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
