YOGA: Graceful Movements and Communication

"Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements.  Once

you understand the grammar of yoga, you can write your poetry of movements."

Amit Ray

Yoga is one of the many ways movement becomes a communication with the body and the self.  For some, it becomes a moving ritual with the Divine.  The physical body, the mind, and the spirit benefit from the practice of yoga.

Yoga attracts both young and elderly alike.  It is practiced in large temples, small studios, and in the privacy of homes.  It can be adjusted for active body types and also modified for chair bound participants.

Yoga is meant to be graceful and individualistic. For some, it creates an art form.  Everyone strives for the same pose, but there are varying degrees of success which doesn't matter.  The importance is to release the outer world in order to create a graceful connection with our inner self and all there is.

***There are an abundance of yoga practices in most communities.  For privacy, yoga can easily be found on the internet or accessed through books.  TIMELESS GENTLE YOGA by Nancy Hodge Long is an excellent source.
