I’m a mid sixties, mother. I have been busy mothering most of my life, but I have also become aware of my own place in the universe and how my spirit evolves through the various roles I play and the people I meet and the situations I’ve been in my life and how my spirit has sustained me and brought me to Awakenings Yoga Studio.
Why do you recommend Awakenings Yoga Studio?
I have practiced yoga before, but I had a disconnect as it was mostly physical, however, doing yoga with Shanti, I’ve been able to really concentrate on my breathing and not necessarily hurry through the poses, but to feel the poses more and to stay in the poses and breathe into them. This enables me to strengthen and relax my muscles and I feel as one. I feel totally united which is very relaxing.
What prompted you to start yoga with Shanti?
I had been looking for something that was more than just a gym yoga, then I received a flyer from Awakenings and it spoke to me and I tried it out, and I’ve been very, very happy.
What benefits do you receive from yoga with Shanti?
The benefits I get are calmness, feeling centred and I feel uplifted. When I come to class I feel like I can leave my outside trappings behind and focus and become one with this energy. Shanti’s classes nurture and uplift me. It releases tension,anxieties and all those niggles that build up in daily life. I leave feeling very refreshed and calm and back into my own body which is a wonderful feeling.
