Yoga
I believe there is more that unites us than divides us and that yoga can occur naturally across cultures and time as each one of us breathes from the same source. May we all have the courage, love, and wisdom to open to our full potential.
I am an RYT 200 certified yoga instructor since 2003. I have been practicing yoga since 1994. Although yoga is not a religion there is a proven ancient science to it that aligns me with universal energy or in my own words "my idea of God". To me, this universal energy is more intelligent than my small self, thankfully. When I practice yoga on-and-off the mat, I truly practice a healthy surrender to the science of yoga, which includes breath work, scripture reading, meditation, chanting and asana. When I do this my life feels genuine and when I don't I feel more suffering.
Basti Yoga
Overtime as yogi's and yogini's we learn or may become drawn to the importance of purity/cleanliness through one of the Niyama's know as Saucha. The ancient yogi's developed six kriyas or cleansing practices to aid in our journeys toward Saucha, hence called shat-karma. Shatkarma refers to the yogic practices involving purification of the body. These practices, are outlined in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
One of the six kriyas is called Basti Yoga, which is the ancient version of enemas or better known of today as a colonic irrigation. Through the disipline of colonics not only is your overall health improved, but your yoga practice is taken to new levels.
