EASY YIN (bliss out) YOGA

  My Yin Yoga classes are  yoga therapy .

My yin yoga is very gentle,very slow and most

importantly very easy.

I always focus on the individual student as every 

body is different.

 

It’s my job to teach you variations of  yoga postures

  that never cause you any pain.

This is why it’s yoga therapy.

It’s designed to be

therapeutic to the individual.

Yoga should be blissful.

When the body is blissing out in a yoga posture it tells us we

have aligned our Nadis and Meridians.

( Nadis and Meridians are both light channels that run through

the entire human body  according to the ancient Yogi sages.)

When this happens we know we ARE reflections of source.

Its no longer an idea or a hopeful philosophical idea.

It’s a real feeling and its life changing IF we do it often enough.

   Truth is WE ARE made  of  LIGHT and when

we access it we feel revitalized in ways we may have never experienced.

However our  Merdiains and Nadis

will only benefit  when  our  vibration ~(cymatic value)  is good.

  In simple terms this means if we are stressing out

about how we look in the yoga posture ( in an egoic mind)

instead of chilling out  (in trust and love mind )

  we wont feel the majic of yoga..

Most (not all) yin  stretches are  seated or laying  down.

See the Yin yoga page

MEDITATION

    Over the past 23 yrs I have fine tuned and taught  5 

very easy scientifically proven meditation techniques.

They are not new, I did not invent them,

I make no claim to them as many healers do .

But I have studied  and practiced them thoroughly.

Ive  taught them  for over 2 decades thus have proof they work.

 My 5  favorite MEDITATION  TECHNIQUES

THE 5  meditation techniques below are

what I have  worked with for over 20 years.

These techniques enable to me to

meditate deeply when ever I choose to.

1/ INTENTIONAL BREATHING

Breath-work-PRANAYAMA  Allows the mind

  to focus on something other than thinking.

2/ LISTENING  

Its not until we reach the

mountains we realize that we have been

living in noise pollution.

Listening withdraws the senses  from the  outer

world allowing us to  focus only on the tiniest of  sounds.

listening to mantra prayer or nature sounds is

excellent practice and will  lead to a quiet mind.

3/ FEELING

Feeling aka Pratyahara means

to withdraw our  senses from the outer world.

To Focus on the smallest of physical sensations

  with in the body .

Like the temperature of the air as

it enters and then leave the nostrils.

Like the feeling of the fabric 

as move across my back as i take deep breath.

Like the gentle rhythm of the heart beat.

This technique  is  about feeling the

tiniest of sensations and remaining

in that feeling for as long as one can

so as to slow and simplify the mind 

for a little while.

4/COUNTING

This technique is my invention.

Ive researched and  have found no one doing the same .

When we count with strong intent

we CANNOT think,

therefore it’s a valid form of meditation.

I  use counting  through my day to

break the habit of  ordinary thinking

aka vritti svarupya.

I have specific counts for specific states of mind I wish to alter.

It works well as my belief system allows it to.

In class we count to 108 with the intent to

slow or stop thinking.

 My students experience more success with this technique over all others.

The reason it’s so successful is that when we count we use

a different part of the brain

and put to rest the thinking part of the brain.

At first most people can count and think at the same time

but with strong intention  and practice

we can just count with out  thinking .

When we stop thinking we are  allowing the

body to experience a profound  shift in all of the body systems ,

leading to almost immediate de~stress.

Mala beads have 108 beads. 

Counting to 108 or repeating

any  mantra  108 times is potent work .

5/CREATIVE  VISUALIZATION

Visualization aka  day dreaming is  

a useful way to change our hectic mind.

 

I’ve done many visualizations

  Here  is one of my favorites and most often enjoyed.

I’m sitting in front of a camp

fire on a comfy rug or comfy chair ,

beyond the little round camp fire is a

beautiful lake or ocean.

The water is  so still you

can clearly see the reflection of the full moon .

The moon, the fire, and round camp

fire are all very symbolic and affect

change without  us really knowing about it.

EASY PILATES

I  teach simple easy pilates  moves and stretches ,

at the same time the student gives

me feed back about how that feels.

Pilates creates core strength,

  pelvic floor strength, better spinal

alignment and better muscle tone.

Regardless of how wonderful Pilates

is like all things if done incorrectly

can easily injure us. So when practicing

it we must put our ego away and go slow.

FAR INFRA RED SAUNA ~

feel like a sauna?

My sauna  is a roomy 2 seater with long glass panels

so you will never feel claustrophobic.

Most of my regular students use the sauna

for about 20 mins during the first part of

the class  in meditation with clothes on. 

They get out before they begin to perspire ,

therefore there is no need to remove clothes for the sauna.

Often a student wishes  to do a deep detox in

which case most clothes are taken off , lots

of water  is consumed and for privacy a large

room divider is placed in front of it.

The science states that far infrared saunas

create an alkali environment in the body,

this encourages rapid detox, easy weight loss and muscle healing.

In my personal experience it was a

game changer. Since 2011 I’ve used

it a few times a week during which

time  I discovered that  just 10

minutes reduces my pain and alters my mood.

These outcomes are not placebo ,

they are a result of  the rapid  alkalizing

affect of all  far infrared saunas.
