Why Yoga?
In the midst of our modern world characterized by daily stress,
fatigue, and pollution, more and more people are seeking relaxation
and inward awareness. Yoga provides a refuge away from the everyday
confusion, allowing us to step back and gain perspective. The practice
of yoga will allow you to release stress from your physical body,
clear your mind and allow your spirit to become stronger. Yoga may
seem like the fabled elixir of life a cure-all solution to our daily
problems and concerns such as illness. But actually, the benefits
Yoga practitioners have been experiencing for thousands of years
are now being proven by medical science. Yoga relaxes the body and
the mind, improves your resistance to disease and increases your
energy level and productivity.
Yoga Instructor Profile:
Lisa
Frerichs
Registered Teacher
with Yoga Alliance
Yoga by definition means ‘union’ and as a teacher
I work to blend the various aspects of multiple yoga styles to create
a meaningful physical, emotional and spiritual experience that fits
the needs of each student. I am thankful that Yoga has been a part
of my life for more than 10 years. As a practitioner I have studied
various styles of yoga: Sivananda path of Hatha Yoga with Chris Miller,
Iyengar Yoga with Francois Raoult, Kundalini Yoga Sat Dharm Singh
and Power Vinyasa yoga with Baron Baptist and Seane Corn.
I completed my 200 hour teacher certification with
YogaFit, in a Vinyasa style of Hatha yoga. In 2009 I completed both
the intro and advanced Restorative Yoga training with Judith Hanson
Lasater. 2010 trainings include Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher’s Training
with Elise Miller, several anatomy training classes and Ayurvedic
training with Dr. Svoboda.
Yoga as you need it.
I am a believer in acceptance. In the past 3000 years yoga has been
evolving, and hundreds of yoga styles have been created. All forms
of yoga can be a positive addition in our lives, but all forms
may not be what we need at this moment, and just as yoga has evolved,
so will our practice of yoga evolve, we just need to be open to
receive what we need. |
