As the body is made up of 70-90% water, I find it not only liberating, but healing to incorporate a lot of flow movement in our Yoga practice. Moving our bodies in concert with our breath, our heartbeat, the internal rhythm of our spirit brings us to a closer awareness of who we are and where we are headed...

ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTS
"Have Mat, Will Travel" |
There are a variety of reasons that a personal consultation may be fitting for you and your Yoga practice. If you have specific health problems (sciatica for example) and don't feel ready to join in a class atmosphere, we can meet and follow a practice suited to your particular situation.
We will provide you with materials that you can keep to practice the exercises on your own until our next meeting.
Call Maureen at 920-1125 or email: sagebutterfly2@comcast.net to set up an appointment to discuss your own personal needs. (Initial intro consultation - approx. 15-30 minutes - is free. Regular Yoga Consultations: $35/hour.)

YOGA FOR YOUR BODY TYPE - AYURVEDA
|
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which literally means "Science of Life." This holistic approach to health and longevity originated over 5000 years ago and its doctrines are becoming ever more sought out by those of us in the Western hemisphere.
The guiding principle of Ayurveda is that the mind exerts the deepest influence on the body and freedom from sickness depends upon contacting our own awareness - through practices such as Yoga and meditation - to bring it into balance. This will create a higher state of health.
Yoga and Ayurveda are considered to be sister sciences. Having origins in India and sharing the common goal of achieving union with the Self, they are mutually supportive in healing methods, and the cleansing and rejuvenation of the body.
We look to incorporate concepts and asanas (postures) that correlate with the science of Ayurveda linking the universal elements of earth, fire, air, water and space to individual body types or “doshas.”
While a well-rounded Yoga practice – i.e. Tridoshic – will serve any body type, there are certain areas that we can bring awareness to, preventing imbalances.
Vata: (air and ether) – Focuing on calming, grounding and stillness, Vata types benefit from slower transitions in vinyasas (flow yoga), holding poses for extended periods and backbends as they produce heat counteracting the Vata tendency toward being cold.
Pitta: (fire and water) Yoga is best practiced at cooler times of day with poses that include chest openers and forward bends, freedom of movement encouraging acceptance and compassion – alleviating a tendency towards a too competitive nature.
Kapha: (water and earth) As they tend to be more sedentary, the Kapha type benefit from flow style Yoga that is dynamic and stimulating, producing warmth and lightness. Twists are beneficial as they stimulate digestion.
As we learn about the different body types, we will focus on the idea of balance: each dosha has special needs that are not only inborn, but also affected by the season, time of day, eating habits and more.
For additional information on determining your "dosha", Ayurvedic consultations and more, contact the Ayurvedic Health Center in Bellingham.

shy not, dear one
from the invite
as the cosmos
beckons your hand...
to dance in a dream
unfettered
on a beach of silky sand.
feel the rhythm pulsing
as you move in perfect flow
your breath
your soul
your heartbeat
waves of letting go.
