Some of the Things you
will Discover in our Yoga System ebooks :
- If you stay
with yoga long enough, you may discover a "spiritual
awakening" (for lack of a better phrase.)
- You will find
out that who you are, is not just your body, and not just the
conversations in your mind. This is not dogma, but a direct
experience.
- Yoga will open
your eyes to things you have not experienced before. It will
take you beyond the mundane survival level and into a whole
new appreciation of life.
- Genuine yoga
will change your life, your habits, your body, your health,
your mind, your breathing patterns, your attitudes, your
outlook. Yoga is about learning from direct experience.
- You will
develop wisdom of how your body works most efficiently. You
will learn how your conscious and unconscious mind can either
support or harm you, and then later, a deeper wisdom naturally
gets revealed. There is more.....
You will also Learn that
:
- Yoga is not a
religion at Eyes of the World. You don't have to adopt any
beliefs, gurus or foreign deities. There is no conflict with
whatever you believe in.
- We are
grateful to all the teachers we have studied with, yet we
promote no lineages, no fundamentalist doctrines. We want
students who question and challenge everything and take
nothing at face value.
- Yoga is not
about strength and flexibility. You don't have to be
flexible to practice yoga. Strength and flexibility will
happen as a secondary benefit when you practice. The
practice at Eyes of the World, is physically challenging,
sometimes even "aerobic" in Level One and Level Two classes,
but fitness is a secondary benefit.
- You will need
to practice alignments, breath and awareness many times a
week, at home, in the car, waiting in line. Eventually yoga is
an all day long practice. Then, you'll begin to experience its
true depth.
- Many people
come to yoga because of back pain, sciatica, neck problems,
breathing problems, heart problems, anxiety, diabetes, plantar
fascitis, stress disorders, ulcers, addictions, anxiety, panic
attacks, depression, or they want to lose weight.
- This is a good
thing. Because many find that yoga is so much more than the
physical problems that they first came for. While yoga is very
effective in alleviating certain types of medical conditions,
these are secondary benefits. Yoga is not a medical practice,
but it has been shown to be very helpful in many ways.
