Soma Yoga is evolving, deepening and unfolding in some exciting new directions. We are going much deeper with both our breath work and our capacity to be fully present, allowing our body and mind to rest, release, and open, in a gentle and natural way.
We have also been focusing on building more core strength, grounding down into the earth, and experiencing how that core strength supports us in showing up for our life, and meeting each challenge as it arises.
The original purpose of yoga was to connect you with your authentic being, which is not a separate, static thing, but a living, flowing field of presence.
When we look at the body from the outside, it certainly appears as a solid object. But when we drop inside and open to our inner experience, all that we find is a stream of experience, sensation, and feeling. And when we let go a little more, we realize there is a lot of spaciousness and tenderness in this experience, an openness that lies at the heart of who we really are.
Soma Yoga gives us the opportunity in each moment to drop from the world of our thinking into the simplicity of feeling, breathing and letting go. When our yoga practice opens the heart, and reveals our connection to all living beings, it becomes a powerful force for transformation. This possibility exists for each one of us who is ready to receive it. All we need to begin with is our willingness.
Please note the upcoming ‘Yoga of Effortless Being’ 5 day retreat, happening at Johnson’s Landing Retreat Centre in August. For more information on this retreat, go to the home page and look under events.
