Welcome to the Self Awakening Yoga Studio in Salem, New
Hampshire.
WHAT YOGA CAN DO FOR YOU
-
The physical benefits:
Creates a toned, flexible, and strong body. Improves
respiration, energy, and vitality. Helps to maintain a balanced
metabolism. Promotes cardio and circulatory health. Relieves
pain. Helps you look and feel younger than your age. Improves
your athletic performance.
-
The mental benefits:
Helps you relax and handle stressful situations more easily.
Teaches you how to quiet the mind so you can focus your energy
where you want it to go - into a difficult yoga pose, on the
tennis court or golf course, or in the office. Encourages
positive thoughts and self-acceptance.
-
The spiritual benefits:
Builds awareness of your body, your feelings, the world around
you, the needs of others. Promotes interdependence between mind,
body, and spirit. Helps you live the concept of "oneness."
Anyone can do yoga-no matter how young or old you
are whether you're a couch potato or a professional athlete. Size
and fitness level do not matter because there are modifications for
every yoga pose. The idea is to explore your limits, not strive for
some pretzel-like perfection.
If you haven't done yoga and would like to start, please join
our New Beginner Vinyasa Flow Yoga Class the first 3 Tuesdays of
each month from 7:00 - 8:00 pm.
Start by going to a yoga class. Look for a
teacher who challenges you but does not push, who offers
modifications, and who works one-on-one with students. Wear
comfortable clothing that allows you to move. Use a yoga mat for
cushioning and to keep from slipping. If there is no yoga studio in
your town, practice with a video and read books. Just remember one
thing: "No pain, no gain" is NOT the yoga way. If it hurts, stop.
Patience and feeling good about yourself and your world is the way
of the yogi.
