Guidelines for a Yoga Practice
Yoga is one of India’s six great ancient philosophies. The science of yoga is unique in that it encompasses all types of problems associated with the human condition. It is believed to have originated 5000-6000 years ago. Yoga is not a religion; instead, it is a physical and psychological discipline Yoga renews, invigorates, and heals the body—stretching and strengthening the muscles, joints, and spine and directing blood and oxygen to the internal organs. Our practice will help us balance our bodies and minds
We will practice Tantric Hatha/Vinyasa style of Yoga. Breath-synchronized movement involving special sequencing designed with a specific theme in mind. Bridgit allows students to get into the pose, to stay and explore the pose and how their bodies feel while paying particular attention to their breath. She likes to incorporate short Guided Meditations (Dyhana), and Controlled Breathing exercises (Pranayama) in her classes. Bridgit has a keen eye for detail and a strong work ethic, which contribute to her teaching style. She is passionate about proper form and alignment, safety in practice as she challenges her students to grow in their practice. She teaches both beginners and more advanced students and strives to cater to everyone that shows up for class. Bridgit loves serving others and is passionate about work-life balance and cultivating healthy lifestyle choices in herself and her students.
********************
Before beginning our Yoga practice, we must first realize that Yoga is a journey, not a destination. Each day when we wake up, our bodies feel a little different; therefore, they will react differently as we practice. No two days will be the same, and we should accept that. We should remember to breathe, feel, and listen to our bodies. We should accept who we are at each moment. We should let go of competition with, or judgment toward, ourselves and others, so that we may fully experience the joy of movement.
