Yoga is NOT scary!

Yea, yea .. all your friends are going it. At work people are talking about it .. even your mom took a class! So why havent you been yet?

Yoga can be scary sometimes when we look at Yoga books and see people twisted up like a pretzel. Honestly! Can that be healthy!

Well .. yes, actually, it can be!

Many people are reluctant about Yoga because they simply dont know what Yoga is. Its that 'fear of the unknown' thingie.

First off .. you do not have to be flexible to attend a Yoga class. In fact, as a Yogini I will tell you that "flexibility is a state of mind", and second, you come to Yoga to learn how to be flexible .. and strong .. and graceful .. and healthy .. and so much more!

Yoga is not a religion or a cult, but a fitness program that just happens to consider physical exercise and mental peace of mind as two sides of the same coin.

Yoga .. real Yoga (not gym yoga or community center yoga) .. has a different focus from other exercise programs. For example, in Yoga, we dont 'do' a pose, be we 'become' a pose (this is that whole body / mind connection again). And though it sounds mysterious, its really just another way of saying: When you do Yoga, you are thinking about Yoga (not your kids or your job, how many calories you are burning or whats for dinner).

So .. come take a Yoga class! And if your still not convinced .. come take a FREE Yoga class on Thursdays!

Om Peace!
