Breathe!

Acts 17:25b

"...He himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things..."

What IS Yoga:

An ancient set of postures and principles used to focus attention on union of body, breath and spirit in order to increase our awareness of the present moment. As we learn to pay attention to this unity of body and spirit, we can become aware of God’s actual presence in our souls in a new and vital way. It becomes a way to “practice the presence of God”, opening our hearts, minds, and spirits to God’s love and compassion for all living beings.

What Yoga is NOT:

It is NOT a religion, though it developed in the East has been adopted heavily by Eastern religions

It is NOT just another form of exercise…though it is often used as such

It is NOT a “work-out”…it is a “work-in”

What Yoga does:

Physically: increases your core and large muscle group strength, flexibility, balance and co-ordination

Mentally: calms and quiets your mind, helps you focus attention, places you in the present moment.

Spiritually: opens your heart to spending this very moment with the Lord.

Have a blessed week ..... and don't forget to

BREATHE!
