At the Yoga Sanctuary, we offer a unique blend of Hatha Yoga classes for all levels of experience. We believe that no one yoga style or level is perfect for everyone since we begin our practice from different places. Therefore, we offer a range of styles and levels so you can choose the class that best fits your needs.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: \'Arial\',sans-serif; color: #666666;">In the beginning, you may want to start with one or two classes per week. As you develop and become more excited about your yoga practice, you may want to increase your attendance to three or four classes per week. Remember that you should enjoy your yoga practice and it should be something that you look forward to. Find the balance that works for you!</span>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built="1" fullwidth="off" specialty="off" prev_background_color="#000000" next_background_color="#000000"][et_pb_row background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial"][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_toggle admin_label="Class Descriptions" title="Class Descriptions" open="off" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.106"]\r\n\r\n<strong>Gentle Yoga</strong> is ideal for students who wish to move at a slower pace or are recovering from injuries. Experience a gentle approach to yoga postures that stretch the muscles and deeply relax the nervous system.\r\n\r\n<strong>Level l </strong>provides a supportive environment in which beginning students can learn the foundation of a yoga practice while the more experienced practitioner will be able to fine tune the fundamentals of their practice.\r\n\r\n<strong>Level ll </strong>is for the student with a consistent yoga practice. This 75-minute energetic and creative class explores the more advanced practices while moving at a vigorous tempo. Six months of experience or more and a full understanding of the standing poses is highly recommended.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meditate &amp; Restore</strong> brings together the practices of meditation and restorative yoga. Begin by exploring techniques designed to bring you peace of mind, reduced stress, and improved concentration. Follow this with supported poses that promote deep relaxation and rest. This class will leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and restored.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mixed Level</strong> introduces more challenging and dynamic postures. It\'s recommended to have a solid foundation in level l classes before beginning this class. It is your bridge between level l and the challenge of level ll.\r\n\r\n<strong>Restorative Yoga </strong>is a quiet practice in which props are used to place students in comfortable, supported poses that promote deep relaxation. Suitable for any level yoga practitioner, this class will leave you feeling relaxed and restored.\r\n\r\n<b>Strength &amp; Balance</b> is a gentle and innovative approach to yoga that uses a chair to provide support and stability for students with injuries, balance issues, or other limitations.

This morning flow class is designed to awaken the body and mind.

Originating in China, taichi is often described as "meditation in motion" because it promotes serenity while connecting the mind and body. The slow, relaxed movements make it accessible to all ages and fitness levels.\r\n\r\n<strong>Yin Yoga</strong> is a meditative, gentle style of Yoga that complements an active, strength-building yoga practice. By holding each asana for several minutes, students stretch the connective tissues in target areas like the hips and spine, increase flexibility, and explore familiar poses on a deeper level.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/classes-wellness/yoga-classes/#yoga_schedule">View the Schedule and Sign-up</a>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label="On-Site Yoga" title="On-Site Yoga" open="off" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.106"]\r\n\r\nThe Yoga Sanctuary offers on site yoga classes for businesses, local organizations, and even special events.

You can do it,” before first checking in with the body, and specifically, the breath. This mentality might sound familiar to you. It might even sound encouraging. But if we only listen to what the mind tells us what to do without first checking in with our bodies, trouble may ensue.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_5692" align="aligncenter" width="189"]<img class=" wp-image-5692" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/childs-pose-1-300x240.jpg" alt="balasana" width="189" height="152" /> Child\'s Pose[/caption]\r\n\r\nIf, instead, the mind first checks in with the breath, it might find a labored breath, or even a held breath. If a relatively steady breath cannot be found, this would indicate a need for softening. And one of the best ways to soften is in child’s pose, or balasana. In child’s pose we come to the hands and knees, and then push the hips back toward the heels while draping the body over the thighs and bringing the forehead to the floor. (Feel free to place a blanket over the calves and/or a block under the forehead for more comfort, if needed.)\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_1565" align="aligncenter" width="210"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1565" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rsz_balasana_supported_2.jpg" alt="supported child\'s pose" width="210" height="125" /> Child\'s Pose with block support[/caption]\r\n\r\nAt any time throughout a yoga practice, if steadiness and ease are nowhere to be found, take child’s pose and find your breath. Even if the rest of the class is in a standing posture, if your body says, “rest,” child’s pose is always available. Taking child’s pose when your body (and mind, and spirit) truly needs it, is a sign that you really understand the practice. After all, it is your practice; so it should fit you, not the rest of the class.\r\n\r\n[caption id="attachment_2091" align="aligncenter" width="226"]<img class=" wp-image-2091" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/rsz_1balasana.jpg" alt="supported child\'s pose" width="226" height="98" /> Child\'s Pose with bolster support[/caption]\r\n\r\nGet comfortable with taking child\'s pose when your body needs a rest, despite what the rest of the class is doing, and especially despite what the ego mind is telling you to do. Taking child’s pose when needed is a powerful practice. Next time you are in class listen to your breath, and when it tells you it’s time, take child’s pose.', 'when in doubt, take child\'s pose', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2484-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-10-05 22:15:06', '2017-10-06 02:15:06', '', 2484, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2484-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

The physical asana practice can be used to reduce suffering in the body by bringing awareness to imbalances in the skeletal, muscular and other systems of the body.

I arrived in Florida following retirement from a career in Michigan where I had earned a PhD at Michigan State University. Several years were spent working at Lansing Community College, where I met and married my husband, Chuck Bettinson. I went on to work for the Department of Education, State of Michigan. There I was involved in developing, implementing and then directing a number of different programs with state wide scope, responsibility and high visibility.\r\n\r\nChuck and I have a son, Tim Bettinson. Tim, and Margo Schwarberg, own and operate an independent restaurant in the suburbs of Cincinnati.

At the end of a lengthy rehabilitation period following major back surgery that fused the last two vertebrae of my lumbar region, the therapist suggested I try some form of exercise that would be a bit kinder to my body. At that time, I was willing to try anything. I had already had a hip replacement and was faced with giving up many of the activities that I loved – long walks, running, working with my performance dogs and competing with my dogs in canine agility.\r\n\r\nI attended a Yoga Sanctuary Open House, bought a mat and a strap and signed up! Margit helped me through my orientation session. I even wrote down all the props I would need for my first gentle yoga class. I wasn’t certain I would remember them and Margit had shown me how to use them safely.\r\n\r\nSince that time every class, every instructor, every gentle correction has been a positive and life changing experience.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>TYS: </em></strong>What are the greatest benefits of practicing yoga?\r\n\r\n<strong><em>DS: </em></strong>I love my yoga practice for many reasons. I’ve strengthened my spine, back and leg muscles and my balance has improved. I learn something about myself and my body with every session. I have learned to quiet my mind and be still. I have learned what it means to be present even though I still find it a challenge to achieve. Yoga has helped me strive to be a better person.

Prayers are performed, offerings are made and mantras are recited to honor and invoke the blessings of the Divine Mother.\r\n\r\nThe first three nights are devoted to <em>Durga</em>, which means "invincible" in Sanskrit. In Vedic energetics, <em>Durga</em> presides over the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">tamasic</a> realm and annihilation. She is depicted fearlessly riding a lion and carrying weapons in her many hands. Her job is to destroy the darkness, ignorance and weakness that interferes with spiritual growth. She is responsible for the first step of the spiritual journey to remove fear, pain, suffering and confusion.

Shown with coins representing abundance, she assists in understanding the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/yamas-and-niyamas-in-the-new-year/">niyama</a> of <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/santosha/">Santosha</a>. At this point along the spiritual path, we can experience gratitude and appreciation for all we have received. The mantra for <em>Lakshmi</em> is "Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha."\r\n\r\nThe final three nights are dedicated to Goddess <em>Saraswati</em>, which means "essence of Self" in Sanskrit, and her dominion is the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">sattvic</a> realm.<em> Saraswati</em> carries a book, mala and lute. She oversees learning, knowledge, and the Arts for those who have been prepared. Only when we have passed through the first two stages can we be ready to access <em>Saraswati\'s</em> blessings and, as a result, use acquired knowledge and higher consciousness for the welfare of all.

Much seems to have changed over the past few days and we feel your concerns deeply.\r\n\r\nAt this time, The Yoga Sanctuary does not intend to close, and our schedule of events will proceed as is on our website. Our hope is to continue to provide a space to be mindful, find stillness, and be present in the midst of these challenges.\r\n\r\nWith that said, we have put into place a number of procedures and have enhanced those that are part of our daily routines.\r\n\r\nWe are for the foreseeable future:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Suspending hands-on assists.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pausing our complimentary tea service.</li>\r\n 	<li>Boosting our regular cleaning procedures to include staff hand washing before and after class, regular cleaning of all surfaces and door knobs, to mention just a few.</li>\r\n 	<li>Pausing the regular use of props. This includes eye pillows and mats. Following Jennifer’s return on Monday, March 16<sup>th</sup> all props will be removed from the studio to be sanitized. Please bring your own mat and any other props you use in your practice. When props are returned to the studio, use will be optional.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWhat we ask for from you:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Please bring your own mat.</li>\r\n 	<li>Please wash hands before and after class.</li>\r\n 	<li>If you are feeling unwell or have recently felt unwell, please choose to stay home.</li>\r\n 	<li>If you live with someone that is feeling unwell, please choose to stay home.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWhat we hope that we all can remember in the midst of this challenging time is not to come from a place of fear, but from a place of concern for ourselves and our community.\r\n\r\nPlease let us know of any concerns you may have. We are here for you.\r\n\r\nTwo palms together and with great love,\r\n\r\nAll of Us at The Yoga Sanctuary\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Keep Up With The Yoga Sanctuary', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '6907-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-03-16 22:19:59', '2020-03-17 02:19:59', '', 6907, 'https://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/6907-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

People who have a dominant kapha dosha tend to be passive, peaceful, calm, and consistent. They can also be lethargic and stubborn. They are deliberate in their actions and are very loving.\r\n\r\nPhysically, kapha dosha types tend to be of larger build and may be overweight or have difficulty losing weight. They have big, beautiful features and voluptuous bodies. Of all three doshas, kaphas are most likely to suffer conditions that involve congestion, mucus, and swelling. Kapha types tend to crave sweet foods and can easily overeat. Emotionally, they tend toward depression.\r\n\r\nWhen kapha is in excess, a person will feel depressed and possessive. They will be stubborn and can develop greediness. Sinus infections, colds, chest congestion, asthma, and cysts are common when kaphas are out of balance. They will also have difficulty finding motivation.\r\n\r\nThere are a number of practices that can help to balance kapha. A yoga practice that helps cultivate joy is best for kaphas, who are challenged to commit to a regular practice. Particular focus on the end of each asana, or posture, will be helpful. Maintaining the integrity of the pose from beginning to end helps kaphas feel more accomplished in the practice. Maintaining a mindset of devotion, or Bhakti, will help keep kaphas coming back to the mat.\r\n\r\nAn excellent mantra for kapha types is: Asato ma sadgamaya; Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya; Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya (Lead me from untruth to truth; Lead me from darkness to light; Lead me from death to immortality). Repeating this mantra during meditation is a healing practice for kapha imbalance.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to diet, balancing kapha dosha involves eating foods that are bitter and astringent while reducing sweet, salty, and sour foods. Reducing mucus-generating foods, such as dairy and wheat is best. Also, reduction of sweet, heavy fruits and salt is recommended. Increasing consumption of lighter grains, green leafy vegetables, berries, as well as basil, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves (chai tea!), cumin, and ginger will be helpful. Kaphas are the one dosha group that can best tolerate moderate amounts of coffee and alcohol.\r\n\r\nWhether your dosha is kapha dominant or kapha-pitta dominant, many of the practices that help to balance kapha will be helpful to you at some point. By noticing your own tendencies, you will be better able to do what you can to balance your doshas when you find an imbalance. You will likely find that you understand yourself more because of this practice.', 'Kapha Dosha', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3382-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-10-03 15:40:23', '2017-10-03 19:40:23', '', 3382, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/3382-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Amy Kindred[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Yoga Sanctuary: What made you decide to participate in the teacher training program?\r\n\r\nAmy Kindred: I wanted to deepen my understanding of yoga. It has made such a difference in my life. I also wanted to learn to teach yoga.\r\n\r\nTYS: Has being in the program changed your yoga practice in any way?\r\n\r\nAK: There is a requirement to keep track of your home yoga practice and how you felt or what you noticed each time you went to your mat. After four months of doing a home practice 5 times a week and writing it down, it\'s now a habit for me. I am mindful so much more of yoga\'s many gifts.\r\n\r\nTYS: What has been the most rewarding part of the program for you?\r\n\r\nAM: The journey with others in the class has been deeply rewarding. As one of my fellow classmates said early on, "You\'ll do fine. We got your back." I felt that support all along. Embarking on the journey to becoming a yoga teacher is so intense. Knowing you are not alone and that others are there for you and with you made it such a wonderful experience.\r\n\r\nTYS: What was the most challenging part of the program for you?\r\n\r\nAK: Anatomy. I loved learning Sanskrit and exploring ancient Yoga Sutras, but learning anatomy was tough.\r\n\r\nTYS: Where do you see yourself taking now that the program is complete?\r\n\r\nAK: Soon, I\'ll by teaching my first class "unaided" by my TYS teacher and mentors. I loved learning to teach and I\'m so excited to continue the journey of practicing and teaching yoga. "We who teach yoga are always students," as Jennifer French, our TT lead teacher and program director, says. I look forward to learning more.\r\n\r\nTYS: Do you have any suggestions for someone that is considering a yoga teacher training program?\r\n\r\nAK: Jennifer also said, "Trust the process." With the mala beads in hand, a new Teacher-In-Training student would do well to recite, "Trust the process. Trust the process." over and over again.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h1>Yogi of the Month—Amy Kindred</h1>\r\nI am a mother to a 31-year-old son who lives in Cincinnati. I also have a stepdaughter in Rhode Island and a stepson in Indianapolis. My husband and I moved to Punta Gorda five years ago. Long before moving here from the Midwest, we would spend a month every year on the east coast of Florida. Although my husband is retired, I continue to work. I am a Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister, and I serve the UU Fellowship in Port Charlotte.\r\n\r\nIt’s hard to recall when I first started doing yoga. It has to be more than 20 years ago. Sometime around 1992, I came across a yoga DVD and found it to be very helpful for the overwhelming stress I experienced as an art teacher for 12 years.\r\n\r\nI have two very clear poignant memories about my yoga practice. I was doing yoga in my home on the morning of 9/11. I remember feeling very calm in the midst of a terribly confusing moment. Later, sometime in 2006, I recall participating in a yoga class on Cocoa Beach. It was a misty early morning. With the sound of the waves and the breeze, it was a powerful “one with nature” experience.\r\n\r\nI now practice yoga four or five times a week, combining a home practice with classes at The Yoga Sanctuary. I love the Sunrise Yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. After arriving to class, sometimes in the dark, I like to pretend that during that hour when I’m doing yoga with others inside and the birds are chattering like crazy outside, together we are the ones who encourage the sun to rise. Silly thought, I know. “Use whatever crazy notions that get you to your mat,” I say.\r\n\r\nWith food sensitivities and fibromyalgia, I am prone to aches in my muscles and joints. I walk, swim, run a little, and do lots of yoga to help with stress. With exercise, avoiding the cold, and watching what I eat, painful flare ups rarely happen.\r\n\r\nBreath work, meditation, and keen observation of how the body is engaged in movement are extremely beneficial for people who, like me, are easily distracted and have a hard time sitting still. I like the aspect of discipline in the practice. I believe it has helped me to grow into a person who brings a calmer presence off the mat because of the time I have spent on the mat.\r\n\r\nMy favorite yoga pose is Bridge Pose with a block under my lower back.

Classes can be held at your location or at our studio. The opening of the studio in 2007 has brought the benefits of Yoga to hundreds of people, regardless of age or fitness level. Yoga calms the mind and reduces stress, with students often reaping the benefits after only a single class. The community wide impact of these benefits became apparent with The Yoga Sanctuary being named 2008 Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. Now your program can become an extension of an established studio in your own facility.</p><p>Here are a few options that we offer:</p><p><strong>Corporate Yoga</strong></p><p><strong>The Yoga Sanctuary at Work Program</strong> provides on-site yoga and corporate rates to local businesses. Bring yoga to your workplace to help your employees relieve stress and prevent injury. Having happy, healthy employees increases productivity and reduces absenteeism. This in turn leads to higher morale, job satisfaction, and work performance. With a staff of highly trained and certified yoga instructors, we can customize a yoga program for your staff’s needs. We provide all materials needed. You just provide a quiet open space, such as a meeting or conference room. Join the growing number of corporations embracing workplace yoga as a cost-effective employee retention strategy.

Sitting at a desk all day is hard on your body, but it doesn’t have to be! This program will show you how to relieve stress and tension with simple, quick and easy stretches that you can do right at your desk. You will learn how to sit properly at your desk to prevent common misalignment problems. Misalignment often leads to muscle tension, fatigue, headaches, and much more. Included in this program is a handout with all of the exercises we will teach you, so that you can continue to do them daily on your own. You will also receive three free classes to enjoy at our studio. “Yoga at Your Desk” can be enjoyed as a private one-on-one session with you at your workplace or a corporate workshop with a group of people. Contact us to find out how we can bring yoga to your desk.</p><p><strong>On-Site Yoga</strong></p><p>The Yoga Sanctuary provides on-site yoga classes to local organizations.

Yoga can seem like an intimidating practice, but it doesn’t have to be. When you know a few basics about what to expect, you’ll feel more ready for class. Whether you are brand new to yoga or you are coming back to the practice after a very long hiatus, the following tips will help you ease into the practice.\r\n\r\n<b>Wear Comfortable Clot</b><b>hes that Are Not Too Loose</b>\r\n\r\nYou will want to wear clothing that is comfortable, first and foremost. But be sure to not wear a shirt that is too loose. That big, comfy t-shirt you love? You won\'t feel as comfortable in it as it falls over your head when you are inverted in Downward Facing Dog Pose. A t-shirt is fine, as long as it has a tighter fit. You don\'t have to show up in a skin-tight, leotard-like ensemble or even the "yoga clothes" that you think you must wear to be a yogi, but you should wear something that will allow you to move comfortably and without wardrobe malfunction.\r\n\r\n<b>Barefoot Please</b>\r\n\r\nYoga is practiced barefoot for a couple important reasons. When your feet are in direct contact with the ground you will be better able to actually feel <i>how</i> you are standing on your feet. You will notice how you place your weight, and you will be able find stability using the muscles of your feet. Socks are not recommended because you could slip during practice. Yoga mats are designed for bare feet and hands. As an example, if you are standing with your legs in a V, in socks your feet would be more likely to slip outward, which could end with you in the splits or, more likely, with a pulled muscle.\r\n\r\n<b>Com</b><b>e with an Empty Stomach</b>\r\n\r\nIt is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach. When the stomach is full, movements such as forward folds, twists, and inversions are not very comfortable. As a general rule, you can eat a snack or light meal two hours before class or a large meal four hours before class. That will ensure you are most comfortable during the practice. Drinking fluids before class, however, is recommended to keep you hydrated.\r\n\r\n<b>Let Go of Judgment</b>\r\n\r\nThe other students in your class will likely have a range of abilities. You may find that you feel self-conscious or insecure about how you are doing the poses. You may feel that you “look like a fool” from time to time. Please know that the other students are much more focused on their own practice and are not nearly as preoccupied about you as you might think. We are much more likely to be judging our own practice than that of others. That too, however, must be released. Each day your practice will be different. The poses will feel slightly different, you will be in a different mental and emotional place, and your body will respond to the practice differently as time goes on. Instead of placing judgment on your practice, simply notice what is happening in the moment as well as over time, and leave it at that.\r\n\r\n<b>Yoga will alway<b>s be Practice</b></b>\r\n\r\nThis is one of the most comforting, yet often overlooked aspects of yoga. You may find that your competitive nature comes out during yoga practice, but please remember that there is no final competition, no presentation, no “perfect” pose. You are practicing, and will always be practicing yoga. Let that notion help take the pressure off that you should be practicing in any particular way. Listen to the cues of your body, and keep practicing.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'What to Know for Your First Yoga Class', 'If you are brand new to yoga, there are a few things that you will want to know to prepare you for class.

One of the greatest benefits of cork flooring is the environmental impact – because it’s made from bark, the cork trees are simply peeled instead of cut down. Warm and soft under the feet, cork provides a comfortable, safe environment for your yoga practice. Additionally, we supply the studio with non-toxic, bio-degradable yoga mats and cork blocks. We also use all natural cleaning products, recycled paper products, and supply our tea station with organic tea.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3"][et_pb_text admin_label="about us title" background_layout="light" text_orientation="left" use_border_color="off" border_color="#ffffff" border_style="solid" header_font_size="40px"]\r\n\r\n<h2><span style="font-size: 40px;">About Us</span></h2>\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_slider admin_label="Post Slider" posts_number="99" include_categories="130" orderby="date_desc" show_arrows="on" show_pagination="off" show_more_button="off" content_source="on" use_manual_excerpt="on" show_meta="off" background_layout="light" show_image="on" image_placement="top" parallax="off" parallax_method="off" use_bg_overlay="off" use_text_overlay="off" text_overlay_color="rgba(57,48,44,0.6)" remove_inner_shadow="off" background_position="default" background_size="default" auto="on" auto_ignore_hover="off" hide_content_on_mobile="off" hide_cta_on_mobile="off" show_image_video_mobile="off" meta_letter_spacing="0" custom_button="off" button_letter_spacing="0" button_use_icon="default" button_icon_placement="right" button_on_hover="on" button_letter_spacing_hover="0" background_color="rgba(255,255,255,0)" auto_speed="8000" custom_css_slide_description="text-align: left !important;" header_font_size="32"]\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_post_slider][et_pb_text admin_label="About Us Text" background_layout="light" text_orientation="left" use_border_color="off" border_color="#ffffff" border_style="solid"]\r\n\r\nVoted Preferred Yoga Studio in 2009, 2010, and 2011 by Natural Awakenings Magazine, The Yoga Sanctuary is recognized for its highly qualified teaching staff.

Even teachers can assume that students are grounded during class simply because they are standing, but without a proper ground, the asana, or posture, will falter (both internally, on the part of the practitioner, as well as outwardly noticeable). Many people are not entirely aware of what it means to “ground.”\r\n\r\nTo properly ground we must start at, well, the ground. Any part of the body that is touching the ground--usually the feet, legs, hips, and/or hands--should get first focus during any pose. To ground the feet, for example, pay attention to the foot at the base of the toes, beginning with the ball of the foot (the base of the big toe) and moving out toward the little toe. It can be helpful to lift the toes, spread them apart, and place them back on the ground to really feel the connection between the entire top of the foot.\r\n\r\nThe heel must also be grounded. Think of the base of the big toe, base of the little toe, and the heel as a tripod--a structure that greatly stabilizes anything it holds up (in this case, you). With grounded feet, feel the legs activate as they push the feet into the ground. From this stable place, feel the spine lengthen as the full expression of the pose is realized.\r\n\r\nWhen the hands, sit bones, or any other part of the body is in contact with the ground, make a conscious effort to establish a firm ground first and then feel the posture blossom from this stability. If the hands are in contact with the ground, spread the fingers wide and push the base of the fingers, as well as the knuckles, into the ground as if you are pushing the ground away from you. Feel the arms activate and let the spine naturally lengthen as the posture comes to fruition.\r\n\r\nIf your sit ones are the grounded body part, feel the weight equalize between the sit bones. You might shift back and forth between them to feel the weight balance out. Then feel the sit bones push into the ground as you establish firm contact. From there, the legs and core will activate, and the spine can safely lengthen upward. No matter the posture, begin by grounding—through whatever area of the body is in contact with the ground—and your practice will grow from a strong foundation.', 'Grounding - what does it mean and why do we do it?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2504-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-11-08 18:21:10', '2016-11-08 23:21:10', '', 2504, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2016/11/2504-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

This fall my husband Mike and I will celebrate our 50<sup>th</sup> wedding anniversary. Our daughter Kelly lives in Medford, Oregon.\n\nMy first yoga class was in 1969—before Bonnie was born! Unfortunately, at that time there wasn’t much interest in yoga, so the class did not last. Much later, in 1995, a yoga studio opened in Des Moines and offered one class a week, which was better than no classes at all. I started going and fell in love with the practice. But after three years the teacher moved away and the studio closed. I was delighted when I met Bonnie, shortly before she opened her first studio, and found that a variety of classes would be offered. I’ve been coming to class ever since.\n\nI have always felt uncoordinated and physically inept. But I found that yoga allowed me to compete only against myself—no one seemed to judge my level of fitness. At first, I would hang out in the back of the studio near the wall. The wall was my best friend whenever the posture required balance. Now that I have been practicing a while, I find that my balance is better and I don’t need the extra support.\n\nI generally attend classes four days a week. When Ying Yoga is offered, I generally attend two classes in one day. On days when I don’t come to the studio, my practice suffers. I like the opportunity I get to take different levels of classes under the various instructors at the studio. Each teacher has a slightly different approach, and I benefit from all of them. I can usually be found in level 1, mixed, yin, and sometimes gentle classes. I’ve also signed up for several workshops and appreciate concentrating on specific areas.\n\nMy lower back is extremely weak and inflexible. It has always given me problems, but with continued yoga practice I have managed to avoid surgery. I still find it a challenge sometimes, but with stretching and core building done through my yoga classes, I don’t experience much back pain. I will always experience stiffness and limitations with my practice, but I feel as though my poses are getting better, my endurance is improving, and I always leave class in a positive frame of mind.\n\n<strong>Favorite pose:</strong> Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) because it lets me stretch and twist at the same time.\n\n<strong>My favorite quote:</strong> <i>“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”</i>\n\n<strong></strong><!--?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-->', 'Yogi of the Month-Rene Barton', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2831-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-11-10 20:35:31', '2016-11-11 01:35:31', '', 2831, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2016/11/2831-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Last month I wrote to answer the general question of<a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/yoga-therapy-a-holistic-approach-to-self-healing/"> “What is Yoga Therapy?”</a>. This month I want to talk more about the difference between a yoga therapy session as compared to a general yoga class or even a private yoga class.\r\n\r\nI’ll start by also addressing another question I am seeing a lot - “Isn’t all yoga therapeutic?”. My vague answer to this question is that yes it can be, and yet very often it is not. The reason being that we are all very different – different life stages, different health conditions, different mental and emotional states, different physical structures – so what is therapeutic for one student, may not be for the student on the next mat over. What is therapeutic for you one day or during one stage of your life, may not be so at a different time.\r\n\r\nYoga teachers are taught to lead classes that will be suitable to most people that attend. Yoga classes can be designed to attract a sub-set of students, for example gentle yoga and power yoga will attract different students, so the way the classes are taught will be based on what is suitable for the average student attending. If a student finds the style of class that suites their needs it may very well be therapeutic, and be giving them just what they need. However, if that same student goes through a major life change, experiences an injury, or a chronic illness, the same class may no longer be right for them.\r\n\r\nI often hear of students, and even yoga teachers, saying they cannot practice yoga because of an injury or an illness. It maybe they cannot practice in the way they were accustomed to or in a general class, yet there are so many ways to practice yoga that there is always something that is accessible and therapeutic. Helping clients find the practices that are therapeutic for them based on their individual physical, mental/emotional and spiritual needs is the role of the yoga therapist.\r\n\r\nPrior to any yoga therapy session, group or individual, clients will fill out an intake form providing the therapist the needed information to begin to develop a plan. Group sessions are kept small and geared toward specific health challenges, so that the therapist can develop classes that meet the therapeutic needs of all participants. At the beginning of any session, private or group, the therapist will do a check in, learning the current state of needs directly through the sharing of the client(s) and through trained observation, the planned session is then modified to reflect the current needs.\r\n\r\nWhen working privately the therapist may use additional assessment tools to really get to know and understand their clients, these may include structural assessments, such as testing range of motion, muscle strength, and flexibility, or mental/emotional inquiry through guided meditations and reflections. Each session is as unique as the individuals seeking help.\r\n\r\nTo close I would like to answer one last question, “Who should seek out working with a yoga therapist?”. My answer to this is anyone that is interested in learning how to improve well-being through being an active participant in the healing process. Yoga can be therapeutic for anyone that puts into action the tools that will specifically help in their healing process. You do not need to be a yogi, understand Sanskrit, or be interested in all aspects of yoga – the yoga therapist will meet you where you are and help to provide you with tools that fit into your lifestyle and integrate with any other medical approaches to healing.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Jaime Boswell</strong> is currently studying yoga therapy in the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy, an accredited 800-hour program of study.

The study of classical texts, such as the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabrata, Ramayana, the Vedas, and the Upanishads form the basis of Jnana Yoga. It is important to understand, however, that Jnana Yoga is not just about acquiring information. It is the integration of that knowledge in a way that opens up a wider perspective that is at the heart of Jnana Yoga.\r\n\r\nJust as the breath is the thread of the physical practice of yoga, the wisdom that comes from applying knowledge is the thread of Jnana Yoga. The accumulation of knowledge is certainly a part of Jnana Yoga, but more important is to truly understand the information in a way that goes far beyond words.\r\n\r\nJnana Yoga could begin with the recitation and contemplation of verses from a yogic text. Taking the time to meditate on new information allows it to sink into the psyche in a way that can widen the students understanding not only of the passage, but of life itself. This is Jnana Yoga. It is yet one more path to understand our true nature.\r\n\r\nJnana Yoga teaches that all preconceived notions must be left behind so as to not skew our perceptions. On a practical level, by simply cultivating curiosity about the world around us and the information we come into contact with on a daily basis, we can open ourselves up to a new way of understanding ourselves. By letting go of judgment and comparison when taking in new information, we may just find that we understand ourselves on a deeper level.', 'Jnana Yoga', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3095-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-05-31 11:27:24', '2017-05-31 15:27:24', '', 3095, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/3095-revision-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 26th, 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.

Ayurveda, which means knowledge of Life in Sanskrit, provides regimens to harmonize the mind/body constitution for optimal functioning. Jyotish, which means science of Light, is sacred Astronomy and is considered the eye of the Vedas. It is the science of time and the unfolding of karma. Jyotish reveals a map of timing, tendencies and habits. It allows us to elevate our awareness to rise above unconscious influences that bind us to suffering. Ayurveda and Jyotish are complimentary disciplines that bring us closer to experiencing our eternal nature.\r\n\r\nSince ancient times Ayurveda and Jyotish have been practiced together. The five basic elements of creation (space, air, fire, water and earth) give rise to the doshas of Ayurveda--<a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/kapha-dosha/">Kapha</a>,<a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/pitta-dosha/"> Pitta</a> and <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/vata-dosha/">Vata</a>. Disturbances in diet, weather and other factors create disturbances in the ayurvedic constitution of an individual and frequently result in ill-health. The planets and zodiac signs of Jyotish have associated doshas as well. Saturn and Gemini correspond to Vata, for example, and the Sun and Aires are classified as Pitta. Furthermore, each sign relates to a chakra and part of the body. An individual birth chart can reveal much about someone\'s natural ayurvedic constitution. Planetary transits through the sky and planetary cycles can also create disturbances that affect an individual. As such, ayurvedic constitution and potential timing for health and disease can be gleaned through understanding Jyotish. Both disciplines offer helpful corrective measures and, in this way, Medicine and Astrology are linked. And, not surprisingly, some ayurvedic experts are also astrologers.\r\n\r\nTake, as an example, someone with a Gemini Ascendant. The rising sign in Jyotish indicates the physical body and Gemini is a vata sign. The ruling planet then is Mercury which is also classified as vata. If Mercury is found in Libra, another air sign, an astrologer can safely assume there will be a strong vatic influence on the ayurvedic constitution. Much needed balance might be found if the Moon (mind) is in Pisces, a water sign, and Sun (vision) is in Virgo, an earth sign. When Mars, a fire planet, transits Leo, a fire sign (as is the case in the sky right now) more influences develop. For a Gemini ascendant, Mars rules the 6th house of disease, in fact, and temporary pittic disturbances would be likely. Rashes, digestive trouble, bleeding and headaches could be expected and actions could be taken to ameliorate discomfort, or at least, not to aggravate it. Understanding Ayurveda and Jyotish together can help us take responsibility for ourselves, let go of useless tendencies and avoid settling into a rut of painful experiences.

Worship of the Goddesses <em>Durga</em>, <em>Lakshmi</em> and <em>Saraswati</em> occur for three nights each. Prayers are performed, offerings are made and mantras are recited to honor and invoke the blessings of the Divine Mother.\r\n\r\nThe first three nights are devoted to <em>Durga</em>, which means "invincible" in Sanskrit. In Vedic energetics, <em>Durga</em> presides over the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">tamasic</a> realm and annihilation. She is depicted fearlessly riding a lion and carrying weapons in her many hands. Her job is to destroy the darkness, ignorance and weakness that interferes with spiritual growth. She is responsible for the first step of the spiritual journey to remove fear, pain, suffering and confusion. The simplest mantra for <em>Durga</em> is: "Om Dum Durgayei Namaha."\r\n\r\nFor the next three nights Goddess <em>Lakshmi</em> is honored. <em>Lakshmi</em> means "goal" in Sanskrit and she governs the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">rajasic</a> realm which allows for the enjoyment of worldly life. Shown with coins representing abundance, she assists in understanding the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/yamas-and-niyamas-in-the-new-year/">niyama</a> of <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/santosha/">Santosha</a>. At this point along the spiritual path, we can experience gratitude and appreciation for all we have received. The mantra for <em>Lakshmi</em> is "Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha."\r\n\r\nThe final three nights are dedicated to Goddess <em>Saraswati</em>, which means "essence of Self" in Sanskrit, and her dominion is the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-tamas-rajas-and-sattva/">sattvic</a> realm.<em> Saraswati</em> carries a book, mala and lute. She oversees learning, knowledge, and the Arts for those who have been prepared. Only when we have passed through the first two stages can we be ready to access <em>Saraswati\'s</em> blessings and, as a result, use acquired knowledge and higher consciousness for the welfare of all. Her mantra is "Om Shri Saraswatiya Namaha."\r\n\r\nOn the following tenth auspicious day of revival of the feminine aspect of God, devotees recommit to their worldly duties and vocations and to their <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/sadhana-by-gwen-burdick/">sadhana</a>.

While I find that I still push myself too hard – or navigate too easily to the extreme – I am learning everyday - and yoga has been essential to this development.\r\n\r\n<em>Miguel:</em> The greatest benefit is having the ability to have a singular thought, a singular movement – provide the mind, the body and the soul – an extension of energy that comes from a place deep within the earth.  Having that connection for just a few moments of yoga practice fills every part of my body with joy.\r\n\r\n<em>TYS: How has the yoga practice changed your health and life?</em> <em>Have you found any emotional or other benefits?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Nicole:</em> I now focus on practicing patience with myself and my body. While I still have pains and physical limitations, my effort is to listen to my body without judgement andto find ways to help the body, mind, and spirit as a whole. I am learning to allow my body to yell and scream at me – listen – and then move on. Unlike the past where I would try to fight back – Insisting that I had to be a certain way or able to do certain things – now my approach is to be accepting of what I can do today – and allowing myself to be happy with that.\r\n\r\n<em>Miguel:</em> By practicing yoga, I am able to bring balance to my every day.  I feel stronger and am able to enjoy coaching my kids in soccer and even teaching yoga to them on the field.\r\n\r\n<em>TYS: What is the best thing about sharing the yoga practice together? </em>\r\n\r\n<em>M &amp; N: </em>Finding a place in our lives where we can be together while still growing individually.  We simply love being together and encouraging each other.\r\n\r\n<em>TYS: What is your favorite yoga pose and why?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Nicole:</em>  Tree Pose.  This pose was very difficult for me at first and something that I set as a challenge to myself to be able to do.  I worked at it every day until I was able to do it well -  which made me proud.   At the same time, it is a pose that reminds me that every day is a new and different day, and that when my mind is out of balance, my body is too.\r\n\r\n<em>Miguel:</em> Mountain Pose.  For me mountain pose represents the beauty found in the silence of growing things.  While it may appear a simple pose – the focus to me is to bring the mind and the body in balance while absorbing the energy of the earth through the roots of our feet.\r\n\r\n<em>TYS: Do you have a favorite book or quote that you would like to share?</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Nicole:</em> Wherever you go – there you are...\r\n\r\n<em>Miguel:</em> Infinite spirit, open the way for divine design of my life to manifest; let the genius within me now be released; let me see clearly the perfect plan.', 'February Yogis of the Month: Miguel and Nicole Dotres', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5847-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-31 12:22:34', '2018-01-31 17:22:34', '', 5847, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5847-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Specifically, they are defined as Dharma (duty), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). If we are interested in spiritual evolution, they are guidelines to comport ourselves properly. Let us first examine the concept of Dharma or responsibility, the most difficult to understand in our current Western society.\n\nThe role we play in our families and society and the right conduct that follows is what is known as the dharmic path. Dharma is what we must do; the inner compass guides us. Duties and responsibilities that come with parenting, guardianship, teaching, providing or caregiving are examples and they change as life progresses. In the Gita, Krishna counsels reluctant Arjuna and reminds him that he is a warrior and, therefore, must fight. "It is better to do one\'s own duty, although imperfectly than another\'s duty perfectly," Krishna explains.\n\nAccording to Vedic Astrology, three houses, or bhavas in Sanskrit, are considered dharmic. They are the first house of the physical body, the fifth house of children, the ninth house of Guru. Influences on these houses are telling. A capable astrologer looking at an accurate birth chart can and will offer guidance to an individual who might be perplexed with the role he is to play at any point in life. Living without making one\'s own authentic contribution can make life appear pointless, and multifarious problems will arise. Consideration of the Purusharthas, therefore, becomes an important part of sadhana or spiritual practice.

It should not be the central focus of life. Proper expression of pleasure of the senses occurs when it is in harmony with the mind and spirit. The goal is to satisfy our desires and be freed from them, rather than to become increasingly snarled up in indulgence.\r\n\r\nThe Noble Truths, however, state that desire is the cause of all suffering. We can evaluate which desires cause pain and why, after which we can attempt to use the strong force of desire productively. With the help of contemplation and skillful action, we watch our desires evolve into something that supports dharma, artha and our spiritual practice in general. As we transform, so do our desires. We become capable of seeing the beauty and joy in everything, even hardship. Eventually we mature and wish to be of service to others.\r\n\r\nAccording to Vedic Astrology, three houses correspond to Kama. The third house of ego and personal interests shows where self-will grows into skillful action. The seventh house of relationships with others demonstrates how codependency evolves into cooperation. Finally, the eleventh house of gains indicates how blind ambition becomes service to others. Influences on these houses in an individual birth chart reveal how much self-created misery we might experience before we bring awareness to it.\r\n\r\nNext time we will consider the final aim, <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-fourth-aim-moksha/">Moksha</a>.', 'The Four Purusharthas: Kama', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'open', '', 'the-four-purusharthas-kama', '', '', '2018-06-01 16:37:44', '2018-06-01 20:37:44', '', 0, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/?p=5927', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Yoga therapy does not take the place of medical treatments. In fact, the yoga therapy approach provides tools that a student can use in concert with other approaches they are taking to treat their health conditions. Yoga therapists take into consideration the medical history of each student and any contraindications that may be a result of their unique history.\n\nIn this way yoga therapy meets individuals where they are with the intention to reduce suffering. The yoga sutras tell us suffering is always based on <em>Avidya</em> or ignorance, which is a lack of awareness resulting in separation from our true Self or true nature. Ignorance, or this separation from our true Self, is the root of all other obstacles that limit us from feeling our true nature of peace and joy. Wellbeing can be experienced through moving away from <em>Avidya</em> to <em>Vidya</em> or clarity. The yoga therapist is trained to help guide students toward <em>Vidya</em> through self-awareness, self-discovery and self-realization. Through increasing self-observation skills students become more and more self-aware through which suffering is reduced, and the experience of joy and peace naturally increases.\n\nThe tools that yoga therapists share with students are based on treating individuals at all levels of their being. The physical asana practice can be used to reduce suffering in the body by bringing awareness to imbalances in the skeletal, muscular and other systems of the body. Pranayama, mudras, mantras and work with chakras can bring awareness to imbalances or blockages in the flow of energy through the body. Awareness of and healing of patterns of the mind and spirit are developed through meditative practices, affirmations and other tools of self-reflection.\n\nThe yoga therapy tools can not be applied like a prescription for a specific health condition. The yoga therapist can guide individuals or groups of individuals in the use of tools to reduce suffering. The healing, however, will take place through a student’s commitment to developing self-awareness, identifying the tools that work for them, and using those tools and a commitment to practice to come back into unity with their true-Self and true nature.\n\nYoga Therapy is currently a self-regulated field of professional practice. The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) developed the <em>Educational Standards for the Training of Yoga Therapists</em> in 2012. In 2014 IAYT began accrediting Yoga Therapy Schools based on their ability to meet the educational standards. Yoga therapists that have either demonstrated competency through a grandfathering process, or who have completed training through an accredited school receive the C-IAYT certification.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href="https://www.jboswellyoga.com/">Jaime Boswell</a> is currently studying yoga therapy in the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy, an accredited 800-hour program of study. As part of the certification process Jaime is working on a practicum under the guidance of a certified yoga therapist, and anticipates completing her studies in 2018. The Yoga Sanctuary is excited to have Jaime present a 10-week series entitled: Therapeutic Yoga for Improving Sleep, Concentration and Overall Well-Being.

It dominates the <em>Pitta</em> dosha of Ayurveda. Agni allows for heat, light, color and vision and is essential for combustion, cooking and our ability to digest food. When the element of fire within us is unsupervised, it will lead to mental frustration and irritability. Anger, aggression, fury, and rage can easily follow. It is the root cause of most combativeness. Agni also expresses as enthusiasm and desire. Its power can be used to satisfy one\'s own needs and wants, or it can be used for the benefit of all. In its highest expression, however, Agni is the source of self-discipline, purification and transformation.\n\nThe Vedic fire ceremony is an instrument that harnesses this sattvic quality of Agni. The Vedic fire ritual, known as Homa, Puja or Yajna, is considered sacred. This ancient ritual is performed at precise times depending on celestial events. Daily sunrises and sunsets, monthly lunation cycles or major planetary transits are used as guides for timing. In mundane life they are used in celebration of birth, marriage or death. A "kunda", a square pit that faces all four directions, is used to contain the fire. Practitioners offer into it gifts of grains, ghee, herbs and seeds as specific mantras are repeated. The sacred fire coupled with prayerful intention removes fear, spreads joy, burns karma, purifies the environment and creates conditions for peace and prosperity.

This ancient ritual is performed at precise times depending on celestial events. Daily sunrises and sunsets, monthly lunation cycles or major planetary transits are used as guides for timing. In mundane life they are used in celebration of birth, marriage or death. A "kunda", a square pit that faces all four directions, is used to contain the fire. Practitioners offer into it gifts of grains, ghee, herbs and seeds as specific mantras are repeated.

Fire, or <em>Agni</em> in Sanskrit, is a transformational force of purification and creation, and indigenous cultures have been infusing this sacred element with prayers, reverence, and intention as a means to connect with the Divine.  Specifically in the Peruvian tradition, fire ceremonies have been used throughout the ages as a means of ritual, celebration and connection with the Universe because of their potent form of prayer.\r\n\r\nIt is known that fire is a powerful, purifying element that invites us to make physical and emotional offerings.  Whether releasing anything that needs to be transmuted or manifesting something into creation, fire is an effective tool for shifting and facilitating change.  Ultimately, it is the sincerity of intention that will make any fire ceremony dynamic.\r\n\r\nIn the Shamanic tradition, fire is seen as the fastest way to transform energy, as the flames consume our intentions, prayers and sankulpa and turn them into vibrations that are received by Spirit.  It is said that burning wood releases years of trapped sunlight -- similarly, it carries our dense and heavy emotions and transforms them into light.  So whether we partake in a wood burning or candlelit fire ceremony, it is certain that this spark of life will shift and transform us in a subtle yet life-altering way.\r\n\r\nJoin both Lisa Ahrens and Gwen Burdick for quarterly Sacred Ceremonial Gatherings at The Yoga Sanctuary!

This week, we become more aware of the people, things, and situations for which we are thankful. The practice of cultivating gratitude is part of the science of positive psychology. Studies have found that gratitude can increase levels of well-being and happiness in those who cultivate it.\r\n\r\nBut we don’t need science to prove that gratitude feels good. Sit for a moment and think about the things you are most grateful for. The things that first come to mind might be family, close friends, a stable career, fulfilling activities, a comfortable home, or good health. Feeling grateful for these things brings about a sense of happiness and fulfillment. When cultivating gratitude, this is a great place to start.\r\n\r\nNow, let’s take the practice one step further: Once you’ve experienced gratitude for those things most dear to you, begin to expand your gratitude to those things you might not consider as deserving much thanks. You might be grateful that the grocery store is close to your home. Or, you might cultivate gratitude when you finish a yoga class, being thankful to yourself for giving the time and space to practice. Giving thanks for these everyday events will help you to notice the small things you might usually take for granted.\r\n\r\nNext, take your cultivation of gratitude to the next level: Try to be thankful for the not-so-pleasant things in life. You might be thankful for that fifth red light (in a row!), because it helped you cultivate patience, and possibly saved you from an accident. Or, you might be thankful for that overly talkative relative, because you know that, despite the excessive chattiness, she would be there for you if you needed her. In your yoga practice, cultivate gratitude for your most nemesis of poses. Be thankful for the lessons the asana brings you, or for those lessons that have not yet revealed themselves. This will help deepen your practice.\r\n\r\nCultivating gratitude for the little things, the big things, and the difficult things, has the potential to change your perspective in a very positive way. Many experts recommend maintaining a gratitude journal, a notebook in which you record the things you are grateful for each day. You could also make it a habit to share with your family the things you are thankful for each night at dinner, taking your Thanksgiving tradition into the rest of your year.', 'gratitude', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2109-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-11-16 21:57:01', '2016-11-17 02:57:01', '', 2109, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2016/11/2109-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Gratitude has a way of opening the heart to compassion and love. Fostering gratitude in our lives can help us to feel happier and more spiritually balanced.\r\n\r\nIn The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, we are introduced to The Eight Limbs of Yoga. The first two limbs are the yamas and niyamas, the ethical yoga guidelines to be practiced both on and off the yoga mat. Niyama, our observances, is the second of limb of yoga. Santosha, the yogic practice of cultivating contentment, is one of the niyamas.\r\n\r\nIn The Yoga Sutra II.42, Patanjali says "By contentment, supreme joy is gained." Contentment means just to be as we are without going to outside things for our happiness. TKV Desikachar translates this Sutra as "The result of contentment is total happiness." The happiness we get from acquiring posessions is only temporary. We need to continually find new possesions to sustain this sort of happiness. There is no end to it. But true contentment leads to total happiness and bliss.\r\n\r\nSantosha is the experience of unconditional happiness, a state that allows us to find contentment in any situation. "If we depend on objects and activities for our happiness, like chocolate, shopping, napping, or even sticking to the poses we love most, we will constantly be searching outside of ourselves," says Yoga Master Cindy Lee. Contentment, or unconditional happiness, is independence from external conditions.\r\n\r\nContentment is learning to embrace what is right in front of you and to stop yearning for what is missing. As the holidays approach, try to carry this principle of santosha into your life off of the mat. Allow yourself to experience true happiness, even as you are faced with challenges this holiday season. Remember that "by contentment, supreme joy is gained."\r\n\r\nFollow this simple meditation on gratitude this month to experience the truth of this Thanksgiving holiday season. Come into a comfortable seated posture, on the floor or in a chair. Close your eyes and allow yourself to relax by taking 10 slow, deep breaths. When you feel relaxed and comfortable, put your attention on your heart and for the next few minutes, think of all the things in your life that you could be grateful for. Just sit there quietly. As you think of all the things that you could be grateful for, experience the warmth that gratitude brings into your heart. There is so much to be grateful for and this feeling of gratitude brings even deeper feelings of love, compassion, and understanding into your heart. Sit quietly with these feelings for a few minutes, and when you\'re ready, slowly open your eyes.', 'gratitude', 'As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a time to focus on gratitude, or santosha!

To engage with one is to engage with the whole.

Last week, I had the honor of being with Panditji for a weekend lecture on Tantra. This powerful aspect of yoga is often mistaken for mysterious sexual practices. In fact, Tantra is obtaining "a deeper understanding of the web of life that pervades all."\r\n\r\nThe rishis, the Indian "seers", understood that the individual (atman) is simply a greater part of the universal intelligence (brahman). Therefore, we\'re part of the universal force playing out our own roles, working out our own actions (karma). According to Tantra, the human being is a miniature universe, a perfect equation between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Just as the universe consists of the 5 elements, so do the individuals. We are animated by the life force (prana) which is carried on the breath.\r\n\r\nScience explains this concept as the big bang theory. At one point, all of the matter and energy in the universe was contained. When this explosion (the big bang) happened, all that was in the universe was split into many fragments. However, all of the fragments still contained the same matter and energy that the universe contained. This is what Tantra says, all that exists in the universe (the 5 elements), exists in the individual.\r\n\r\nOur goal in Tantra is to understand once again the connectivity between all and become happier, healthier, more peaceful, and more prosperous individuals. The tools of Tantra help students release ignorance (avidya), which is what keeps us trapped in the same cycle and awaken the dormant force (shakti) that is within us in the most effective and logical manner. Panditji says to "keep an open mind to absorb knowledge. Stop ignorance and classifying. Who cares if it comes from Buddha, Christ, Patanjali, Swami Rama or anyone else, be open to the knowledge around yoga."\r\n\r\nTantra teaches us how the breath ignites the body and the mind. If you know the force behind the breath (prana), then you can move the breath and guide prana from one energy center (chakra) to another. Prana is our vitality. It\'s what moves in you that makes everything else move within you. It\'s the energy that keeps us alive. When prana leaves the body we die. Tantric practices are designed to cultivate sensitivity to prana and shakti.

Many are pleasant, and some, well, not so pleasant. The not-so-pleasantness shows up as resistance—physical, mental, and emotional resistance. This is a natural part of the practice. The tendency is to pull back away from resistance, however.\r\n\r\nIf instead, we recognize the resistance at face value—simply resistance—and then find ease, somewhere, somehow, the experience will change. When resistance shows up during practice, finding ease can help you ride the wave without getting discouraged.\r\n\r\nAs an example, think about the last time you attempted a posture that was very difficult. In a difficult posture many muscles contract, the face contorts, and the breath becomes labored, or even ceases altogether. The mind becomes agitated, and emotions run high. Although it can be a challenge to do anything else at this time, the best thing to do is seek ease.\r\n\r\nPhysically, it will be helpful to find an area of the body to relax. It may be that the jaw and face are the most accessible areas to relax. This a great place to start. Mentally, you can most find ease by bringing your attention back to the breath. Inhale. Exhale. Emotionally, the same rule applies: find your breath. In this way, ease will make its way back into your experience, and the experience itself will change.\r\n\r\nFinding ease on our mats is excellent practice for life off the mat where resistance comes in many forms. By finding ease on the mat, even in small ways, it becomes more natural to find ease off the mat. Perhaps during a difficult experience you may more easily find ease by coming to your breath, if even for a moment. This small gesture can have profound effects on your relationships, your reaction to events, and your sense of peace. By finding ease in even the small places—on or off the mat—resistance will melt away.', 'resistance, meet ease', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2488-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-11-16 22:12:21', '2016-11-17 03:12:21', '', 2488, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2016/11/2488-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Life gets busier and expectations run high as time runs out. Emotions go up and down, to do lists go on and on (and on), and it can seem that the very process leading up to the grand celebrations are hardly worth the stress. The ebb and flow of life may just reach its pinnacle during the holiday season.\r\n\r\nThankfully, the practice of yoga prepares us for the highs and lows of the season. For through yoga we are able to find our center, the calm within the storm, the eye of the hurricane. The holidays offer us a great opportunity to tune into the present moment because it’s a challenge. To be able to find calm amidst chaos takes practice—lots of practice. And so we practice this season.\r\n\r\nWhen holiday shopping, for example, take a moment to step back and observe your surroundings. Notice the other people around you, notice the interactions between people, notice how you feel, and notice your breath. Oh yeah, the breath. The simple act of finding your breath—even in the middle of the shopping mall (especially in the middle of the shopping mall)—will help you to connect to that ever-present calm within. Use this. Everywhere.\r\n\r\nAlthough your schedule may be filled to the max this month, please find time to relax. It’s essential for our self-preservation that we have some down time. Come to your mat—for a class, for a practice outdoors, or even for ten minutes to start your day. Use this time to find your center so that you may find it off the mat as well. Indeed, the yoga practice sets us up to be able to do just that.\r\n\r\nThis season, take notice: Notice those moments when you are able to practice the concepts of yoga off the mat. Knowing that you hold this potential within you, always, will help you sail through the season with ease.
