\r\n\r\n12. Begin by practicing 3 rounds initially, slowly building up to 6 rounds.\r\n\r\n13. After your final round, lower you right hand to rest on your knee, touching the thumb and index finger together in jnana mudra.\r\n\r\n14. Sit quietly for as long as is comfortable. Observe the effects of the practice on the body and mind.\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTES:</strong>\r\n1. If you feel dizzy or the breath becomes strained in any way, stop immediately and consult your physician.\r\n\r\n2.

Sit on a blanket with your legs stretched out in front of you and your spine long. Bend your knees and place the soles of your feet on the ground.\r\n\r\n2. Splay your knees open and bring the soles of your feet together. Hold either your shins or ankles. Press the little toe sides of your feet together. Lengthen up through your spine and draw your navel softly in and up.\r\n\r\n3. Let your shoulders relax and your shoulder blades glide down your back. Keep your breast bone lifted and your chest broad.\r\n\r\n4. Feel your inner thighs stretching from the groin to the knee, allowing your knees to gently release towards the ground. Stay for several slow even breaths.\r\n\r\nTIPS:\r\n1. Often people use their elbows to force the knees down. This can cause one to collapse in the chest, lose the lift of the spine, and strain the inner knee.\r\n2. Keep your arms close to your body and use the pressure of the feet against each other to find length in the inner thighs. Let the posture come naturally as opposed to forcing your body into it.\r\n\r\nBENEFITS:\r\nStretches adductors (inner thighs); strengthens pelvic floor, bladder and uterus; tones kidneys; increases circulation to abdomen and pelvis; helps to ease menstrual and some premenopausal symptoms.', 'baddha konasana', '<img src=\'http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/themes/ys/images/baddha.jpg\'>Strengthens back and leg muscles; opens the abdomen and chest; increases flexibility in shoulders and upper back; counteracts the effects of long periods of sitting; stimulates the thyroid; helps ease depression and high blood pressure; balances the nervous system.

Our year-round schedule of workshops explore a wide range of topics, such as structural and subtle anatomy, yoga philosophy and history, as well as the sister sciences of yoga - Ayurveda and Jyotish. Many of our teachers are registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYTs (Experienced Yoga Teacher) and YACEPs (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). This means that when you take a workshop with these teachers, your time with them counts towards any required continuing education hours. In addition to these ongoing workshops, we\'ve also created a program specifically geared toward developing one\'s skills as a yoga teacher.

The best way for me to accomplish this was to attend teacher training at TYS, which I did in 2012/2013. It was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’m grateful for all I have learned and continue to learn. Although I don’t teach, I did this for my own knowledge and growth. At some point I may decide to teach.

Many of our teachers are registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYTs (Experienced Yoga Teacher) and YACEPs (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). This means that when you take a workshop with these teachers, your time with them counts towards any required continuing education hours. In addition to these ongoing workshops, we\'ve also created a program specifically geared toward developing one\'s skills as a yoga teacher.

Our year-round schedule of workshops explore a wide range of topics, such as structural and subtle anatomy, yoga philosophy and history, as well as the sister sciences of yoga - Ayurveda and Jyotish. Many of our teachers are registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYTs (Experienced Yoga Teacher) and YACEPs (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). This means that when you take a workshop with these teachers, your time with them counts towards any required continuing education hours. In addition to these ongoing workshops, we\'ve also created a program specifically geared toward developing one\'s skills as a yoga teacher.

Anyone that is considering the teacher training at TYS, I could not recommend a better studio and teachers.”</p>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_testimonial][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Yoga Teacher Training', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '36-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-05-24 14:05:01', '2019-05-24 18:05:01', '', 36, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/36-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);
