You probably already know that yoga is about more than exercise.

Primarily, yoga is a system designed to reveal to us an inner state of deep and lasting happiness.

“For many years yoga postures have kept my physical body healthy, breathing excercises have soothed me emotionally, meditation has opened my mind to insight, wisdom and clarity. Each of these practices are pieces of a complete yoga system described by a man named Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras called the eight limbed Path. (A path intended to lead to pure joy.)

Most people are less familiar with the first two steps of the Eight Limed Path: Yama and Niyama. These steps are about the daily choices we make… about our attitude and behaviors in relationship with our self and society that either open us to or close us off from an inner state of lasting happiness or pure joy.” -Cori Martinez

 

The Living Yoga Program is an opportunity to:

  • ŸIncrease your awareness and understanding of the attitudes and behaviors that result in your happiness as well as your suffering. This understanding will help you to more easily make the choices that lead you to happiness.
  • ŸBe supported by community in developing a consistent practice.
  • ŸIncrease physical health through yoga postures and diet
  • ŸSupport emotional balance and even physical healing through consistent breathing exercises.
  • Learn more about meditation and begin a regular meditation practice.

The results will be profound… as they have been for the many others who have completed the program.

This program is worth your time. You are guaranteed to feel healthier, happier and have a greater understanding of what makes the deep lasting happiness that yoga offers available to YOU.

 

It’s True.

Yoga has taught millions of people to live more peacefully, with more vibrance, health, happiness, patience and understanding.

 

Here’s what students from our past “Living Yoga” programs have said:

TESTIMONIALS

“Because of what I’ve learned and practiced during the past 5 weeks, I’ve been a lot less quick to get irritated with people in my life…and they have definitely noticed!”

- Jim -

“I have appreciated the opportunity to take time for myself so much, and somehow doing that each day has actually helped me to feel less selfish and more concerned for others. Ultimately this makes me feel better and treat others better. Plus, my thighs look much nicer!”

- Chryss -

“I feel like for so long I’ve just been trying to get through life, and this experience helped me to actually ENJOY life. I’m so grateful and happy!”

- Sea -

“Besides building a lot of strength, I learned so much about what yoga really is. Now that I can see the bigger picture, everything makes so much more sense and I can more easily use it to affect my whole life. It’s been a truly amazing experience!”

Your Commitment

  • Yoga 3-6 days per week: attend class at Asha Yoga for at least 12 out of 28 days.
  • Practice pranayama (breathing techniques) 1 time a day for 5 minutes. Guidance on the technique of pranayama will be offered during yoga classes and at the weekly meetings.
  • Practice meditation 1 time a day for 10 minutes each time. Guidance and lessons in meditation will be given during weekly meetings and in regular classes.
  • Attend weekly meetings at Asha Yoga (Tuesday evenings)
  • Keep a daily log/journal of specific mindfulness practices related to “The Work” – a self inquiry practice inspired by author Byron Katie and her book “Loving What Is”
  • Set the intention to be aware of and possibly shift behaviors and thought patterns in order to create a more mindful practice.
  • Incorporate the provided nutrition suggestions into your daily diet to experience the synergy between a healthy body and spirit.

Yes, it’s a big commitment.

Many things of value in life require that you give fully of yourself and make sacrifices. This doesn’t mean your ultimate goal will be to attend class at the yoga studio every day for the rest of your life (Though maybe it is!). YOU will choose your own ultimate goal, but the asana commitment for the challenge IS 3-6 days days of yoga at Asha for the 4 weeks. After completing the challenge, the quantity of time dedicated to the physical practice each day may vary.

Why 4 Weeks?

Because many studies (and my own experiences) have shown that it takes this long to make or break a habit. During these 4 weeks, our goal is to make several new habits that will lead us to discover our strongest, healthiest, happiest selves.

The Reward:

I’m sure you get the idea by now… a life filled with insight, curiosity, happiness and peace.☺
