How many of us are leading elaborate lives? Juggling responsibilities of work, school, or family and often a combination of all! It seems like we never stop moving, even when chained to our desks. Yet what if we brought a mindfulness to that seemingly chaotic movement? Perhaps even going so far as moving ourselves towards a less stressful life? DIG Yoga provides a way to bring mindfulness into movement and align our daily life from a point of wellness.
It's true! According to the scholar Karen Armstrong, “The word ‘yoga’ derives from the verb yuj: ‘to yoke’ or ‘to bind together’. Its goal was to link the mind of the yogin with his Self and to tether all the powers of impulses of the mind, so that consciousness becomes unified in a way that is normally impossible for human beings.”
I know that might sound a little 'out there' but there is a reason that more than 25 million Americans turn to yoga. This reason is simple, alignment based yoga brings us back into center and help us to find the calm in the crazy. And while any yoga is better than no yoga, not all is equal, and not every establishment that offers yoga is looking to engage the mind, body, and spirit of the practitioner. That is why Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny started DIG Yoga over fives years ago in Lambertville, NJ. And it is the founding principles that brought DIG Yoga to Philadelphia just over a year ago, when Sue partnered with Mariel Freeman.
