What is yoga?
“In a nutshell, yoga is sattvika-samadhi. That is, yoga is to be stable in a clear, pleasant, and calm life experience. Such a state of mind and body is called sattva in Sanskrit. In the body, this state is experienced as vitality and wellness, without restlessness or dullness. In the mind, this is experienced as calmness, with clarity and energy. Generally, this is what all of us want in our lives.”
—p. ii in Hatha Yoga Pradipika, AG Mohan & Dr. Ganesh Mohan with notes from Krishnamacharya
In the recent Holistic Healing Center newsletter that came out 2/21/2022, I wrote about how very excited I am that Leslie Carson has recently joined our team. I have had the opportunity to witness Leslie's group Yoga at Peace Valley Park outside this summer and have worked with her individually.
Leslie will be supporting people in creating a personalized yoga practice on Zoom. She makes Yoga more approachable and meaningful for me and she emphasizes breathwork which really helps with emotional balance and centering. She will tailor the practice to the individual which is wonderful and her goal is that it is good for the mind, body and soul. I am happy to have Leslie introduce herself to all of you!
