Embodiment Yoga

Did you know that yoga can help immensely improve SAD / seasonal affective disorder? Yoga , mindfulness and pranayama ( breathing techniques) all play a big roll in creating a happier winter . As we practice we begin to almost immediately boost our oxytocin and serotonin levels . It boosts our immune systems . The postures improve circulation, the breathing oxygenates the brain and the final posture savasana supports and stabilizes the nervous system (which tempers your stress response).

The final pose of any yoga class is one of deep restoration: Co**se Pose, also sometimes called Final Relaxation Pose. Its Sanskrit name, “Savasana” (shah-VAHS-uh-nuh), comes from two words. The first is “Sava” (meaning “corpse”), and the second is “asana” (meaning “pose”). Savasana implies a depth of release that goes beyond simple relaxation. This resting pose takes your yoga practice to a place where you can completely let go.

See you next week at 5:30 pm on Wednesday

Here is the thing. Yoga is not about bliss, but about honesty. Spirituality is not certainty, but the longing of the heart. Enlightenment is not ‘letting go’ of bad feelings, but understanding them, what they’re doing to us, and how they are expressed in the body. Non-harming and forgiveness are not about feeling generous or big enough (bigger than and condescending), but knowing the difficulty of right actions and assuming responsibility for the difficult. Forgiveness often comes directly out of acknowledging how bloody bitter we are. Love is not joy, all the time. Sometimes, love hurts. Love is raw.

The Yoga of Darkness Yoga is not just about Bliss, but about Honesty. Allowing our fears to arise creates an opportunity for Healing and Transformation.
