With a good mind we meet 9:00 am yoga at East Bank Yoga yesterday once more proved to be a recurrent revelation of the varied inspirations that occurs with a yoga practice. A lovely group met and I once more want to thank all for bringing their divine light to class. Meditation Group met later in the afternoon, wow ! My insights included that we are soul trekkers. Some of our discussion in between meditation sessions included that perhaps as we sink into meditation we might first seek what our mind needs at the moment. Sometimes there is that external “watch dog” initially. Speaking for myself when I allow myself to go internal I hear the whispers and wisdom of peace. Namaste, Jill Moncur
The mind is listening to the body and the body is listening to the mind Gentle yoga class last evening started with a guided meditation while in an asana, undoing the work of the day. The class proceeded at a mindful pace allowing the body to warm up, stretch, release stress and ended with an essential oil treatment. This class is a good option for stress relief and taking time to slow down your pace of life. There are various reasons to attend a yoga class resulting in multiple benefits. If you wish to improve your strength, this occurs in both Hatha and Beginners yoga classes. Muscle strength is an indicator of joint integrity.

Take your time, and be gentle. When you feel tissue stretching along the bones as ...
I just taught yoga out at the stable Rugged Cross to 4h youth and adults. Yoga outside amongst the breeze with peaceful sounds from horses and roosters. One of the younger participants after class exclaimed, “that was easy” I am happy to hear that as we practiced some core poses that not all would enthusiastically exclaim “that was easy” If you have a group and a location and would like a beginner friendly yoga class, reach out to me via eastbankyoga@gmail.com or 605.334.5292. $50.00 for a 40 minute class, mats provided. Take time to move in a mindful way. For healthy range of motion, layers of connective tissue must allow muscles to glide over each other. Injury, habitual posture in daily life, and aging, among other factors can bind these connective tissues together, creating so-called adhesions and restricting that movement between the sliding surfaces of the muscles. Adhesions block the flow of nutrients and energy through the body, causing pain and limiting mo...
“Setting the foundation includes setting an intention for our practice, becoming conscious of why we practice yoga, and opening ourselves to the experience of yoga without goals or pre-conceived notions. Setting the foundation includes cultivating an attitude of receptivity so that our practice is guided by our awareness of our body and mind, instead of being ruled by our ego.” -Gernot Huber Join us at East Bank Yoga every Tuesday evening for Hatha yoga, 5:30-6:30-pm and Beginners’ yoga 7:00-8:00pm The second Wednesday of each month restore your midweek with a gentle yoga class. with a journey into the deeper layers of ourselves, we tune into our inner workings, connecting to sensations within the muscles and joints.

Warm Greetings, I find Amy Matthews, co-author of the book Yoga Anatomy to be an intelligent and insightful instructor. I came across 2 statements she made recently that I relate to and simply love. Alignment is dynamic, it is not a fixed position. Support rises from relationship rather than holding. I relate to this in my personal practice and as an instructor mull over how to get someone to that place of coming into an asana and connecting with listening to the wisdom of the body, making those lovely subtle adjustments when called upon. A regular practitioner at East Bank Yoga recently asked me to develop a 20-minute practice for him. I recall myself when I first started yoga enjoying it however not recalling all the asanas I might want to practice at home. He just happens to be anatomy savvy so while I developed 2 classes based on an interview for his needs I in turn enjoyed the discussion brought forth as we moved through each yoga class I created for hi...
Satya means truth in Sanskrit. Sat Nam means I am the Truth in Kundalini yoga. As we experience our yoga practice we connect with our truth, where we are at. May you connect wi th a higher level of consciousness at East Bank Yoga. Join me for yoga classes and Meditation Group at East Bank Yoga. Please see website calendar for class information “Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness and equanimity right here and right now” -Jon Kabat Zinn
