Bhadra Simha Yoga

The purpose of a yoga pose isn't the pose itself. It’s about preparing your body for stillness.

In the classical tradition, āsana was a means of creating the physical stability and ease needed for seated meditation. Why?

When the body settles, the breath slows. When the breath slows, the mind has space to quiet. And in that quiet, you begin to notice—your thoughts, patterns, sensations, and the deeper layers of your experience. You begin to witness the inextricable link between them.

This is the essence of yoga—the path of union. Cultivating awareness, not just in movement, but in stillness. From that place, you can build a profound sense of inner peace, resilience, and clarity.

Actually, the teacher must be sought. How else would they know you are ready???

How are YOU breathing today? When did you last take a moment to notice your breath?

By age 65, most people have lost up to 40% of their lung capacity. This dramatic decline doesn't just affect your energy – it fundamentally alters our breathing patterns in ways that can silently undermine bone health and accelerate aging.

Healthy aging isn’t a buzz phrase. After age 60, your body can fall into rapid decline. The initiative you take for self care will make all the difference in that next decade.
As a lifelong practitioner of yoga, I have experienced many of these changes and have struggled and succeeded. Change doesn’t happen overnight, yet the benefits of practice are felt rather quickly and often produce profound results. As with anything, you reap what you sow.

“Heal Thy Self”
When we start looking at the body as a whole system and work to restore its natural balance — whether through better sleep, movement, diet, or managing stress — people often feel dramatically better.

Healing isn't always fast or easy, but it's absolutely possible when we stop chasing symptoms and start supporting the body's own wisdom.
