Learning to Slow Down -
yoga in practice

Thu, Dec 11 6:30 A.M. NH Create (11.4)  

The rapid pace of modern life compromises our well-being and ages us prematurely. Yoga teaches us that the present moment is the ONLY moment. This class focuses on the slow and steady practice of hip opening and forward folds. By learning to move more mindfully into each pose, to hold the pose while focusing on the breath, and to release the pose with the same attention that created it, we slow down and cultivate a moving meditation. This leads to a nourishing experience of slow self-reflection.

About Yoga In Practice:

Yoga is the art and science of aligning the mind, body and spirit to live a richer and more authentic life.

It promotes increased awareness, strength and flexibility while reducing stress and anxiety.

Yoga may also decrease pain related to common problems such as lower back, hip or shoulder injuries.

YOGA IN PRACTICE is a new 13-part series led by master instructor Stacey Millner-Collins of Columbia, South Carolina, who first began the practice in 1994 as a way to unite a dedicated physical discipline with a spiritual one.

The series is designed to teach the foundations of yoga to the at-home student, and to encourage a daily yoga practice that is more than simply physical exercise.

Each episode focuses on a universal theme, such as "courage" or "the art of slowing down," and includes basic meditation and breathing techniques, further reducing the stress and anxiety associated with modern life.
