So many ask me what is it about yoga that I love so much.
Yoga is more than movement — it’s a way of being. Rooted in ancient wisdom (The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali are approximately 2,000 years old), the Eight Limbs of Yoga guide us toward living with awareness, compassion, and authenticity.
Through the Yamas (ethical principles) we learn how to live in harmony with the world — practicing non-violence, truthfulness, moderation, and non-attachment. These teachings remind us that peace and joy blossom when we live with integrity and kindness.
Through the Niyamas (personal observances) we turn inward — cultivating purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. These practices nurture gratitude for the simple, sacred moments of daily life.
As we journey through the other limbs — movement, breath, meditation, and stillness — we come to know that joy is not something to chase, but something we uncover within. Gratitude becomes a natural expression of living in alignment with the heart.
Yoga is both a practice and a philosophy — one that teaches us how to be fully alive, awake, and grateful for this breath, this moment, this life. 🌸
