A HEALTHY APPROACH

A Few Words from Babs about a Healthy Approach to Yoga

To many students it comes as a surprise, that yoga by its very nature can be very challenging.

Remember that a yoga class is not a competition between you and anyone else. It isn't even a contest between you and yourself. Forget about how you used to be! Give up any aspirations of how you hope to be one day! Just enjoy where and how you are - right here, right now! Doing yoga correctly means not trying to get anywhere, but being in the present moment as fully as possible.

Sometimes you may notice yourself getting frustrated, judgmental, critical or reactive. In those situations, remember that calmness and self acceptance are at the very root of balancing your body and mind.

Whenever you catch yourself pushing too hard, realize you may not be accepting where you're at, and LET IT GO! Whenever you catch yourself being self judgmental or critical - realize you are really lacking nothing and it's actually the judgments and criticism that's keeping you down. LET IT GO! Whenever you catch yourself being reactive - step back and LET IT GO!

Allow yourself to open and grow beyond your own limitations - IN TIME.

Get ready and transform your body and mind with the Power of Yoga. Om shanti! Babs
