Healing Through Yoga

December 18, 2008 on 7:54 pm | In yogaHOPE Boston |

Class today was extremely powerful. The ladies attending wanted to be present and get something from the yoga class. They came into class full of anxiety and stress. We moved with ease and breath. Class began with breathing. Breathing In, Breathing Out. Moving into shoulder and neck openers. Cat/cow, hip openers, balances, core work, reclined twists and then a long meditative savasana. One of the ladies had to leave early on in class, but reentered during tree pose. She truly wanted to partake in the asana and one could see the determination on her face. As a matter of fact all the ladies we’re steady, stable, and all conquering in their balances. It was clearly visible they all went very deep and the poses we’re both external and internal. Some of the comments made by the ladies we’re, “I love yoga”, “This is completely different than what I thought it would be”, ” I really needed this today, you don’t know how much…”

When class ended there was a wonderful sense of peace & serenity in the yoga room. The ladies had a sense of calm confidence which was a beautiful sight to see. It is truly a gift to see the magic of yoga. To witness the powerful effects of tapping into one’s true nature and to begin the process of healing. Namaste.
