KARUṆĀ

(n.) Karuṇā : Sanskrit for Compassion

How the Practice of Yoga Harmonizes Our 3 Vital Aspects

Body

As you become more in tune with your body you will figure out what movements work best for you. When you are conscious of your body, its needs and limitations, it can help support you throughout your life. The body was built to move and the more we move, the healthier our bodies can be!

Mind

There are numerous types of meditation techniques and approaches out there, many which help to settle the mind. It can be helpful to work with an experienced teacher who can help guide you to a beneficial practice for your specific needs and temperament, but it is also good to explore on your own and see what feels right.

Spirit

The word spirit comes from the Latin word “spiritus” which literally means breath. Our breath connects us to our deeper selves and life itself. It is also the link between the body and the mind, and when these two aspects of us are linked through conscious breath, the Central Nervous System is set for healing on all levels.
