“Mindfulness provides a simple but powerful route for getting ourselves unstuck and back in touch with our own wisdom and vitality. It is a way to take charge of the direction and quality of our own lives, including our relationships within the family, our relationships to work, the larger world and the planet, and most fundamentally, our relationship with ourself as a person.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                 — Jon Kabat-Zinn

Yoga has the power to heal. It is not a religion, but instead a daily practice of self-care, a system designed to provide each of us with support or relief from the things that ail us the most.  Emotional growth and development in of itself can be difficult and painful, now layer in dealing with serious and stressful issues such as anorexia/bulimia, cancer, domestic violence, PTSD and/or addiction and the process can feel more than a little overwhelming.   The practice of Yoga is a good anecdote to all these issues, it's very therapeutic and teaches us that our bodies have the ability to heal themselves and provides a respite for our minds to become quiet, still and peaceful, which allows us to fully recover.   

 

The Yoga Community Project is a multi-layered approach to help you deal more effectively with anything that is depleting your body.  When dealing with serious circumstances, the adrenal glands become depleted, your central nervous system is overtaxed and as a whole, it is increasingly more difficult to cope with normal day to day activities.   Our approach integrates all things yoga: breathing, meditation and postures designed to simultaneously support your mind, body and spirit as an entire system so the healing process can become accelerated and your overall well-being improves.  

 

Our secondary objective is to create a broad based yoga community where all of the forms of yoga come together and are fully exposed and embraced by one another.  We are hoping to create fuller integration and more collaboration within yoga communities across the nation and ultimately across the world.
