...a pose is allowed to unfold to you the benefits are ten fold. Each yoga pose will bring thoughts of joy and accomplishment to increase your PMA.

Compassion

Be the observer in every yoga pose. Watch and listen to the balance of every pose as your body attracts what it needs. Feel compassion with every pose so that your body will be attracted to the benefits rather than to the competition. Having compassion will bring an abundance of PMA without injury to your body or mind.

Yoga teacher

Your yoga teacher will offer a path of healing to your practice. She will demonstrate encouragement, compassion and insight to every pose. Practice with a teacher that invites your confidence and brings a constant feeling of PMA.

Weight Loss Through Yoga

...ga and weight loss does not mean that yoga isn't beneficial. Just the stress reduction and increased flexibility associated with yoga can contribute to wellness.

The applause began the moment his face appeared and continued seemingly forever until every cell of our bodies were filled with gratitude for this great man and his lifes work. And then class began. Each senior teacher took turns teaching a yoga pose to the crowd and, after giving their best instruction, the master would speak: Observe your mindwhat is its state? Now (in tadasana), bring the inner skin of the big toe mound down onto the floor. Observe, did your mind become quiet? Peaceful? Yes or no? Invariably, the answer would be yes. And so it went, pose after pose, pearls of awareness that expanded and tied together our consciousness into a seamless strand of action, peace and poise.

This was not my first experience being a student in his presence. I met Mr. iyengar in san Francisco in 1984 at the 1st international iyengar Yoga Conventi...more
