Yoga to the Rescue
When your mind is worried, your body is tired and your soul needs replenishing – there is no greater remedy than the practice of Yoga.
Yoga is the union created by balancing the mind, spirit and physical body. You will not find peace of mind until you acknowledge the connection and discover the harmony between all three.
Through a dedicated practice of Yoga, we are able to transform the energies of our being into something greater than our ego, personality and limited sense of self.
Since Covid 19 many of us have extra time on our hands. Can you come up with something more worthwhile than putting additional focus and attention into your Yoga practice? If you don’t already have a practice….now is a great time to start. Even for the simple reason that Yoga helps to reduce stress. Reducing stress is one of the best ways to boost your immune system and stay healthy.
A well rounded Yoga practice is needed in order to begin walking in the direction of greater awareness and health. Most everyone is familiar with asana (postures or poses) and generally this is what is thought of as Yoga in the West. It is just as important to take time for meditation as well as developing mindfulness in your daily habits and interactions. This is Yoga.
The first step is making a commitment to your practice. Acknowledging that it is just as important as brushing your teeth every day. Set aside a specific time daily to focus on your Yoga. Start with something you can live with. Don’t set a lofty goal that you will renege on in a week. If you can commit to 15 minutes a day…..that’s a good start! Taking online regularly scheduled classes makes it easier to develop a steady practice.
At Serenity Spa, we are committed to helping you stay on track with your practice as well as offering guidance and support for developing a new practice in this time of solitude, confusion and change. We welcome everyone.

May we all use this time wisely. We can be like the lotus flower that has it’s roots in the dirtiest of waters but blossoms with beauty into the light.
