Looking for a good book to read this weekend? Lucinda is currently reading "Alligator" by Lisa Moore. She is enjoying it because it offers her a bit of downtown St. John's, Newfoundland, a place she called home for many years! According to Goodreads, "Alligator is a remarkable book, a suspenseful, heartfelt, and sexy story that examines the ruthlessly reptilian and painfully human sides of all of us." Lisa Moore is an East Coast author and "Alligator" was nominated for a Gi...ller Prize. Have you read it yet? Let us know what you thought of it. If you haven't, it's a character book you might want to check out! #supportfredlocal #yogaaboveaura #lucindaellis

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s Bob‘s turn to teach tonight. Intermediate Iyengar Yoga 6:00 PM to 7:30. Bring a yoga mat and a face mask. See you soon! Yoga is as old and traditional as civilization, yet it persists in modern society as a means to achieving essential vitality. But yoga demands that we develop not only strength in body but attention and awareness in mind. The Yogi knows that the physical body is not only the temple for our soul but the means by which we embark... on the inward journey toward the core. Only by first attending to the physical body can we hope to accomplish anything in our spiritual lives. - BKS Iyengar (Light on Life) . . #bksiyengar #bobpower #yogaaboveaura See more

Yoga is the study of the SELF. Do something good for YOU. Body, mind, spirit.

Many of our Iyengar Yoga students have been coming for years. Geraldine explains why she has been a student for 10 years ... Did you know Yoga Above Aura is New Brunswick's only Iyengar Yoga Studio? With 5 certified teachers, the level of instruction and professionalism is very apparent. Come and try a class, feel the awakening! #fredericton #yogaaboveaura #iyangaryogacanada

LEVEL 2 class 12:00 with BOB and the theme today is Forward Extensions and Forward Bends. BEGINNER class 5:45 with Lucinda all are welcome. One of our favourite resting poses is Adho Mukha Virasana (Downward Facing Hero's Pose) because it provides a nice long extension in the spine, relieving the muscles in the lower back. Lowering the forehead to the floor soothes the nerves and quiets the brain. Something we all need these days!... #fredericton #yogaaboveaura #yogafredericton #thursdaymotivation #aurawholefoods

Level One Iyengar Yoga with Bob is 6:00-7:30 Tuesday evening. The lunch hour class is cancelled for today. . Good news ... Bob is teaching prnyma tonight! Learn breathing techniques that both calm you and bring you energy. "As the lion, the elephant, and the tiger are tamed gradually, so also breath has to be tamed, otherwise it can be harmful to the sdhaka. - Geeta S. Iyengar ... . #fredericton #pranayamabreathing #yogafredericton #justbreathe #breatheinbreatheout #yogaforlife #yogaaboveaura #bobpower #tuesdayvibes #tuesdayquotes See more

TUESDAY 6:00 Iyengar Yoga with Bob - Forward Extensions Here he is demonstrating Parsva Upavistha Konasasa. "This asana stretches the hamstrings and helps the blood to circulate properly in the pelvic region and keeps it healthy. It prevents the development of hernia in the spine and relieves sciatic pains. Since the asana controls and regulates the menstrual flow and also stimulates the ovaries, it is a boon to women." - BKS Iyengar, LIGHT ON YOGA

GOOD NEWS STORY We reached a milestone, and we are grateful! #ThankfulTuesday #tuesdayfeels #tuesdayvibes

Sure there are many options available online. Why should you attend weekly classes, live and in person? To have the guidance of an expert, and to learn to do the asanas properly, in the safest manner. Feeling sore muscles after class? Over time it gets easier. "The right method of doing asanas brings lightness and an exhilarating feeling in the body as well as in the mind and a feeling of oneness of body, mind and soul." - BKS Iyengar

"The yogi's life is not measured by the number of his days but by the number of his breaths. Therefore, he follows the proper rhythmic patterns of slow deep breathing. These rhythmic patterns strengthen the respiratory system, soothe the nervous system and reduce craving." - BKS Iyengar . #frederictonwellness #yogaaboveaura #frederictonfitness

Doris will help you feel relaxed and restored. #frederictonwellness #restorativeyoga #yogaaboveaura

Here is something to think about...

Learning to do Salamba Sirsasana (head stand) requires a lot of work in the shoulders and shoulder blades. Many people think it’s the head that takes the weight, this isn’t true. The fore arms are the base, from the elbows to the wrists. The entire body lifts, the feet reaching towards the ceiling, with enough lift that the body (and head) feels lighter. . Nervous? Don’t worry, you will learn it in steps! Join Lucinda Friday 3:30.... . . . #salambasirsasana #headstandpractice #iyengaryogainversions #frederictonnb #frederictonfitness #learningsirsasana #bettereveryday #foreverastudent #yogaaboveaura #upsidedownlife #teachmeyoga #kingofasanas #fridaymotivation See more
