What makes Yoga Essential?
In a busy, fragmented world, we can find ourselves reduced to roles- worker, boss, parent, child, citizen, friend. We can view our bodies as separate entities with distinct parts- a torn muscle, an aching back, a throbbing headache. What is vital to our health and well being is to move beyond the fragmentation and separation to see the essential connection of mind, body and spirit as well as our connection to every living being. Yoga is a vehicle to discover our essential oneness.
On a very practical level we can see that hip pain can be related to our feet, headaches can be related to how we breathe and back pain is connected to our posture. Beyond the physical we can learn how our reactions to emotions or stressors can affect muscle tension, our heart rate and our blood pressure. By cultivating a sense of detachment from our thoughts we can see their influence on our emotions. By feeding our connection to spirit we can realize an inner peace that allows us to live with vitality, joy and compassion. Here in lies the essence of yoga!
The mission of Essential Yoga is to create a customized yoga practice that is essential to your life. I am located in Fort Myers, Florida and teach classes, workshops and private sessions in Lee County. With a unique system of CD tracks that I have recorded myself, you will be able to continue your practice at home. Open the door to new possibilities. Discover the natural health and balance within!
Namaste,
Debbie Padnuk, R.N., RYT 500
