Omega 'BEING YOGA' Conference

I just returned from Fort Lauderdale after attending a long weekend of Yoga immersion.
Being Yoga, the title of the event , brings up the question, how do we LIVE our yoga off the mat? How do we live with the heart, move with awareness, watch our intentions in everything we do, remain open to change, breath deeply, watch our words that exit the mouth , notice our choices , relate to our fellow spirits on this planet.
You, by attending Yoga classes every week, are taking the first step. The more you practice, the more Yoga becomes a lifestyle. You begin to feel the effects of a certain asana off the mat. You feel the cooling, the heating , the calming ,the discipline, the stamina, the openess, the love, the self.
We will begin to delve into why we are finding the practice of yoga fullfilling . What do we feel? Can we hold back in a pose so the ego does not take over? Can we slow down enough TO feel .
Let's take our yoga practice deeper. I mean, just alittle at a time. You cannot feed a baby a porkchop, you have to start her out with milk.

For the new year, I would love to work with more meditation, more breath awareness, looking into FEELING the asana...but continue being disciplined in the alignment, until it becomes second nature.
Take out your mat, step onto it with reverence, and practice something you can remember, 10 minutes...sit or lay quietly afterwards, and just notice how you feel afterwards.

YOGARAJ has now celebrated its first year. My most deepest thanks to all students that have come to class in heat and in cold. You have all taught me and continue to teach me to serve you in the most nuturing way. How can we all BE YOGA?
Peace to all. Diane
