Unlike the seven visible planets, Grahas in Sanskrit, they are massless yet potent mathematical points in space, sometimes referred to as the shadow planets. Our solar system is structured such that it takes approximately 365 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun and approximately 28 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth. These two orbital paths are independent of one another. Twice a year, however, the paths intersect creating solar and lunar eclipses. For a short time, the Sun or Moon is overtaken by the darkness of one of the nodes. Rahu is the ascending point where the Moon\'s orbit cuts through the Earth\'s orbit. Ketu is the descending point. They are always opposite each other in the sky or birth chart, and the main force of karma and desire can be seen along its axis. Their function in Vedic Astrology is better understood if we familiarize ourselves with its associated myth.\r\n\r\nThe story is told in the ancient Puranic texts of the time before creation. After a long and horrible war, the gods and demons cooperated to churn the galactic material called the Milk Ocean. This activity created Amrita, a nectar of immortality intended for the gods alone. One of the demons, however, sitting between the Sun and Moon, managed to take a sip. Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the Universe, quickly decapitated him. Rahu is the head of the serpent demon without the body. Ketu is the tail without the head. As they were now immortal, Lord Vishnu needed to find a spot for them, so he placed them in two specific points in the sky. By eclipsing the Sun and Moon twice a year they can create confusion and exact revenge.\r\n\r\nThe misunderstanding of our true nature allows us to exist under the illusion that we are separate from the universal law of creation. According to Vedic wisdom, each planet is an expression of our own divine consciousness. The nodes bring together Earth (body), Sun (soul) and Moon (mind), making them among the most influential in Astrology. In the planetary cabinet, Rahu is the advancing army. He has a voracious appetite without, however, the ability to digest. He is responsible for obsessions and desires that push us to our limits. Wherever Rahu is there is inexperience. Ketu is the occupying army. He governs things we have learned very well. He withdraws and leads us out. He can confer contempt or wisdom, then non-attachment, and ultimately moksha or liberation. In an individual birth chart or by transit in the sky, the Rahu/Ketu axis tells us what we absolutely must do so we may be freed from worldly desire. The nodal axis travels slowly, changing zodiac signs once every year and a half. But wherever they are, Rahu and Ketu create confusion. Rahu\'s domain is the confusion of ignorance; Ketu\'s territory is the confusion of certainty. The study and understanding of Vedic Astrology is itself a spiritual practice which naturally engenders reverence for its inherent guidance and wisdom.', 'The Myth of RAHU and KETU:  the Lunar Nodes', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5741-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-10-29 09:05:21', '2017-10-29 13:05:21', '', 5741, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5741-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

I started practicing yoga with Bonnie when she taught at the Punta Gorda Club, and I accepted her as my teacher. It became apparent that what I needed was the inward focus of yoga after a life of an outward (and reactive) business career.\n\nWhen we dig deeper and probe the seven limbs beyond asana, the relationship between these tenets and our working lives becomes profound. My early education in a Catholic parochial school taught me the value of truth: the alternative was not tolerated. Nor was it tolerated at home. Early on in my career I learned something from a wise mentor. It is easy to manufacture an answer when asked a question. But if that turns out to be incorrect that mistake can haunt and compound. Instead, these words are always acceptable: "I don\'t know, but I\'ll find out." And then you do!\n\nIn my years of career work I gravitated toward customer service. Technically I was in sales as a fully-commissioned independent sales representative. So no sales, no paycheck. And our sales cycle was typically 2-3 years and the products were highly engineered and tested before introduction. Losing business over a problem was a constant fear. I became a problem solver. Our customers came to count on me because I strived to be honest and truthful and would follow through on what I said. This is <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001YTixrjZ_zAtBqVC2-uVXRjatdvb4Iuedmd58l5MjlEzuuClgjbfYdBwAUovzTHVaKAcNmcPEdgnPKCSaDyEISjcpwlP_z516wbHVn8NxI8-QUcZ9osqX3wiWzwa55_HidWbYiTOkWL-1lcHrUPAicK4VQPsuYwN8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Satya</b></a> - truth in action. Most of the time the problems were not that easily solvable, but through methodical, painstaking, and creative interplay with customers (the operative word here) a solution could be reached. This is where the <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001YTixrjZ_zAtBqVC2-uVXRjatdvb4Iuedmd58l5MjlEzuuClgjbfYdBwAUovzTHVaKAcNmcPEdgnPKCSaDyEISjcpwlP_z516wbHVn8NxI8-QUcZ9osqX32XHGHeLR1vpgi_Y6yDx9xH-Ger3DGqgIY1FMdehOxqodjwYDw2SOaA=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Niyamas</b></a>, which are the limbs of discipline, relate to business. We deal with people, so we to take care of the people and the problem.\n\nI learned the emotional side of problem solving. First, be calm and compassionate. Understand how this problem really affects the person you are dealing with. What is really important-is someone hurt? People first, problem second. Respond quickly and be available. Identify and methodically problem solve. And be creative. The meaning of those buzz words is really important (paradigm shift was my favorite). Ah... and this comes to mind as I write this-isn\'t asana all about the methodology, a nod to Mr. Iyengar and Jennifer.\n\nWe must, above all, be compassionate (<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001YTixrjZ_zAtBqVC2-uVXRjatdvb4Iuedmd58l5MjlEzuuClgjbfYdBwAUovzTHVaKAcNmcPEdgnPKCSaDyEISjcpwlP_z516wbHVn8NxI8-QUcZ9osqX36OfrdtMY0tZ53X-V8ENT-3vm36svZ1QUYXZ0X8WRfu8rEPXB6HoKsI=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>Ahimsa</b></a>) in our dealings with everyone we come in contact with. This is for me the absolute number one yoga tenet that has come into my life. We cannot discount the emotional action and reaction that occurs with every personal chat, transaction, or seemingly minor remark.\n\nAt The Yoga Sanctuary we hope that when our clients and students purchase something from our boutique they feel that we have treated them fairly and that we value their business. We work with our supply base to make sure the products that we offer are high quality and made in factories that have sustainable, compassionate business practices. If there is ever a situation that is otherwise I ask that a personal contact or note to me is always acceptable and encouraged. I pledge to provide a mutually agreeable solution.\n\n&nbsp;', 'Staff Spotlight: Cathy Getz', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2930-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-04-06 17:45:37', '2018-04-06 21:45:37', '', 2930, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/2930-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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 22:19:32', '2020-03-17 02:19:32', '', 6907, 'https://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/6907-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. It just feels good to stretch the front body and reminds me of my youth when I could easily do backbends unassisted.\r\n\r\nTo maintain a regular practice, I find I have to schedule time to do yoga in my calendar the same way I have to write down the date and time to attend a meeting.\r\n\r\nOutside of yoga, I love kayaking and making art when I can.\r\n\r\nMy favorite quote is, “One is not born a woman. One becomes one.” —Simone de Beauvoir (It speaks to strength, growth, and experience.)', 'Meet The Yoga Sanctuary’s 2017 Teacher Training Graduates….Amy Kindred', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'meet-the-yoga-sanctuarys-2017-teacher-training-graduates-amy-kindred', '', '', '2019-08-14 15:10:37', '2019-08-14 19:10:37', '', 0, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/?p=5534', 0, 'post', '', 0);

"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<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. It just feels good to stretch the front body and reminds me of my youth when I could easily do backbends unassisted.\r\n\r\nTo maintain a regular practice, I find I have to schedule time to do yoga in my calendar the same way I have to write down the date and time to attend a meeting.\r\n\r\nOutside of yoga, I love kayaking and making art when I can.\r\n\r\nMy favorite quote is, “One is not born a woman. One becomes one.” —Simone de Beauvoir (It speaks to strength, growth, and experience.)', 'Meet The Yoga Sanctuary’s 2017 Teacher Training Graduates….Amy Kindred', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5534-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-05-31 09:00:07', '2017-05-31 13:00:07', '', 5534, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5534-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It is an almost perfect sphere of gas (mostly Hydrogen and Helium) 860,000 miles in diameter and 92,000,000 miles away from Earth. Its size /distance ratio is the sacred 108. <em>Surya</em> burns at an average 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit and its mass is 330,000 times that of Earth. Light emitted from the surface takes 8 minutes to travel to Earth and this energy allows for all life forms to exist on our planet. The other planets in our solar system can be seen only because they reflect the light of the Sun.\r\n\r\nAccording to Vedic Astrology texts, the planets are the incarnations of Lord Vishnu, the sustainer. <em>Surya</em> is the<em> Para Atman</em> or the Supreme Self; it is the singular Inner Light or Spirit. He is the <em>sattvic</em> king of the planets and he rules Sundays and the zodiac sign of Leo. His associated color is red and gem is ruby. In so far as the inner and outer zodiac are inseparable, the Sun corresponds to the third eye chakra. Surya fortifies and vitalizes us, conferring self-confidence, consistent vision and dignity. His job is to purify anything that does not serve our highest Self. He is benevolent but firm.\r\n\r\nAlthough the Earth revolves around the stationary Sun, from our vantage point <em>Surya</em> appears to move along the 360 degree path in the sky that is called the ecliptic and its strength, therefore, is always in relative flux. This also means that in an individual birth chart, the sacred mandala of karma, the possible combinations for positions of <em>Surya</em> and the sign of Leo are enormous. Knowledge of these locations assists in determining where and how much personal power lies within any of us. Even without this information, we can grasp the impact and miracle of the Sun. Deepening our <em>sadhana</em> by including Salute to the Sun into our daily hatha practice cannot fail us, nor can introducing the Sun mantra into our daily meditation. Om Sum Suryaya Namaha.

You regularly tune into the Tennis Channel to watch your favorite players in tournaments far and wide. You aspire to fashion your game by mimicking the stroke mechanics, movement, strategy and tactics of the tour’s big boys and girls to the best of your ability. Yet, strangely, clubbers mostly fail to model themselves after the breathing techniques of the best players on the planet.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the ubiquitous use of term “grunting” has done a great disservice in discouraging breathing – a highly essential component of the game - among club mortals, both overtly and subliminally, by putting such a negative spin on it.\r\n\r\nA never ending curiosity to me, it’s a lingering epidemic in club tennis that’s, embarrassingly, left unaddressed by far too many teaching pros.\r\n\r\nI’ve dutifully covered the subject in both my books – <em>More Than Just the Strokes </em>and <em>Tennis Game Theory – </em>apparently to little avail in my current part of the tennis world where the books have sold well.\r\n\r\nPlayers continue to misperceive the nothing but positive, multi-faceted manifestations that breathing out, exhaling, at the ball striking moment can provide your existing game almost immediately, yet commonly viewed as unimportant.\r\n\r\nHers’s a review of the 5 benefits that simultaneously occur if you’re <em>not </em>stressfully holding your breath for dear life at shot impact:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>It is essential, particularly in a hard fought rally, to prevent one from going into oxygen debt, which, once the red light goes on, will completely undermine your focus on the task at hand, sap your stamina, and not to mention, especially if you’re older and in hot/humid conditions, put your cardio-respiratory health at serious risk.</li>\r\n 	<li>Breathing out through the moment of racket-on-ball contact also adds easy power to your shots by reducing muscle tension, promoting physical relaxation, and optimizing racket swing weight.</li>\r\n 	<li>Additionally, it triggers an emotional calmness at that stressful shot making moment. Keep in mind that the issue may actually be more “emotional toughness” than “mental toughness,” as is typically noted.</li>\r\n 	<li>Also, the physicality involved in breathing out will also do wonders in eliminating all too common left brain over-thinking, which will literally distract your eyes from the ball at the crucial moment, creating a glazed over non-focus. Think deer-in-the-headlights.</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, and overlooked by some of the very best club pros otherwise, and completely unrecognized by others, it enhances the mechanical synchronicity, and all its connected parts – kinetic chain - involved in timing the optimal ball striking moment. Right place, right time, right moment.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMy colleague, Margit Bannon, a USPTA tennis professional <em>and</em> Yoga Professional, recently offered me her take on the breathing component: “Breathing brings a certain fluidity to the tennis stroke in a way that nothing else can. Every other lesson I get asked by students for ‘more power,’ but what they fail to realize is that it is in the <em>letting go</em> of the breath (the exhalation/grunt if you will) that we experience that effortless expression of the stroke we are looking for. In other words, stop trying to muscle the ball (which would create more tension, etc), let go, breathe into the letting go of the stroke for that ultimate release to where it might actually feel good to hit the ball while adding more pace. Who doesn’t want that?”\r\n\r\nI have come to believe that players are timid about breathing, creating a negative mind-set and foolish embarrassment over trying to be “like the pros” with regard to this one, and only one, technique. Huh? As previously noted, they are eager and motivated to model themselves in every other way. But not breathing. I estimate that 70% of club players, perhaps even more, fit this profile.\r\n\r\nIn a game where one has to recognize the speed, spin, and trajectory of an incoming shot, calculate an optimal where and when position to intercept it, and then decide what their shot response will be in mere milliseconds, you need all the help you can get at the ball striking moment of truth. Get over it!\r\n\r\nI have found great success in getting otherwise perfectly good players, but nonetheless breath-holders, to find “their noise,” and improve their game right off. On tour, every player has a signature sound – some even utilize two syllables - that they make while exhaling. It does not have to be the blood curdling screams of the Sharapovas, Azarankas, Williams sisters, Nadals, and, regrettably, many more of the pro world. Ridiculous and bad for the game…where’s the decibel meter? Conversely, you have to turn the volume up on your television to hear the greatest male tennis player of all-time, Roger Federer, breathing. Enough said about volume, although I’d love to know Rod Laver’s take on the subject.\r\n\r\nOne of the techniques the Father and original proponent of the term “mental toughness,” renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr, used in his early groundbreaking programs (early 80s) for those initially uncomfortable and self-conscious with the practice was to say the word “yes” while striking the ball, a very viable substitute for actually exhaling. With committed use over time that “yes” will morph into <em>your</em> signature sound.\r\n\r\nNext time out start either making a relatively quiet noise, or saying “yes,” through impact right from the first ball in the warm-up, and continue it throughout the entire match, or practice session without fail. Make it your #1 goal for that day. Trust me, once you become more comfortable with the task you’ll see a marked improvement in your game. If not – give it an honest try - contact me via email if you reside in SW Florida and I’ll offer you a free half-hour lesson to get you over the breathing hump.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.63" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Jak-Beardsworth.png" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" sticky="off" align="left" always_center_on_mobile="on" border_style="solid" force_fullwidth="off" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Bridging the Gap Between Your Yoga Practice and Your Tennis Game', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5613-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-08-07 17:16:50', '2017-08-07 21:16:50', '', 5613, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5613-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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\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- Kapha, Pitta and Vata. 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\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.

Right place, right time, right moment.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMy colleague, Margit Bannon, a USPTA tennis professional <em>and</em> Yoga Professional, recently offered me her take on the breathing component: “Breathing brings a certain fluidity to the tennis stroke in a way that nothing else can. Every other lesson I get asked by students for ‘more power,’ but what they fail to realize is that it is in the <em>letting go</em> of the breath (the exhalation/grunt if you will) that we experience that effortless expression of the stroke we are looking for. In other words, stop trying to muscle the ball (which would create more tension, etc), let go, breathe into the letting go of the stroke for that ultimate release to where it might actually feel good to hit the ball while adding more pace. Who doesn’t want that?”\r\n\r\nI have come to believe that players are timid about breathing, creating a negative mind-set and foolish embarrassment over trying to be “like the pros” with regard to this one, and only one, technique. Huh? As previously noted, they are eager and motivated to model themselves in every other way. But not breathing. I estimate that 70% of club players, perhaps even more, fit this profile.\r\n\r\nIn a game where one has to recognize the speed, spin, and trajectory of an incoming shot, calculate an optimal where and when position to intercept it, and then decide what their shot response will be in mere milliseconds, you need all the help you can get at the ball striking moment of truth. Get over it!\r\n\r\nI have found great success in getting otherwise perfectly good players, but nonetheless breath-holders, to find “their noise,” and improve their game right off. On tour, every player has a signature sound – some even utilize two syllables - that they make while exhaling. It does not have to be the blood curdling screams of the Sharapovas, Azarankas, Williams sisters, Nadals, and, regrettably, many more of the pro world. Ridiculous and bad for the game…where’s the decibel meter? Conversely, you have to turn the volume up on your television to hear the greatest male tennis player of all-time, Roger Federer, breathing. Enough said about volume, although I’d love to know Rod Laver’s take on the subject.\r\n\r\nOne of the techniques the Father and original proponent of the term “mental toughness,” renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr, used in his early groundbreaking programs (early 80s) for those initially uncomfortable and self-conscious with the practice was to say the word “yes” while striking the ball, a very viable substitute for actually exhaling. With committed use over time that “yes” will morph into <em>your</em> signature sound.\r\n\r\nNext time out start either making a relatively quiet noise, or saying “yes,” through impact right from the first ball in the warm-up, and continue it throughout the entire match, or practice session without fail. Make it your #1 goal for that day. Trust me, once you become more comfortable with the task you’ll see a marked improvement in your game. If not – give it an honest try - contact me via email if you reside in SW Florida and I’ll offer you a free half-hour lesson to get you over the breathing hump.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.63" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Jak-Beardsworth.png" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" sticky="off" align="left" always_center_on_mobile="on" border_style="solid" force_fullwidth="off" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Why Bother Breathing to Improve Your Game', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5613-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-08-07 17:30:01', '2017-08-07 21:30:01', '', 5613, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5613-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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>\n\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>\n\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built="1" fullwidth="off" specialty="off"][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" border_style="solid" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.82" box_shadow_position="outer"]\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\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 modified approach to our traditional yoga class allows all students to enjoy improved strength, balance, and flexibility.\n\n<strong>Sunrise Yoga</strong> is an early morning practice that helps you get a jump start on your day! This morning flow class is designed to awaken the body and mind. It will leave you feeling calm, energized, and ready to enter your day.\n\n<strong>Taichi </strong>is an ancient art that uses gentle flowing movements to promote relaxation, balance, and coordination. 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.\n\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.\n\n<a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/classes-wellness/yoga-classes/#yoga_schedule">View the Schedule and Sign-up</a>\n\n[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label="On-Site Yoga" title="On-Site Yoga" open="off" border_style="solid" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.82" box_shadow_position="outer"]\n\nThe Yoga Sanctuary offers on site yoga classes for businesses, local organizations, and even special events. 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.\n\nHere are a few options that we offer:\n\n<strong>Corporate Yoga</strong>\n\n<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. Contact us to find out how we can bring yoga to your office or offer corporate rates at our studio.\n\n<strong>On-Site Yoga</strong>\n\nThe Yoga Sanctuary provides on-site yoga classes to local organizations. The program is customized for each organization from actual classes currently offered at The Yoga Sanctuary in downtown Punta Gorda. At The Yoga Sanctuary, we believe Yoga is for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Yoga increases strength and flexibility while calming the mind through gentle postures and breathing techniques. A popular complement to competitive sports, yoga can effectively broaden the appeal of any fitness program. We serve many local Churches, Country Clubs, Marinas, and Activity Centers. Contact us to find out how we can bring yoga to your organization.\n\n<strong>Yoga Parties</strong>\n\nBegin your wedding day with a 75 minute yoga session designed to bring peace and tranquility to your special day. Yoga parties are also ideal themes for bridal parties, baby showers, bachelorette parties, and birthdays. A private yoga party is a great way to bond with others while nurturing your mind, body and spirit through the practice of yoga. We’ll provide everything including organic tea and cookies!

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"][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" border_style="solid" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.82" box_shadow_position="outer"]\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 modified approach to our traditional yoga class allows all students to enjoy improved strength, balance, and flexibility.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunrise Yoga</strong> is an early morning practice that helps you get a jump start on your day! This morning flow class is designed to awaken the body and mind. It will leave you feeling calm, energized, and ready to enter your day.\r\n\r\n<strong>Taichi </strong>is an ancient art that uses gentle flowing movements to promote relaxation, balance, and coordination. 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" border_style="solid" title_font_size="14" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" background_size="initial" _builder_version="3.0.82" box_shadow_position="outer"]\r\n\r\nThe Yoga Sanctuary offers on site yoga classes for businesses, local organizations, and even special events. 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.\r\n\r\nHere are a few options that we offer:\r\n\r\n<strong>Corporate Yoga</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>The Yoga Sanctuary at Work Program</strong> provides on-site yoga and corporate rates to local businesses.

You regularly tune into the Tennis Channel to watch your favorite players in tournaments far and wide. You aspire to fashion your game by mimicking the stroke mechanics, movement, strategy and tactics of the tour’s big boys and girls to the best of your ability. Yet, strangely, clubbers mostly fail to model themselves after the breathing techniques of the best players on the planet.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the ubiquitous use of term “grunting” has done a great disservice in discouraging breathing – a highly essential component of the game - among club mortals, both overtly and subliminally, by putting such a negative spin on it.\r\n\r\nA never ending curiosity to me, it’s a lingering epidemic in club tennis that’s, embarrassingly, left unaddressed by far too many teaching pros.\r\n\r\nI’ve dutifully covered the subject in both my books – <em>More Than Just the Strokes </em>and <em>Tennis Game Theory – </em>apparently to little avail in my current part of the tennis world where the books have sold well.\r\n\r\nPlayers continue to misperceive the nothing but positive, multi-faceted manifestations that breathing out, exhaling, at the ball striking moment can provide your existing game almost immediately, yet commonly viewed as unimportant.\r\n\r\nHers’s a review of the 5 benefits that simultaneously occur if you’re <em>not </em>stressfully holding your breath for dear life at shot impact:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>It is essential, particularly in a hard fought rally, to prevent one from going into oxygen debt, which, once the red light goes on, will completely undermine your focus on the task at hand, sap your stamina, and not to mention, especially if you’re older and in hot/humid conditions, put your cardio-respiratory health at serious risk.</li>\r\n 	<li>Breathing out through the moment of racket-on-ball contact also adds easy power to your shots by reducing muscle tension, promoting physical relaxation, and optimizing racket swing weight.</li>\r\n 	<li>Additionally, it triggers an emotional calmness at that stressful shot making moment. Keep in mind that the issue may actually be more “emotional toughness” than “mental toughness,” as is typically noted.</li>\r\n 	<li>Also, the physicality involved in breathing out will also do wonders in eliminating all too common left brain over-thinking, which will literally distract your eyes from the ball at the crucial moment, creating a glazed over non-focus. Think deer-in-the-headlights.</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, and overlooked by some of the very best club pros otherwise, and completely unrecognized by others, it enhances the mechanical synchronicity, and all its connected parts – kinetic chain - involved in timing the optimal ball striking moment. Right place, right time, right moment.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMy colleague, Margit Bannon, a USPTA tennis professional <em>and</em> Yoga Professional, recently offered me her take on the breathing component: “Breathing brings a certain fluidity to the tennis stroke in a way that nothing else can. Every other lesson I get asked by students for ‘more power,’ but what they fail to realize is that it is in the <em>letting go</em> of the breath (the exhalation/grunt if you will) that we experience that effortless expression of the stroke we are looking for. In other words, stop trying to muscle the ball (which would create more tension, etc), let go, breathe into the letting go of the stroke for that ultimate release to where it might actually feel good to hit the ball while adding more pace. Who doesn’t want that?”\r\n\r\nI have come to believe that players are timid about breathing, creating a negative mind-set and foolish embarrassment over trying to be “like the pros” with regard to this one, and only one, technique. Huh? As previously noted, they are eager and motivated to model themselves in every other way. But not breathing. I estimate that 70% of club players, perhaps even more, fit this profile.\r\n\r\nIn a game where one has to recognize the speed, spin, and trajectory of an incoming shot, calculate an optimal where and when position to intercept it, and then decide what their shot response will be in mere milliseconds, you need all the help you can get at the ball striking moment of truth. Get over it!\r\n\r\nI have found great success in getting otherwise perfectly good players, but nonetheless breath-holders, to find “their noise,” and improve their game right off. On tour, every player has a signature sound – some even utilize two syllables - that they make while exhaling. It does not have to be the blood curdling screams of the Sharapovas, Azarankas, Williams sisters, Nadals, and, regrettably, many more of the pro world. Ridiculous and bad for the game…where’s the decibel meter? Conversely, you have to turn the volume up on your television to hear the greatest male tennis player of all-time, Roger Federer, breathing. Enough said about volume, although I’d love to know Rod Laver’s take on the subject.\r\n\r\nOne of the techniques the Father and original proponent of the term “mental toughness,” renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr, used in his early groundbreaking programs (early 80s) for those initially uncomfortable and self-conscious with the practice was to say the word “yes” while striking the ball, a very viable substitute for actually exhaling. With committed use over time that “yes” will morph into <em>your</em> signature sound.\r\n\r\nNext time out start either making a relatively quiet noise, or saying “yes,” through impact right from the first ball in the warm-up, and continue it throughout the entire match, or practice session without fail. Make it your #1 goal for that day. Trust me, once you become more comfortable with the task you’ll see a marked improvement in your game. If not – give it an honest try - contact me via email if you reside in SW Florida and I’ll offer you a free half-hour lesson to get you over the breathing hump.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.63" src="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Jak-Beardsworth.png" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" sticky="off" align="left" always_center_on_mobile="on" border_style="solid" force_fullwidth="off" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Why Bother Breathing to Improve Your Game', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5613-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-08-07 17:26:39', '2017-08-07 21:26:39', '', 5613, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5613-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

I love the practice. My teachers were a huge inspiration. When Rosario, my husband, and I moved to our final house in 2016, I was faced with the prospect of what to do with the rest of my life. My children are all on their own, and now it was my turn to do something for me, something that fulfilled me and nourished my soul. One day I was half-heartedly searching online for a local YTT program, just to gather information. And there it was, on the Yoga Alliance website, The Yoga Sanctuary was offering YTT beginning in December. And it was only being offered every other year! Now is my chance, I thought, though I didn’t decide immediately. Committing to YTT would lead me out of my comfort zone. Was I ready? Could I actually see myself teaching? I toyed with the idea, talked with loved ones, meditated on it. At the end of it all I knew that if I didn’t take this chance I would regret it. Now is my time.\n\nTYS: Has being in the program changed your yoga practice in any way?\n\nWS: My practice has opened and deepened.  Prior to YTT, I had a difficult time with meditation. I feel that actually learning the practice of meditation helped to break through my barriers. Sitting in stillness comes easily and, if I do say so, quite naturally to me now. My asana practiced has mellowed in a wonderful way. “Power” vinyasa used to be my go-to practice; learning from the ground up to build upon basic poses has caused me to slow it down, dial back the intensity. And that feels really good!\n\nTYS: What has been the most rewarding part of the program so far?\n\nWS: Falling deeper and deeper into the study of yoga has validated that this is where I’m supposed to be, right here, right now. My classmates— being on this journey with those who are like minded has created a bond very much like family for me. They’ve helped me, held me, supported me and I’ll be forever grateful for their presence in my life.\n\nTYS: What has been the most challenging part of the program so far?\n\nWS: The program is intense. Practicing yoga at home or in a class is one thing, learning all that is involved in the practice of yoga is an entirely different entity. It’s been a humbling experience.\n\nTYS: Where do you see yourself taking now that the program is complete?\n\nWS: I love this question. One question on the YTT application was if teaching yoga is the primary aim of my taking the program or was it to simply deepen my practice and knowledge. At the time, it was unclear to me where YTT would lead, so my response was that I felt the answer to the question would present itself upon completion of the course.  And it did. I want to teach. I want to share the art of the practice that I love so dearly. I’m 100% confident that teaching yoga is what I want to do with the rest of my life.\n\nTYS: Do you have any suggestions for someone that is considering a yoga teacher training program?\n\nWS: If your practice is a passion and you love to learn, do this. Be open minded and committed. Prepare yourself for a journey that, if you let it, has the power to change your life.\n\nRead about Wendy’s full path below….\n<h1>Yogi of the Month—Wendy Salafia</h1>\nI became a mom at 17, and the next 25-plus years were happily devoted to raising four human beings that, thankfully, turned out rather well. And after almost 30 years, my husband is more than ever my best friend. I am now known as “Nonni” to two grandchildren who I adore beyond all reason. Two years ago, my husband and I moved to Florida. Now it’s our turn to devote our lives to us.\n\nI took my first yoga class over ten years ago just to try it out. I didn’t fall in love. About three years later, I tried it again. That time it felt right, so I continued. Now I practice every day—not only asana but also meditation and observance of the yamas and niyamas.\n\nPhysically, sciatica used to be a challenge for me, and so was my inability to “be still.” I no longer struggle with sciatica, and I have learned to be comfortable and content in stillness all due to my yoga practice. Yoga tunes up and tones my physical body as well as my mental and emotional body. My body feels stronger and more supple from asana. And mentally/emotionally, yoga has taught me to be more present, compassionate, and forgiving of myself and others. It’s taught me the importance of letting go and accepting things that are not in my power to control.\n\nTrikonasana, or Triangle Pose, is my favorite yoga posture. The very first time I was brought into this pose and my teacher aligned my body in proper form, it just felt <em>so</em> good. As it strengthens and opens my body, it also calms my mind.\n\nI feel as though yoga never really leaves me. When I’m not doing asana, I’m living the yamas and niyamas to the best of my ability. Yoga is not an activity that has its place in my life. Yoga <em>is</em> my life.\n\nOutside of The Yoga Sanctuary, I volunteer at the local branch of the library, which is something that I <em>love</em> doing. I love books, and I love to read. Being loose in a library is akin to being a kid let loose in a candy store. All of those books and stories—knowledge—right at my fingertips!\n\nFavorite quote: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow!

As time went on I realized I wanted to learn as much as I could from the teachers in a studio I called home. 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. Anyone that is considering the teacher training at TYS, I could not recommend a better studio and teachers.”\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', '', '', '2018-07-01 16:05:18', '2018-07-01 20:05:18', '', 36, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/36-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

This sutra explains the ultimate result of yoga—the discovery of one’s true nature.\r\n\r\nOnce we are able to calm the fluctuations of the mind, our perception of reality becomes clear. No longer clouded with thoughts of the past or the future, reality sharpens and we finally understand our true nature. We recognize our connection to all that is. We recognize that our current state is just as it should be.\r\n\r\nWhat a relief to know that this practice—this work we do on and off the mat to find that place where our minds become quiet and we become more aware—will bring us back to a place where we can finally, and again, realize our being-ness. This shift from <em>doing</em> to <em>being</em> happens gradually (and can also happen at a moment’s notice)—and it has nothing to do with idleness. It is a perceptual shift that changes our very interaction with life and with the people and situations we encounter.\r\n\r\nThese early sutras help us to understand right away the profound nature of the yoga practice and how it can transform our lives for the better. What better way to begin the book than to inspire us to begin—right now—to practice. This realization is not to be viewed as a far-away, barely obtainable goal. It is within you at this very moment. You have only to uncover it.\r\n\r\nYou are enough, just as you are.

That is, when we are wrapped up in our thoughts, unable to stay present, we become our thoughts.\r\n\r\nThis is most easily understood by considering an energetic action. Consider that when you become wrapped up in negative thoughts, those thoughts consume you. Your emotions take on a negative tone. Your words and actions often follow suit. You become the physical manifestation of those thoughts. Likewise, when you become wrapped up in happiness, your emotions, words, and actions follow. While you might think that becoming wrapped up in happiness is a goal, happiness, too, is finite. It comes and goes.\r\n\r\nInstead, by not attaching to your mind chatter, you can effectively take a step back and observe them for what they really are—fluctuations. This practice can help you to notice your thoughts, and to notice when you are attaching to your thoughts and getting wrapped up in emotions, words, and actions. By becoming the Seer, or observing these patterns in yourself, you will become less affected by the day-to-day happenings in your life. You will be able to see them with more clarity.\r\n\r\nYoga sutra 1.4 tells us that when we are not in a state of yoga, the mind is attracted by the external world, the root of all suffering.

Non-harming is essential to the yogi, because it creates the kind of karma that leads to eternal joy and happiness. According to the law of karma, if you cause harm to others, you will suffer the painful consequences of your actions. The yogi, realizing this, tries to cause the least amount of harm and suffering.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/yoga-vegetarianism.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1308" title="yoga &amp; vegetarianism" src="http://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/ys/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/yoga-vegetarianism.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="249" /></a> Compassion is an essential ingredient of ahimsa(non-harming). Through compassion, you begin to see yourself in other beings. This helps you refrain from causing harm to them. In truth, we are share consciousness, and harm inflicted on one being (be it animal or human) is felt by all, sooner or later. Some meat eaters like to advance the argument that vegetables have feelings too, so what is the difference between eating chickens or carrots? The answer is simple: Pantanjali gives ahimsa as a practice, meaning you do your best to cause the least amount of harm. The yogi strives to cause the least amount of harm possible, and it is clear that eating a vegetarian diet causes the least amount of harm to the planet and all creatures.\r\n\r\nYogis use the world they live in and the way in which they interact with the world as a vehicle for transformation. A vegan diet is an informed, intelligent, and conscious way to act peacefully and selflessly each time we make a choice, because it takes into consideration the well-being of others as well as of ourselves."\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class="innerline"></div>\r\nThe summer is a great time to explore delicious fruits and vegetables.

It integrates a spiritual aspect to yoga. That spirituality can take the form of religion or a connection to God, nature, love, or a higher power. At its essence, Bhakti Yoga helps us to realize our connection to all that is by recognizing the part of us that is eternal. It is the ultimate surrender to the divine.\r\n\r\nBhakti is “pure, unselfish, divine love,” according to Sri Swami Sivananda. “There is not a bit of bargaining or expectation of anything here. This higher feeling is indescribable in words. It has to be sincerely experienced by the devotee.” Your yoga practice may not involve Bhakti Yoga at first, but as you get more interested in the philosophy and practice of yoga, you will likely begin to find a deeper meaning in the practice. This is the natural evolution of Bhakti Yoga. You might already be practicing Bhakti yoga, you simply didn’t have the term for it.\r\n\r\nBhakti yoga often begins with ritual, offerings, mantras, or ceremonies. The practice of all forms of yoga can involve bhakti if a sense of divine devotion is present. You might choose to offer up your yoga practice (or anything in your life, for that matter) to a higher power. You could recite a mantra that has special meaning for you. Place a picture of spiritual being in a special place where you practice or meditate, or wear mala beads to remind you of your true nature.\r\n\r\nBhakti Yoga is said to be a sweet practice that softens the heart. Perhaps you might begin to notice a deeper connection in your yoga practice—to yourself, to others, and to a higher power, whatever your interpretation.

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.\r\n\r\nHere are a few options that we offer:\r\n\r\n<strong>Corporate Yoga</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>The Yoga Sanctuary at Work Program</strong> provides on-site yoga and corporate rates to local businesses.

We provide all materials needed. You just provide a quiet open space, such as a meeting or conference room.

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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\nJoin both Lisa Ahrens and Gwen Burdick for quarterly Sacred Ceremonial Gatherings at The Yoga Sanctuary!

It dominates the <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/pitta-dosha/"><em>Pitta</em> </a>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.\r\n\r\nThe Vedic fire ceremony is an instrument that harnesses this <a href="http://theyogasanctuary.biz/the-three-gunas-…rajas-and-sattva/">sattvic</a> 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. The fire ceremony is among the most powerful of spiritual practices because it beckons the burning up of the ignorance, delusion and obstacles that keep us from the success of knowing our own divinity.', 'The Vedic Fire Ceremony', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5780-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-12-20 16:46:50', '2017-12-20 21:46:50', '', 5780, 'http://theyogasanctuary.biz/5780-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

The breath acts like a gauge of your practice. When the breath is labored —quick and shallow— this is a sign that you are pushing too hard, or not letting go enough, in your postures. When the breath flows long and steady, without interruption, your practice is where it should be. Let your breath guide you in this way.\r\n\r\nBy bringing your attention to the breath you are able to connect to the true essence of your practice. In fact, yoga practice begins with the breath. Let your breath be the first place you go in any asana. When you begin with the breath, and build from there, your practice will take on a new quality — an all-encompassing completeness that fills your entire practice, just as a full breath fills your entire lungs.\r\n\r\nThink about it. Do you ever find yourself holding your breath during a challenging yoga posture? What might happen if instead you breathed through it? By checking in with the breath again and again, you will begin to notice how you use the breath, and you’ll learn how to cultivate the quality of ease as you breathe. In this way, your yoga practice itself will take on a quality of ease, and from there will you build the foundation of steadiness.\r\n\r\nIn today’s world, we are very much outward-focused. Paying attention to our breath is an afterthought, if it’s even a thought at all. Yet taking a moment to check back in with the present by checking the breath-gauge will not only take your yoga practice to the next level, it can bring a sense of ease in your life off of the mat.\r\n\r\nWhether in yoga class or during a busy day off your mat, let your breath be the gauge that helps bring you more ease and steadiness. In your yoga practice, try to begin each posture by checking your breath. Off the mat, write the word “breathe” somewhere noticeable, and each time you look at it stop and take a moment to notice your breath. Then see where this practice takes you.', 'Your Breath is Your Gauge', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2352-autosave-v1', '', '', '2019-10-18 14:54:31', '2019-10-18 18:54:31', '', 2352, 'https://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/2352-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><b>Wear Comfortable Clot</b><b>hes that Are Not Too Loose</b></p>\n<p>You 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.</p>\n<p><b>Barefoot Please</b></p>\n<p>Yoga 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.</p>\n<p><b>Com</b><b>e with an Empty Stomach</b></p>\n<p>It 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.</p>\n<p><b>Let Go of Judgment</b></p>\n<p>The 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.</p>\n<p><b>Yoga will alway<b>s be Practice</b></b></p>\n<p>This 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.</p>\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.

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[/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.

The breath acts like a gauge of your practice. When the breath is labored —quick and shallow— this is a sign that you are pushing too hard, or not letting go enough, in your postures. When the breath flows long and steady, without interruption, your practice is where it should be. Let your breath guide you in this way.\r\n\r\nBy bringing your attention to the breath you are able to connect to the true essence of your practice. In fact, yoga practice begins with the breath. Let your breath be the first place you go in any asana. When you begin with the breath, and build from there, your practice will take on a new quality — an all-encompassing completeness that fills your entire practice, just as a full breath fills your entire lungs.\r\n\r\nThink about it. Do you ever find yourself holding your breath during a challenging yoga posture? What might happen if instead you breathed through it? By checking in with the breath again and again, you will begin to notice how you use the breath, and you’ll learn how to cultivate the quality of ease as you breathe. In this way, your yoga practice itself will take on a quality of ease, and from there will you build the foundation of steadiness.\r\n\r\nIn today’s world, we are very much outward-focused. Paying attention to our breath is an afterthought, if it’s even a thought at all. Yet taking a moment to check back in with the present by checking the breath-gauge will not only take your yoga practice to the next level, it can bring a sense of ease in your life off of the mat.\r\n\r\nWhether in yoga class or during a busy day off your mat, let your breath be the gauge that helps bring you more ease and steadiness. In your yoga practice, try to begin each posture by checking your breath. Off the mat, write the word “breathe” somewhere noticeable, and each time you look at it stop and take a moment to notice your breath. Then see where this practice takes you.', 'Your Breath is Your Gauge', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2352-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-10-18 14:54:47', '2019-10-18 18:54:47', '', 2352, 'https://www.theyogasanctuary.biz/2352-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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.

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 modified approach to our traditional yoga class allows all students to enjoy improved strength, balance, and flexibility.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunrise Yoga</strong> is an early morning practice that helps you get a jump start on your day! This morning flow class is designed to awaken the body and mind. It will leave you feeling calm, energized, and ready to enter your day.\r\n\r\n<strong>Taichi </strong>is an ancient art that uses gentle flowing movements to promote relaxation, balance, and coordination. 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.

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.\r\n\r\nHere are a few options that we offer:\r\n\r\n<strong>Corporate Yoga</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>The Yoga Sanctuary at Work Program</strong> provides on-site yoga and corporate rates to local businesses.

We provide all materials needed. You just provide a quiet open space, such as a meeting or conference room.

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.
