Next Door Yoga -with Leah
Next Door Yoga strives to promote the health of both mind and body, hoping to inspire you to find happiness and balance through mindful living.
Yoga is a journey to the center of ourselves upon which we must pass through many doors. Along the way we will meet others who will help to guide us in our understanding, intentionally or otherwise. We can encounter these people anywhere in our lives, in a class, a chance meeting while traveling abroad, or even our next door neighbors. There is a connotation of comfort, safety, and support in thos
Let us complain less....

"For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short to witness all the marvels of it." -Don Juan Matus
"Love is an act of will both intention and action"

Soham - a mantra that is already part of your nature as it is the sound of the breath. Sooooo...the sound of inhalation. Hummm...the sound of exhalation.
The Sanskrit word also translate to 'I am that.' When remembered repeatedly, it declares 'I am that I am that I am' - signifying that the Divine is infinite.
May you remember the Soham mantra often throughout your day. Namaste.

"Most people’s lives go in trying to manage a perfect external situation – which is impossible to achieve. Yoga focuses on the inner situation. If you can create a perfect inward situation, no matter what the external situation, you can be in perfect bliss and peace."
Taming The Mind and Ego - The Isha Blog Sadhguru looks at how Patanjali defines yoga as “chitta vritti nirodha”, or to still the modifications of the mind. He tells us a story to illustrate the point.
