Namaste

As we enter a season of awakening it is a lovely time to embrace the variety of self-care the yoga tradition provides. 

Embrace peace and appreciation.

Take time to integrate your outer and inner experience.

When we practice yoga through stretching and breath we release “ama” stagnant energy we do not need. Consistent practice of yoga enhances your ability to deepen your awareness of the subtle flow of the body. 

Pranayama (yogic breathing) Breathing deeply, lowers your heart rate, relieves anxiety, relaxes your muscles and calms your mind.

Take time for Pratyahara (Sense Withdrawal) thus experiencing the inner domain of pure awareness.

Take time to focus on slowing down the busy mind to experience awareness.

Meditate ~  When our minds our “cluttered” the body can respond by tensing muscles.

I am super happy with the new location for East Bank Yoga operating out of Hills Stainless Steel, 4100 N. Northview Ave, Sioux Falls, SD.   It’s just a jaunt away from Russell and Kiwanis. There is a large window facing a field. It is warm, clean, and inviting.   There are 3 beautiful, live trees in the yoga room.   There is plenty of space with a yoga friendly floor.   East Bank Yoga operates out of Hills on select Tuesdays so register for class at eastbankyoga@gmail.com or 605.759.7459.   Class will take place on Tuesdays, 11/8 and 11/22, 6:00-7:00 pm. Yoga is a practice of peace.    Breathing mindfully is a path to grounding. Inhale slowly “I am whole.” Exhale slowly peace. Namaste, Jill Moncur

  Satya means connecting with truth. Practicing yoga is one way to connect with our inner light.   Breathing deeply, fuels the flames of well-being.   Each day is a fresh opportunity to connect with the beauty of nature.   I had 2 baby hummingbirds visit my flowers yesterday.   Embrace a path that nurtures your soul.   East Bank Yoga calendar is updated on a monthly basis. Namaste, Jill Moncur
