Introduction to the

Philosophy of Yoga

with Shri

Sunday, Sept. 26th

2:00pm

Cost: FREE

in Celebration of National Yoga Month


The goal of life is happiness. As we move through life we have acquired many things, pursued many interests and advanced in technology and education. Many years have passed since we set out on that goal, by designing a lifestyle towards that end. But the pursuit has remained a pursuit alone, with a few fleeting moments of happiness here and there and the goal being as elusive as it was years ago. This introductory talk looks at why that is so, and the vision of the ancient Yogis of how real happiness can be achieved.

Although yoga and running lie on opposite ends of the exercise spectrum, the two need not be mutually exclusive. During the course of an average mile run, your foot will strike the ground 1,000 times. The force of impact on each foot is about three to four times your weight. All sports injuries are caused by imbalances. The pain most runners feel is not from the running in and of itself, but from imbalances that running causes and exacerbates. If you bring your body into balance through the practice of yoga, you can run long and hard for years to come. Yoga will help you increase range of motion, agility, flexibility, lung capacity, endurance, and strength.


This class is a mid-level class that is open to anyone regardless of yoga experience. The class will include asanas (yoga movements) that will stretch and strengthen the runners body, meditation for relaxation and focus, and pranayama (breathing exercises) to increase stamina and lung capacity.


Ricky Heldt is a Certified Integrative Yoga Therapy Instructor, Chair Yoga Instructor, MS Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master, Meditation Teacher and Thai Massage Therapist. He has been teaching and practicing healing arts for more than 10 years.
