It is believed that in order to release these emotional patterns we must embark on an inner journey that takes us beyond the level of thought and conditioning into the various layers of the mind body complex.
By using a combination of breath and consciousness, yoga becomes a safe and gentle way to connect to ourselves and our deeper states of being. Yoga is not just the position; rather it is the deep exploration of mindfulness and breath within the position.
