What do you think about yoga?


Before joining Yoganic Flow, I started to consciously think about what yoga meant to me and those around me.  To start the process I went to Facebook and posted the question...

What do you think about yoga? 
  • I like yoga but mixed with other things.  
  • I enjoy Vinyasa but not the slow flow. 
  • It’s difficult but also relaxing. 
  • It gets me back to the universe. 
  • I know I got a good workout.  
  • Helps me feel better mentally and physically. 
  • Transports you to the now. 
  • I like the kind with the fruit on the bottom, especially peach.
Yoga means something different to each person.  Even the funny response about yogurt, touches on the light hearted nature that yoga evokes. I’ve been practicing yoga for years now and I know it’s something that I always come back to doing, a habit that my mind and body crave.  I never thought I would come to a point where I’d want to do something beneficial for myself.  No distractions, nothing but me and my mat with my mind and my body.  Each time different from the last.  Some days more challenging but each class teaching me something, bringing me to a greater sense of awareness within myself and who I am.  The simple question about yoga brought about a wide range of responses, unique to each person.  That is what is truly beautiful about yoga, it is something that each person takes to their own level.  Reminding us to have no judgement, no expectations.  

What do you think?

Sage from a Sacred Spot


After reading Burn Sage To Cleanse Negativity and later visiting Innate Healing Arts Center & Golden Gate Cafe I decided to try burning sage to rid my home and environment of negative energy. Today, I'm feeling energized with positivity :)


I purchased the dry Ceremonial White Sage (pictured above) from a sacred place full of positive energy. Check out the pics:

Hip-Hop Yoga FAQ

Hip-Hop Yoga Frequently Asked Questions


What is Hip-Hop Yoga?

Hip-Hop yoga is a high-powered Vinyasa class. Students move with the energy and vibrations of hip-hop music. Strength and self-expression are parallels between yoga and hip-hop which are emphasized in this unique yoga experience.

How much does it cost?

It is a donation-based class. Pay what you can or it's FREE.

Will we do regular yoga poses?

Yes

How should I prepare?

Just bring your mat, a towel, water bottle and an open-mind to any class or workshop, please be on-time or a little early. 
*Note-Only eat a light snack an hour or two before class. Remember to drink lots of water but empty bladder before class begins.  

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing that won’t fall off. Leave jeans or any other heavy, non-stretchy material at the “crib” aka your home (FYI…hip-hop slang is used sometimes in this class;) Form-fitting flexible clothing is best.
