True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied. ~Aadil Palkhivala... #yoga #yogainspiration #asana #yogapractice #essentialyogastudio #lovefernie #ferniebc #ferniestoke #fernieyoga #cranbrookbc #sparwood #ferniebc

Practicing to live, living to practice. Our practice is the consistent willingness to open to life, with all of its joy and pain. What we experience on the mat, we experience in our relationships, our frustrations, our victories, our connections... To practice is to pay attention to your life. This practice teaches us that thoughts are the sensations of the mind, just as sensations are thoughts of the body. Each moment of your life is a moment of potential practice. Yoga practice asks us to remove the layers of doubt, fear and denial that keep us from experiencing connection with our own wholeness.

Our series Retore You starts tomorrow and it's available in the studio and on Zoom. Restorative Yoga allows us to relearn the art of relaxation while developing the skills to self-soothe.

Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony ~Debasish Mridha There is a beautiful relationship between our breath and our asanas Join us in studio or on zoom... #yoga #yogainspiration #asana #ujjayibreath #yogapractice #essentialyogastudio #lovefernie #ferniebc #ferniestoke #fernieyoga #cranbrookbc #sparwood

"Relationship is the highest yoga" Yogi Bhajan. Our relationships are our greatest challenge and our greatest solace. These connections are with ourselves, our partners, our friends our co-workers. We also have a relationship with stress, abundance and with change. First step is build awareness, this is what our practice gives us Then there is a choice to alter our experience. Observe the inner workings, peel back layer after layer of beliefs, stories and "truths". Once we... do that, the power to change is available. We can never control what happens around us but we can understand how we come into a relationship with anything and anyone. And then set the intention to do better, to be better. Not for someone else, but for ourselves. And when we do, we become more clear, more resilient, more open to our own imperfections, without judgement, without harshness. And we deepen this most important relationship, that with ourselves. And we show up for the people in our lives and offer them our love, our care and our trust. #dharma #yogastudio #fernieyoga #community #heybud #loveyou
