It is of course very possible to utilise the understandings and techniques of yoga without necessarily practicing the subject itself to it's traditional end. The practices of yoga, and the understandings to which they point, were designed to address the common predicaments encountered within what it means to be a human being. I have found yoga to be one of the few truly holistic subjects, seeking to bring health and balance to the body and the mind, leading eventually to a peace felt at ones innermost core. In today’s busy culture, balance in many areas can be lost very easily, these practices may allow us to sit a little more at ease once again.
If you would be interested in getting together this way we will use only very simple and basic physical practices but bring attention also to diet, relaxation and the breath, all things that are used within yoga. These will be put into everyday context and using everyday language. This may be of use to anyone who feels lacking in energy, may suffer from stress at times or even those who suffer from depression. We will build some healthy practices into our daily routine based around yoga principles but without necessarily seeking to practice or understand the subject in its totality. |
