Move your spirit, Move your body

When I took my instructor training our instructor asked each of us which pose we wanted to master.  To my surprise most of the class said headstand.  I used to stand on my head regularly and for lengths of time when I was a child and I do not have a proper explanation for this.  Standing on my head is still easy for me.  The pose I wanted to master was dancer pose.  It is not a pose that comes easy to me and I know I need to retrain my muscles to move into this asana.  I keep practicing.  Today during my yoga practice, as yoga so beautifully informs, I lifted and extended my chest and felt my back foot lift higher.  I was smiling inside and out having such a heart opening experience.
Come experience yoga with all of us at East Bank Yoga
Namaste,

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
