My Yoga Philosophy

In the fast paced world we live in,  it often seems that if we could just be a little better, perhaps a little nicer, or maybe a bit different than the way we are now, life would begin to work for us instead of against us. The fact that we are perfect exactly the way we are seems to us too ridiculous to even begin to contemplate. 

There is always room for change in our life, a time for shedding the old and taking on the new…my belief   is that these changes take place, not out of a sense of "not being good enough," but  because our True nature is Creative. We are...in a quite natural way...growing, creating, expanding and advancing towards full recognition of our true and devine nature...which is, and alway will be perfect.

"Yoga"  means union or merger. The ultimate aim of this philosophy is to strike a balance between mind and body, attain self-enlightenment, and thus acknowledging  that true Perfection has to do with neither. 

To achieve this,  hatha  yoga uses movement, breath, posture, relaxation and meditation in order to establish a healthy, lively and balanced approach to life

The continued  and regular practice of HathaYoga  establishes harmony between mind and body. 

My first encounter with yoga was at the age of 15. I have dedicated these past 5 decades to learning more and more about the function of the physical body and its relationship to finding lasting peace. During this time I studied under many different teachers and examined and experienced many different styles of hatha yoga. Through my ongoing dedication and continued  personal practice, I feel I am now better able to differentiate between that which might serve as a momentary fascination for our restless minds and bodies, (and thus have no real benefits to us in the long run), and that which truly supports  and strengthens us on our ongoing search for inner peace and physical well being.
I spent the first half of my life as a dancer and have experienced firsthand how essential it is to develop  a strong, supple and healthy body. Without these attributes, it is next to impossible to achieve the  balance and harmony necessary to take on the obstacles encountered on our search for a consciousness that supports us in enjoying this life to its fullest.
I have learned that hatha yoga is an extremely powerful tools for inner transformation as long as it is not taken as an end in itself. Hatha yoga is a means to strengthen our intention and focus and to strengthen our bodies so that they can become a reliable source of support and a firm foundation for something that far exceeds or limitations that bind us to the misery and frustrations we encounter in this world of form.
True yoga transcends everything we learn or attain on a physical level although mastery of the body and mind are essential to realize this. True yoga can lead us back to recognition that life is so much more than we could ever begin to imagine.
Floyoga is my attempt to integrate all that I have learned and am learning  and allow me to pass this wonderful knowledge on to my students.
