Self Preservation

Yoga Alliance will not allow us to use the terms "therapy" or "healing", so I have come up with the terminology I teach "Self Preservation". Bc maybe yoga really isn't "therapy" or "healing". I feel it does more. It teaches us to Preserve Ourselves. OuR Truest form of Self. "Therapy" or "healing" can say we are broken and we need to heal. But really we are all just doing our best, with what we have and what we are given. With our daily struggles that can fall easily into just "living". Every day we practice living. Sometime Mother Nature is sad and she cries, and sometimes she feels bright and Sunny, but she is always true to us. 

I love the fact that we don't or "can't" title it therapy or healing, bc I would much rather view it as I am "Preserving" my "Authentic Self" using yoga poses and the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras. But I also love to incorporate many of the philosophies of Native American's view of Mother Nature. And as yoga says - If you want to be a tree in tree pose, then you must understand it. And this is where my teaching will take it one step further. I will teach you about the trees and their roots. About the leaves and the air you breathe. I will teach you the Moon and the Sun and the truth of Hatha Yoga. Ha Meaning Sun, Tha meaning of the moon. The energy of the Sun. I will teach you about you and what makes you just so "Authentic" and well "You".Don't cheat us from seeing all you have to offer. Because you are a remarkable "Present" to the World.~Namaste
