Meditation in Motion



“Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”

My first yoga teacher often started her classes with the above quote from St. Augustine.  As these words began to draw me into my yoga practice and my body, I learned that the body is a powerful means for strengthening my connection to God.  This is something that I was already experiencing through singing – raising my voice in song had always been my favorite way to pray.  Now, I had another amazing tool.

Every time that I practice yoga, my mind is pulled away from the distractions of daily life.  This prepares me for the fruit of the practice, which is the still time at the end.  This is a valuable time for me to connect with spirit.

I am so fortunate to be able to teach yoga.  It is my joy to help others learn about this transformative practice.
