Is your body talking to you now? Do you know what to do with that?

WHY "YOGA" WITH RIA

WHAT "YOGA" FOR ME IS....

Therapeutic, Mindful Body and Breath Practice

Recently, a few people asked me about what IT is that I practice and facilitate on the mat day after day. I am not surprised because there are a lot of opinions, assumptions, presumptions about "yoga" in our community,

such as ...

Yoga is a religion. (for some people, yes)

Yoga is evil. Yoga is for women. Yoga is for flexible people. Yoga has to be practiced in tights. Yoga is xxx - some words I can not put here because they are just offensive...

What "yoga" for ME is ...

Therapeutic, mindful body and breath practice that heals and resets my nervous systems and brain from the daily stress and post traumatic stress. It clears my mind and body, and improves my sleep and body pain over time. It also nurtures my intimacy with God, self and others by cultivating my ability to slow down and be more present in the here and now, with calmer mind and heart space.

If you have never practiced with me, I invite you to join me and others who are absoluetely amazing to be with! I teach all classes for free as a gift to the community from God.

Blessings, Ria, a human Being just like you

p.s. Romans 14 is very helpful in considering disputable matters amoung the believers in Christ

Bring your Bible, study book, and pen.
There is no cost or fee to join this study group. You just need to buy your own study book. https://a.co/d/eAiVK7P
Please arrive 5 min early, and wear a provided name tag (so we learn each other's name over time) . I do my best to start on time and end on time.
Please respect confidentiality for this group.. Please do not share with others re: who is coming and what is shared. You are welcome to share YOUR stories with others outside the group.
Sharing happens in the way we really hold ample space for each other (really listen to each other) and most of all for the Holy Spirit. Please refrain from sharing your thoughts, your opinions and advice, your preferences immediately after others share their "get," "awareness, " "experiences," "learning," from the Lord by the Power of the Holy Spirit. We hold sacred space for each other in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I will do my best to facilitate this.
