Why Vida Yoga? ππΌπππΌ
You may be wondering why π Vida Yoga π is the name of my little yoga business.
The name came to me as a culmination of a few things. One being that in Spanish βVidaβ means βlifeβ and as I have spent a lot of time in Spain and am influenced by the culture (including flamenco) it made sense to let these two passions come together in the name.
Yoga for Life (Vida) is what you will experience in our sessions together. They are slow, mindful and allow you to choose what is most supportive for you in your current season of life. You donβt have to stop doing yoga when your body changes, rather we adapt the poses and movements to honour our unique bodies.
That is one of the reason for the name Vida Yoga.
The other is that one of the meanings of the word βVidaβ in Sanskrit (the ancient language of yoga) means knowledge, discovery or understanding.
When our practice deepens the teachings of yoga become quite enlightening both on and off our mats. Knowledge and discovery of self and understanding of others help guide us to live more harmonious lives and remind us that it is a life long practice to understand ourselves and others.
I hope you find this interesting and look forward to sharing yoga for life, discovery and understanding with you this year.
