Yoga offers strength and flexibility for physical activity, and on a deeper level, it generates energy. The energy yoga brings has a focused quality. Practicing yoga keeps you in the present moment and helps with your body awareness. The art of yoga allows you to accept your limits, listen to, and honor your body. It also teaches how to balance many aspects of your life.

I love yoga. It so good for us on every level. 

Hi Karina & Ariana!  I too love yoga!   It's a wonderful practice for your mind, body and spirit!

Hi Karina ! Thank you for invite, IO have been scanning your website trying to make up my mind which CE Program I want.

This is great!  I have found that the yoga/massage combo has been a great benefit to my life.  Yoga energizes my body at the start of the day, and restores it after a long day of work.  Especially after giving massage.

Hi Karina! Haven't had the chance to get over to this site much! Hope all is well!

Hello Community. I'm interested in re-establishing my practice in the near term. I have a growing interest in yoga and its potential connection with massage. I just wanted in introduce myself and would welcome any and all communications with therapists who are now integrating yoga and massage in their practice.

Hey group friends, can you tell me what is difference between yoga massage therapy and craniosacral therapy?

So glad all of you have joined this site.

Yoga Tip:

Yoga helps us learn not to work with our ego all the time. Yoga is for self-awareness and is not to be used as competition with yourself or others. To prevent injury while doing yoga, utilize your breath, work with your stretch point, use body awareness, and learn from a qualified instructor.

In response to Zia:

I believe yoga therapy should be taught by a licensed yoga teacher if you are going to use the word yoga. I think what the term yoga massage therapy means is yoga stretching which is a lot like Thai massage. Cranial sacral therapy is much different. Very gentle work with specific holds working with the Cranial sacral system and does not do physical stretching. What do you think?

Travis: I think Yoga for Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers is a great course to help with alignment while working and prevent injury :-)

Nice Info Karina. Really Yoga is also helpful for our body than Craniosacral therapy.

I agree with you.

Cats stretch.  They dont need to take classes.  And they never do it wrong.

Hi Tiffany. I agree and that is why different classes fit ceratin body types, previous injuries, etc. I believe a personal practice is very important so you can go inward and practice what our inner guidance tells us.

Gordon- love the comment and agree...only thing is we live busy lives and sometimes have to take classes to fit this time in. It does come naturally and we should listen to the wisdom of our bodies.

Interesting - I just found this group.  I recently became a Registered Yoga Teacher - Yoga Alliance 200 RYT - and find Yoga extremely beneficial for myself and for my clients.  I have been a LMT and Reiki Master/Teacher for 18 years.  Yoga Therapy is a growing profession and fits right along with what we do.

So glad you joined Viola. I also became a Yoga Teacher to help my clients. No one taught yoga in the town I lived in. Reiki, Yoga, and Massage work in such a complimentary way. It is great to see these disciplines grow the last 15 to 20 years!

What do you get from for your Personal Yoga practice?

Yoga can picks my mood up and energizes me, helps me be more positive, and clears my mind so my thoughts are more organized.

On the physical level, practicing yoga can open energy meridians and chakras which can lead to better health, and give your body increased flexibility and strength. Never underestimate the power of yoga and what it can do for your body and your life.

I like to practice at least 3 times per week to keep my body supple and my mind relaxed. 

The other day I received a question about someone that had sustained a groin injury from doing Bikram yoga. In our society, yoga is used as more of a physical system instead of a means to relaxing the physical body. Sometimes yoga can be used as a competition instead of going within. Adductor strains can be caused from going beyond your stretch point or twisting too far in Triangle pose. In this blog, I explain how to do Triangle Pose correctly. igetintouch.com

Stay healthy!

Start your practice with centering in a supine, standing, or seated position and create an intention for your practice. Centering includes an intention to be mindful of the present and focus on the breath. Then, move onto a warm up so you can move your spine in all directions, increase range of motion in the joints, and increase the internal heat throughout the body. Asanas include standing postures, seated, supine, and prone postures, inversions, and twists.
