Yoga is a highly comprehensive system that nurtures all aspects of one’s being and life. Yoga positively benefits emotions and the mind, diet, nervous system and the whole body. Yoga aims to bring the whole physical system into a beautiful balance of strength and flexibility and a sense of ease. This physical well-being helps us feel more peaceful, more able to meditate and more content. In classes we always focus on breathing and meditation and our postures become a beautiful dance of moving meditation. Also, yoga classes always invite the body to move in all natural ways encouraging the health of all parts of the body including: twisting, lunging, bending forward and back and to the sides, squatting, inverting, the list goes on and on. We stretch and strengthen the spine, legs, arms, back, chest, shoulders, neck, ankles, feet, hands, and always the core.
Moving through sequences of balance postures flowing into standing poses and through sun salutes innately strengthens our whole core, front and back as we engage the core to help us maintain balance as we move from one pose to the next. Static poses standing and seated, and definitely inversions strengthen the core as we activate it the entire duration of the pose. Yoga also includes back bending highly strengthening the back muscles, a necessary balance, while stretching abdominals and the whole front body.

Self-care is “the verb of self-love. It’s really just saying, ‘How do I put into action loving myself, and reminding myself that I value my time and deserve nice things'? If it makes you feel good, it’s self-care. If it feeds your soul, it’s self-care.”
It’s a simple question. One of my favorite questions to ask as a gauge towards my alignment with truth, love, and abundance. Bringing awareness to your current focus can tell you much about where you are headed and what you are attracting as a result.
I'd love to share the advice that I wish I had known earlier: please make sure to catch yourself if you are someone who puts yourself down or buys into the saying that "we shouldn't get our hopes up" or that a goal has to be "reasonable."
Realize that we can only serve others from a place of abundance when that Universe first exist within us. You can attempt to fake it, but the Universe can’t be deceived. So, follow the whisper. Follow what feels right within you.
I am often asked: do you get adjusted too Doc? How often? Through the science of simply listening to my body, I have arrived at the number ten.
