Yoga Meditation Group

Pretzel yoga postures are not necessary to experience the benefits of yoga – which are to rediscover who we are, realize that we are not this material body or mind, reconnect with our eternal source, and experience the unconditional love and acceptance that is our birthright. ✨

The physical aspects of yoga – the exercises (postures and asanas), breathing, relaxation, diet and lifestyle habits – are a very small part of the yoga system. These practices are extremely valuable for healing the body and maintaining good health throughout our lives. But they cannot fulfill us or alleviate anxiety and fear. Postures that look like pretzels can be challenging and fun, but they are not necessary and can injure the body if done without awareness of our needs and limitations.

We teach a yoga asana practice that can be done by anyone and everyone and is meant to be practiced our whole lives. It’s a responsible thing to do to care for the body!

We also teach yoga meditation, which is considered the heart of yoga. The word yoga means to connect or link up. We get the English word “yoke“ from the word yoga. Meditation is where that connection happens. This is where we experience what we are craving: unconditional love that was always ours, with nothing to earn; grace; permanence; deep and lasting peace; and purpose. No one can take these away from us! 💞

Our classes are always free of charge. You are welcome! 🙏🏼

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
~ Proverbs 4:23

If our heart is full of grievances, judgments, and resentments, we will treat others with disdain and disrespect. It’s our responsibility to heal those wounds and uncover the innate love and compassion that is our true nature. That’s the yoga process: uncovering what is already there.

Through the practice of yoga meditation and hearing yoga knowledge, we begin to understand who we are and how to heal. Our hearts become full of unconditional love, replacing the pain that was there. This is guarding the heart – protecting it from ignorance and falsehoods and filling it with truth and wisdom. Then our true being of love comes through, and we can then see others as the loving beings they are too. ✨❤️

Know that that which pervades the entire body is
indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul!
~Bhagavad gita 2:17

We are not the material body. We are not material at all. Matter is limited, temporary, and finite. We are the opposite: unlimited, eternal, and infinite. The body had a beginning, and it will have an end. But we have no beginning and no end. We are imperishable!

Through the practice of yoga meditation, we can uncover, rediscover, and realize our eternal identity and purpose. Then nothing in this world can touch us. ✨
