Touching one to reach many - In a short phrase, this is my philosophy for life. To use all the abilities that God has placed within me to reach out and touch others. Yoga is a tool that assists me in becoming all that I can be by increasing my strength, stamina, and focus. My hope is that through yoga I can reach out to as many people as possible and bring to them the same peace I have found.
What is Yoga? Yoga means "Union" or "Yoke". It is not a religion and it is not witchcraft. It is simply an exercise style like kickboxing or aerobics that uses slow thoughtful poses and deep breathing techniques to enable you to focus your energy towards bringing the mind, body, and spirit into unity. It helps you to eliminate the distractions you face on a day to day basis long enough to achieve this.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2
|
Spiritual transformation starts in the mind and heart. You must decide in your mind that the words are true and then open your heart to the presence of God.
We can resist the temptations of our culture by meditating on Gods truth and letting the Holy Spirit guide and shape our thoughts and behaviors, but how can we hope to do that unless we get the Mind, Body, and Spirit in sync? Is it possible to truly meditate on God's will for your life if your life is filled with chaos? That's why we end up making bad decisions, losing our cool, yelling at our kids, arguing with our spouse, and if we don't get a grip, worse things, like divorce, or abandonment.
The Bible is filled with the word "Meditate"
Gen. 24:63 - Isaac meditated while waiting on a wife.
Josh. 1:8 - God spoke to Joshua about meditating on the law day and night. (continued in right column)

"I was transformed both mentally and physically by Yoga and I want to share my perspective on what Yoga can do for you." - Robin

From my personal studies I've come to the conclusion that meditation is unifying the Mind, Body and Spirit in preparation for prayer. Yoga is a physical tool that you can use to achieve this.
| From Webster's Dictionary... |
| Mind - The element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, receives, judges, mental processing. |
Body - The physical structure
(How strong is your physical structure?) |
| Spirit - The principal of conscious life; the vital principal in humans animating the body. The essence. |
