TITLE WHY YOGA
"What is always speaking silently is the body."-- Norman Brown

WHAT IS YOUR BODY SAYING? 
"Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz --something they are using to get around in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding."
Chungliang Al Huang

Men are born soft and supple;
dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and pliant.
Dead, they are brittle and dry.
Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.
The hard and stiff will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail."

--TAO TE CHING

-- Chungliang Al Huang 
THE BODY'S WISDOM 
"As we explore the extraordinary interplay of energies between the many aspects of our personality -- our needs, unconscious reactions, repressed emotions, aspirations and fears -- with the functioning of our physical system and its capacity to maintain itself, we soon realise how very wise the body is. With its intricately detailed systems and operations it portrays infinite intelligence and compassion, constantly giving us the means to understand ourselves further, to confront issues we are not looking at, and to go beyond that which is holding us back."
 Deb Shapiro, Your Body Speaks Your Mind

Your Spine is the conduit that the Nervous system traverses to supply energy to the whole of your body, mind and spirit. Yoga is a wholistic therapy for the whole of your being. People often say when inquiring about Yoga....."I am too inflexible to do yoga" HELLO ! They are the very people who will truly benefit from a yoga practice the most.

BODY AWARENESS
Scan your body with your awareness. Are you experiencing any aches and pains? Any stiffness?What might your body be trying to tell you about how you are living your life?"Your body is the ground and metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to you is stored and reflected in your body. In the marriage of flesh and spirit divorce is impossible."-- Gabrielle Roth
