In our modern age, the power of the ancient practice of yoga remains present and relevant. Once we make authentic contact with that power,  sometimes even after only a small taste, this deep meaning has a way of seeping into every aspect of our lives. Hatha yoga uses the body as a vehicle, allowing us to grow from our everyday awareness and presence into our greater potential as humans.

There are so many contexts available in which to study yoga - many differing styles, traditions and philosophies we can turn to to aid in our personal growth. We don't all have the goal to teach others, but we can use the knowledge we might receive from more advanced training to develop a better understanding of what is right for us each day and each situation, both on and off the mat. Gradually, practice then becomes less about what our teacher is telling us to do in class or less about accomplishing the latest challenge pose you saw in a magazine, though these things can be very important sources of inspiration.

Deepening study helps you to find clarity and trust in yourself, to choose whatever practice is right for you in the moment -- to become your own best teacher.

Curious to learn more? You're invited to join Leslie for a free info session on Saturday, November 16th (see event info below).  She'll lead a short yoga practice, discuss components of the HeartSong Immersion and Teacher Training program and answer any questions you might have. 

"Not only did we explore asanas in depth (being an anatomy/physiology junkie, I love that!) and all those other areas of yoga beyond asana, but I can say it was a truly transformative experience beyond what I could ever have imagined! I learned a lot about myself and had some areas of personal healing that came about because of that exploration. The Immersion really helped kick start a home meditation and yoga practice that I had struggled with developing. It changed my body, mind, and spirit, and gave me the tools to help yoga become a sustaining force in my life."
