How Do I Know If This Is “Working”

Progress in Yoga can be subtle, awareness is key to seeing and experiencing the shifts. It can manifest gently in our emotions as more patience or perseverance or overall contentment. It can manifest physically as more mobility, flexibility or strength but is more likely as ease in everyday movement. It can manifest as healthy digestion, better quality sleep or more open communication. It’s not like weight lifting or basketball where you can measure how much you lift or how many baskets you make. Progression is more subtle and can take more awareness. If you are open to seeing the shifts, they will reveal themselves.

Yogi Institute Philosophy

The Yogi Institute philosophy is that some form of yoga not only CAN be practiced daily but should be practiced daily to live a healthy, fulfilled and joyful life. This is why the weekly schedule is the way it is, there are physically challenging practices, mentally challenging practices and relaxing practices that soothe your nervous system and help you to connect more deeply to your heart and higher self. This is more of a wellness system than anything. As your commitment to your daily practice deepens and yoga becomes a part of who you are, transformation occurs in your life.
