Mountains

These were the first pictures of the mountains I took, driving into the Alps. It filled me with awe. 

Mountains and Yoga are connected. Yoga originated in the highest mountains in the world, the Himalaya’s, in which the “Rishi”s” ( The sages ) practiced meditation in seclusion. 

Mountains offer a natural environment for contemplation.The silence is definitely palpable here in the Alps. Mountains stand for higher awareness and they symbolize the axis between earth and cosmos. 

Our Yoga class will embody the qualities of the mountains.  Steadiness, inner strength, expansion and calm. We will extend our spines in our Sun Salutations, work with strong feet in our lunges, and quiet our minds in "Nadi Shodhana” (alternate nostril breathing.)

Much love,
