Still A PC User - With MUCH Respect and Gratitude

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
-- Steve Jobs

PRE-HAPPY HOUR FUNDAMENTALS (FUNDAMENTALS II)

   Thursday Evenings 6 pm (Six Week Series)  

Starting October 20th

Why Fundaments part deux?  There are many reasons for taking a fundamentals II class.  Perhaps you have already taken a fundamentals class but you do not feel ready to move onto more of a flowy class or class with more advanced positions.  Maybe it’s been a while since you have taken your fundamentals class and you would like a refresher.  It is also possible that you want to learn proper alignment and breathing after practicing off of DVD yoga at home.  Some may just want a slower class wherein they can refine their poses or take them to the next level or variation.  Regardless of the reason, Pre-Happy Hour Fundamentals promises to be a mind, body and spirit opener.  You will be guided through poses and breath work to maximize your experience with yoga.

INTENTION

So, who does yoga serve? At the right time, yoga serves anyone.  It is important to go into your practice with an intention.  What that intention may be is irrelevant to the rest of the world, however, your journey towards it will make all of the difference in the world.  If you are totally new to yoga, this may sound like a bunch of hullabaloo but I promise that one day it will make sense if you are committed to cultivating a yoga practice.  I like to think of it as “the one thing” that Jack Palance refers to throughout the movie City Slickers.  If you are not a movie buff, don’t attach too much to this explanation and when you come to my class, I will explain in greater detail if you ask me to do so.  In one respect, on a more personally grounded level, yoga is about feeling great and using that feeling to propel you through your day, week, month, year, etc. with the knowledge that you have the power to influence your health – mental and physical.  Just like an education, yoga is what you make of it.  There is no wrong in yoga – just different.  Allow yourself to listen to your body and what it is telling you.  In doing so, your intentions will just arrive at your mat and help guide you on your yogic excursion.  

There is something for everyone when it comes to following a yoga practice.  KISS – “keep it simple stupid.”  This was the mantra that I followed when I was in sales.  Strangely enough, it applies in yoga too.  Take it slowly, know your intent when coming to the mat, and focus on what’s inside of you – it is as simple as that .  Whether it be strength, flexibility, peace of mind, toning, memory enhancement, time for self-care, learning to be present or breathe correctly, or a myriad of endless intentions, make it your own and make it count.  Learn the postures correctly and be mindful of each pose and how your body is reacting to it.  Slow down, take your time and be compassionate with yourself.  It is in this way that yoga will serve you.  I look forward to guiding you in YOUR practice and helping you to make it personal on the mat and when you bring it to the rest of the world.

The bemoo yoga Plan of Action (POA):  Work it, feel it, taste it, live it.  Unity.  Awareness. Serenity.  And always remember that the best way to achieve unity, awareness and serenity is to be present, after all, life is a gift.
