The Benefits of Yoga:

Yoga makes you feel happy! Under the tree of happiness, there are many roots feeding it...

Physiologically, Kundalini Yoga tunes up your glandular system, the guardian of your health. Your master gland in the brain (pituitary) is responsible for those warm, fuzzy chemical secretions, like serotonin. The ancient Yogis knew how to stimulate this gland through breath, movement and chanting, which sends telegraph-like messages through the roof of your mouth. Remember the old fashioned telegraph in movies like "Lincoln"? It's the same thing happening when you chant. The tongue creates a specific pattern on your upper palate, stimulating energy meridians, sending vibrations to your brain and glands. The result is... "Ahhhh I feel good".

The stretching and deep breathing practiced in yoga have an effect on the body different from other types of exercise. Accumulated mental stress lodged in the body is one of the pandemics of our society. Since mental stress collects first in the mind, then translates to the body, the best way to release it is through the body, which then affects the mind. Stretching increases circulation, range of motion in the joints, improves posture, relieves pain and brings an overall sense of well being.
 
Energetically, yoga strengthens the aura around your body, (electromagnetic field) clears and balances your chakras, (energy centers) bringing you closer to heart centered soul living. Yoga means "union" and true Yoga practice brings an authentic harmony to those parts of you that go unnoticed, unloved or unforgiven. Body, mind and spirit begin working together in an unexpectedly practical way.




Student Testimonials:

"Thank you for what you choose to do!  You are so inspiring and fresh in your approach to yoga! Sometimes Yoga can seem so serious (which is okay) but, your huge smile and warm heart is Godly in itself.  I appreciate you taking the time to explain the different mantras  and relating our modern day human experience to that of our ancient masters in a simple yet profound way...it's so exciting!"
-Tamara Nikzad


"I took your prosperity workshop a few weeks ago and I don't know what you did, but whatever it is, I'm so grateful to you and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. The main thing I wanted to manifest was to move to San Francisco and get a new job up there by the end of the year. Literally, 4 days after your workshop, I received not only one, but two job interviews. It feels that I'm one step closer to manifesting my desire and your workshop was that extra little push I needed.  I was about ready to give up on this because I felt like it was never going to happen and felt like I was going against the current and just felt so defeated.  Now, I just need to keep cool and not screw up the process and just get out of my own way. You're an amazing teacher - can't thank you enough for strengthening my faith!"
-Susie Choy
