Every year over the last decades, the number of people participating in yoga increases. If you were to take a poll of people in a yoga class asking them, “Why are you here?”, the answers would likely differ with each person. People come to yoga bringing a vast array of emotional, mental, and physical needs. Some come for stress reduction and pain relief. Others come to gain a deeper sense of inner peace and greater awareness. Still others want it for the physical workout it provides. Some are curious.
My experience is this: people are drawn to yoga because they're in some kind of pain: phyiscal or 'psychic' (emotional/mental). And, it is yoga which empowers people to tap into their four inner healers (all begin with letter ‘P’) - Inner physician to heal body; inner psychiatrist to heal mind; inner psychologist to heal emotions; inner priest to heal soul.
So, if you're already engaged in a yoga practice, keep it up. If you haven't tried you yet, take in a class (and check out our schedule on the home page for a listing of yoga opportunities).
