Yoga, an ancient practice from India, meaning "union," brings health and integration of your body, mind and spirit.  The yoga classes I offer are in the Iyengar tradition which has an exquisite emphasis on alignment and detailed actions providing a safe and effective experience.  The Iyengar method of yoga offers a tremendous opportunity for therapeutic applications as well as advanced study in the philosophy and postures.   All people are welcome, no matter your level of flexibililty, health, or age.   This yoga is truly accessable to everyone.    Certified teachers in the Iyengar method go through many years of rigorous training and certification, disseminating and integrating the teachings of the living master, B.K.S. Iyengar.  It is with honor and gratitude that I share these teachings with you and continue this lineage of yoga.

Being Balanced Tip of the Day

A Two Breath Break

• Sit with both feet on the floor.  
• Lengthen your spine up. 
• Drop your shoulders down and move them slightly back as you lift and open your chest.   
• Close your eyes (after reading through these instructions).  
• Bring your awareness to your breath. 
• Notice when the inhalation begins.  Observe the air moving through your nostrils.  Observe your ribcage expanding as you inhale. 
• Notice when the inhalation turns into the exhalation.  Observe your body as the air releases. 
• Notice when the exhalation turns into the inhalation and follow the cycle again. 

Tip:  If your mind wanders, simply bring your awareness back to your breath. 

I look forward to connecting again with you soon.  Kelly Moore
