Effortless Asana

When it’s an expression of gratitude,  asana becomes effortless.

By mobilizing prana – accompanied with mindful movement – effortless, joyful expression is set into muscle memory. Cellular health aligns with thought and intention (the biology of belief) and its the reason yoga pays attention to mental outlook; for while stress is perceived in the mind, it is felt in the body. By moving in asana as an expression of gratitude, stress is perceived in the body but is not felt in the mind. This is the opposite effect from the normal experience of mind in stress. Yoga teaches us to be at ease in the midst of stress. This changes one’s response to everything.

Get Your Yoga on at Superstition Harley Davidson

YOGA FOR BIKERS:   OUR bodies take a pounding on the road, and sometimes driving is stressful. But people do yoga because it feels good and it helps mind and body. Yoga isn’t just about flexibility, it’s about  improving mobility to turn sideways and check our blind spot; about balance in slow turns, and remaining calm in the midst of stress. Over time, yoga strengthens our skeletal, muscular, and digestive systems.

Below the Frost Line

When you engage with yoga, it will slowly render the surface-self transparent to its underlying divinity. It will build a foundation well below the frost line.

Yoga will not be televised, its moves are not dictated by chart, table, or graph; yoga will not whiten your teeth, but you will be astonished in moments of fluid inspiration, and the deep breaths you take will sustain apprehension of a true presence at once ecstatic and sublime.… read more...

Yoga Inspirationals www.gregoryormson.com

My teacher speaks in clusters of daring “The way in is the way out.” It’s her graceful word rising from years looking at the blank slate over the Pacific, her lungs breathing deeply of this rolling mist. Her wisdom “the way in is the way out,” comes to me from her bloodline far to the east, from a practice that bent and molded her matter-mind, from evidence etched into the soles of her feet.… read more...

Arc of the Covenant: The Promise of Yoga

If one strikes a covenant with yoga, they do not inherit guarantees and neither are there predictable outcomes; but a time-tested truth demonstrates if the yogi bears their weight of the oath, the yield will be rich. Yoga will always do its share in this bendable arc of change.… read more...
