Simply check in , pay one price, then let yourself relax. Yoga is an ancient art that has the aim of bringing the practitioner back to the true self. The ancient scriptures tell us that the true self is the state of bliss. It is a state of inner happiness. The sage Patanjali who wrote the ‘Yoga Sutra’ – an ancient recorded text on yoga codifying the system to date – gave the definition of yoga as ‘Yoga chiti vriti nirodha’. This translates from the original Sanskrit into English to meaning that yoga is the stopping of the fluctuations of the psyche. Historically there have been two main paths of yoga — raja yoga and hatha yoga – and these both ultimately aim for control over the mind. Asana practice – the practice of yoga postures – was created in order to stabilise us for sitting during meditation. Yoga was created ultimately to bring us into meditation and hence deeper states of awareness. we provide beautiful and unique accommodations, serve locally-sourced and artfully-prepared meals, and do all the legwork to form sure your daily activities are well-planned and [most importantly] crammed with fun and wonder. The mysterious first yoga class is a time of discovery. You’ll discover that not every yoga practitioner is a highly committed, eco-conscious vegetarian; that designer gear will not help you into a difficult pose any sooner; and you will discover secrets about your body and your mind that even you never knew. Sound intriguing? Well that’s relaxing yoga offers in Nashville for you! It’s more than just an exercise class. Yoga teachers have got your back – there’s no need to worry Yoga people tend to be a friendly bunch. The dynamics of each yoga class and each studio differ greatly but all should be welcoming and inclusive, not judgemental. Everyone in the class is an equal in the eyes of the teacher so stop worrying about your lack of knowledge or inability to touch your toes, it simply doesn’t matter. Don’t try to keep up with other people in the class. Yoga is an individual practice and everyone is different. Even yoga teachers aren’t perfect at every pose. We all have our physical limitations and part of yoga is learning to respect your body, be kind to it and don’t push it further than it wants to go. Your body will open into poses when it is ready, so be patient during the early stages of your practice. What to take to yoga classes On a practical note, what do you take to a class? Water is a good idea, unless you are practising Ashtanga when water should not be consumed during the class. You may wish to take a small towel and, if hygiene concerns you, your own mat and an eye pillow for the relaxation at the end.
