Community Yoga Center

We associate yoga with feeling good. We often come to yoga to feel better – physically, mentally, and emotionally. And we find incredible relief and benefit – a more vital body, relaxed mind, and open heart. Yoga feels like a salve to our pain, and we notice many healing, healthful, and happy effects. We feel great – even ecstatic – and are motivated to continue practicing.

But, at some point, we begin to realize that yoga is more than a “feel good” experience. We discover that yoga is about getting real with, being present for, and developing a wise relationship with all of experience – including the unwanted aspects of life that make us uncomfortable. We learn that yoga can help us expand our capacity for meeting life’s difficulties and feel an unconditional kind of “okayness” – an inner freedom that is not conditioned on getting what we want or avoiding what we don’t want.

Yoga helps us sensitize and attune to our pain, fear and desire - so we can “play the edges” of our physical, mental, and emotional limitations. Exploring the edges of our experience can be messy and feel unsettling because the edgy space contains the unfinished business of our hearts and unpleasant aspects of ourselves that are products of our deep insecurities and compulsions. It takes immense courage to explore this space. Yet, doing so can help move through pain, fear, and desire - to the natural state of being - a limitless space that is our essence nature. ♥️
