"If you can breathe, you can do Yoga". -Beth Shaw.         

Never think you can't do Yoga because you're not flexible or athletic.           Yoga can be started at any age by anyone.         "Success" in yoga isn't defined by how cool you look each pose.                     A sincere approach to Yoga is all it takes. The pretty poses will come in time.  

The quote above comes from Beth Shaw, a true Yogini and female entrepreneur extraordinaire. She's the founder of of YogaFit, the world's largest Yoga school. 

So try Yoga if you haven't; keep doing it if you do. If you're in North Metro Denver, try my classes.

Yoga-How to set goals in your practice

goalsop

What are your goals with Yoga?

Setting goals in Yoga is different...and the same in many ways as with other things.

  • Do say "I'm going to learn to do this pose"
  • Don't say "I'm going to move this far in this many days/weeks/months"
Yoga teaches us new and different ways to set and meet goals.

Don't let your Yoga skills go to your head

Yogis were into doing selfies before Facebook and social media was influential. Yoga opens new worlds and you can't help but be more full of yourself because yoga teaches you self-acceptance in a manner that our culture does not.

Of course, we must always still remember that humbleness is as big a part of our human spiritual self as is our ego, and that's what makes a Yoga practice complete.

Blessings!

Ahimsa-How to define it for yourself

Yogi Vincent Gerbino

The Yogic principle of Ahimsa says do no harm to others or to the self. Loosely translated, it means, no killing, no torture and no abuse. It also is the premise for why many Yogis refrain from eating animal products, and prompts the asking of the question: must Yogis go vegan? The results of this controversial question remain mixed, and the only certainty on this issue is uncertainty.
Yogini Sarah Lowenstein
Yogi and yoga teacher Sarah Lowenstein of Denver, CO considers it her obligation. She is an outspoken advocate for animal rights and emphasizes compassion between all beings in her teachings
“I became a vegetarian (or Pescatarian) at the age of 5 after my grandfather made the connection for me between the cow and the burger I was eating.

Easy Restorative Yoga for Every Body..............

Restorative Yoga is good for everyone, and good on lazy days too!
Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose or "Viparita Karani"
This easy pose called Vaparita Karani does an incredible job to help restore your energy levels as well as help balance out your different energies to reduce stress.

Restorative yoga focuses on getting into relatively easy poses and staying there to chill. Focus less on looking perfect and keep your attention on what you can do to feel more relaxed in the position.

What can you release, or move just a tiny bit to make the pisotion more relaxing and nourishing?

Try it and you'll soon be able to find more than one right answer!

Why Yoga Is Liked By Superstar Runners......

Running barefoot opens a whole new world.


Barefoot fitness's oldest surviving discipline is Yoga.

You will quickly find that barefoot running and Yoga are inherently connected.


Coach Michael Sandler

The world's most-famous barefoot runner and barefoot running coach agrees-so does the president of the Runbare Company.


Runbare president Jessica Lee
That's why they asked me to write this.........









"Stretch before a big workout. It’s the oldest advice in the athletic world. So it shouldn’t be a secret that the science of Yoga, an ancient discipline that’s all about stretching would have a connection with running. But why?
"It’s true that running is the only traditional sport in today’s world that rivals Yoga in terms of age. Competitive running is as old as the Olympics, which date back to pre-700 BC.

Yoga as we know it today has been practiced for just as long. To find the connection, we have to ask a question: Just how did people run back in the days of ancient Greece, where competitive running was born?
The answer: They ran barefoot...."
