Yoga

The study and practice of Yoga is historically a practice that leads to Self-Realization. The realization is to recognize our true nature beyond body and mind open to the cosmic forces of the eternal and infinite reality. It is this opening beyond thought, beyond mind, beyond our own ego that moves us from limitation to the limitless. This yogic journey guides us to what cannot be known with the mind but can be felt deeply in the spiritual heart.

OM Symbol The ancient scriptures of the Upanishads clearly echo this understanding. "He who see the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self henceforth has no disturbance. In the Knower for whom the Self has become all beings, where can there be any delusion or any sorrow for he who sees only Oneness."

The Sanskrit translation for Yoga can be traced to the root word "yuj", which means to link or yoke. "That which unites is called Yoga", according to the Vedanta, Yoga means supreme realization. "Yoga is the reunion of the living self to the Supreme Self".

I study Tantric Yoga bringing to life all the divine energies of prana, mantra, meditation and universal Shakti. To practice Yoga in this way is to open to our hidden potential as a divine being within this Oneness.

I lead a Meditation/Healing circle that explores many of these aspects of Yoga, through pranayama and mantra we discover silence.
