VALENTE AND ANTONIO MAROTTA As the flame of light in a windless place remains tranquil and free from agitation, likewise, the heart of the seeker of Self-Consciousness, attuned in Yoga, remains free from restlessness and tranquil. —The Bhagavad Gita The philosophy of yoga has been used for millennia to experience, examine, and explain the intricacies of the mind and the essence of the human psyche. The sage Patanjali, who compiled and codified the yoga teachings up to his time (500–200 BCE) in his epic work Yoga Darsana, defined yoga as a method used to still the fluctuations of the mind to reach the central reality of the true self (Iyengar, 1966). Patanjali’s teachings encour- age an intentional lifestyle of moderation and harmony by offering guidelines that involve moral and ethical standards of living, postural and breathing exercises, and various meditative modalities all used to cultivate spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness.

Research is beginning to demonstrate that individuals who suffer the effects of trauma have often experienced several negative events that accumulate over the course of one’s lifetime. It has been displayed that when treated early, the adverse effects of trauma may be much less debilitating. Recent studies indicate traumatic memories are often stored within the body and are difficult to recall through cognition alone. Therefore, somatic therapies such as yoga are proving to be an effective means of working through this unresolved trauma.

  • Class Descriptions
    Class Descriptions: Vinyasa Yoga: Vinyasa yoga is a derivative of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga lineage and is the integration and synchronization of movement with the breath. In these classes posyuress are sequenced together in a strategic way so that each pose will help you find the balance and opening needed for the next. Vinyasa yoga has both physical and mental benefits. The flowing nature of the movements builds cardiovascular endurance while the poses build both strength and flexibility. The proper use and synchronization of the breath taps deep into the nervous system creating a relaxed, meditative experience. Perfect for beginners to advanced practitioners. Power Flow: Based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system, power flow classes are challenging and fun. They give the practitioner more opportunity to work on deepening their practice through more advanced postures and transitions, including armbalances, handstands, headstands, hip openers and backbends Be prepared to work hard, sweat, laugh and play as we explore our limitless boundaries together. Modifications and options are given for all poses making Power Classes accessible to anyone, however it is recommended that students already have some Vinyasa or other types of yoga experience. Ashtanga: One of the more traditional lineages of modern yoga, Ashtanga Yoga is a vigorous, sweat producing, detoxifying practice that brings strength, flexibility and endurance to the body. The meditative practice is designed to purify the body while synchronization of the breath helps to still the mind. The postures are organized in 6 set sequences, each of which always begin with sun salutation and standing poses and conclude with a finishing series.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.
