My Yoga Experience I hope that the scene above allows you to relax and enjoy this page.  Maybe it might put you in the mood to try some of the poses.  If so, remember that breathing is key.

I'd love to share the fun and joy that I am currently experiencing with my practice of Yoga.
I am performing Yoga postures that I never in life thought possible. For me, it is a miracle.
I am taking private lessons and I live for that special day to roll around.
Finally found the perfect exercise form for me.

The very first thing that lesson, was to learn to:
                       

She put it quite simply.
Take a deep breath to inhale, place the tongue in the roof of the mouth, and make a sound as if snoring.
Exhale doing the same thing. I learned right off the bat to breathe correctly. She is one great instructor.

I am also learning about Chakras and how they benefit our lives when we become aware of them and use them. Wonderful stuff, this Body Awareness!
