Yoga is NOT stretching! Yoga is so much more than physical exercise. It is a complete holistic system for our lives. It is a practice that can help us to improve on every level and become conscious of the spiritual dimension deep within us. 

Read on to find out 5 things that yoga is NOT. 

I am sure that as we have stayed with the process and held the vision for ourselves that obstacles will have risen.

​ This is very natural. As we try to make changes in our lives, those part of our lives and ourselves that are not compatible with the changes we are seeking have to be dealt with. Luckily there are tools for working through these obstacles and managing our struggle with change in a positive way. 

In this week's class we examine the main tool of yoga for inner transformation. Of course energizing and refocusing our personal vision is an inner process. We use some outer guides, like our affirmations, but it is about what is changing within us that is not "seen" physically.

The process of Kundalini awakening is a cleansing one. The inner energy begins to move through the different layers of being and the different energy fields that make up our multidimensional nature. As it travels through it removes the debris that has been holding us down. It steadily clears away any impediment to us realizing our full potential. 

How does it do this? We need to develop an appreciation for the power and intelligence of this inner energy. It is an awesome force that is the key to our absolute freedom. In this class we expand our knowledge about the workings of Kundalini so that we can begin to have a relationship with that inner energy.

In this class we explore conscious activity and exercise. This is a part of weight management initiative. We have to learn about working the body and make a commitment to do so regularly. There is no getting around this fact. Good health and happiness go hand in hand with conscious activity. 

Last week we spoke about exploring the multidimensional nature of our being. As we cleanse the various layers within us we experience more - we become more conscious. Really it is a revealing of more consciousness because fundamentally we are consciousness beings. 

The experience of the different layers of being or the koshas is an experience of energy and energy fields. We can begin to understand that we are consciousness beings that are having an energy experience. Our lives are an exploration and rediscovery of all that we are - consciousness beings experiencing different energy fields. 

In this week's class we explore this perspective of our journey through different energy fields and how we are guided in becoming more conscious. It is an investigation into the nature of our being, the evolutionary energy of humankind - Kundalini, and understanding this journey through the energy fields.
