GENTLE REST YOGA

~ Yoga for Everyone ~

PHILOSOPHY

During my teacher training I fell in love with the Yoga Sutras of Pantañjali, and the writings of T.K.V. Desikachar.  I am a strong believer that yoga is about moving inward and exploring what is already there and what “is.”  Yoga is connecting the breath, mind and the body, and at times it is difficult to connect all three, but when you do, you reach a place of fulfillment, gratitude and compassion.   

My favorite yoga sutra and quote: Yogaś citta vrtti nirodhah   (Pantañjali’s Yoga Sutra 1.2) 

Yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind. (Translation-Edwin F. Bryant-The Yoga Sutras of Pantañjali, 2009)
