Jen was first introduced to hot yoga through a friend over 15 years ago and while it was extremely intense, it became the go to exercise for her after repeated strains from other forms of exercise. Yoga is gentle on the body and so nourishing for the mind. She leads a pretty busy lifestyle and yoga gives her the time to slow things down. Jen believes that the stars align when they need to and when her cousin strongly nudged her to take the training amidst the uncertainties of covid, she was so grateful for it. The mix of covid and new learning of the practice of yoga really helped her feel connected during those times.

She now uses all that she has learned in her classes and also with her students in her role as guidance counselor and it is extremely beneficial. Jen always preaches the benefits of this beautiful practice and when people do give it a go, they are never disappointed.

Yoga allows you to tune out to tune into yourself. What is your body telling you?

What are the Yoga Sutras? The Yoga Sutra, widely regarded as the authoritative text on yoga, is a collection of aphorisms, outlining the eight limbs of yoga. These “threads” (as sutra translates from Sanskrit) of wisdom offer guidelines for living a meaningful and purposeful life.

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the eightfold path is called ashtanga, which literally means “eight limbs” (ashta=eight, anga=limb). These eight steps basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline; they direct attention toward one’s health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature. (yoga journal)

What does Namaste mean? In our yoga classes, our teachers usually conclude the practice by saying "Namaste". The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. Nama means bow, as means I, and te means you. Therefore, namaste literally means “bow me you” or “I bow to you.”

To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart chakra, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart.
This is an especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word “Namaste” is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture. In India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste, and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while bowing. (yoga journal, 2017)

Remember your mat is your friend and its is there to support you during times like this. Simply taking a few deep breaths, coming into a child's pose, wild-angle forward fold, downward facing dog or savasanah are simple asanas that can help release stress in our body. Namaste yogis
