" The purpose of yoga is the attainment of happiness, peace and bliss. The meaning of yoga is the union of individual consciousness with Shiva consciousness, with God. Yoga is the meeting of the drop and the ocean. The ultimate result of all yoga is purity of mind and body."
NIYAMAS: purity, contentment, discipline, self-study, surrender to the Divine
YOGA
Yoga originated in India over 5000 years ago. Yoga is Sanskrit for "union". In Yoga, the asanas (physical postures) are the means of finding the "inner posture", which is the experience of complete inner stillness, harmony, peace, integration, balance ...unity of body, mind, and spirit. This state of wholeness is grounded in a discipline known as the 8-limbed path.
Welcome to Peconic River Yoga! We look forward to getting to know you as a yoga practitioner. Our instructors are well qualified, having completed a thorough training in yoga instruction. Yoga is more than physical exercise; it is a transformational practice that integrates body, mind and spirit.
The following guidelines may serve useful as you begin the practice of yoga:
Feel free to ask questions about anything that is unclear to you. Let your instructor know if you are under a doctor’s care or if you have any specific health conditions.
Attend classes regularly! Try to arrive a few minutes early so that you will have time to relax and enter the spirit of yoga before class begins. Let go of your cares and concerns, and allow yourself to be in the "here and now".
Keep conversation to a minimum before, during, and after class, in order to maintain a meditative atmosphere for everyone.
Breathe smoothly and continuously as you move. Work gently, respecting your body’s abilities and limits. Never strain to attain a position.
Wear comfortable clothing, and be prepared to practice barefoot.
It is best to perform yoga postures on an empty stomach. Wait at least 2 hours after a full meal. You may, however, have a glass of juice or a piece of fruit up to an hour before.
To receive maximum benefit from classes, try to practice daily or several times weekly what you are learning in class. Reading books on yoga will be a helpful supplement to your practice.
Relax, go at your own pace, and, most importantly, have fun!
