A Rationale for Mindbody Connection

An overall theme for Mindful Yoga Classes is strengthening and deepening an essential connection to our body, our breath, our mind and our emotions. By connection I mean a quality of relationship affected by depth of awareness and sense of meaning.

Primary to our promoting our health, healing and wellness is the nature of the connectedness across our mindbody system.

The experience of disconnection may be described as fragmentation, imbalance, lack of control, and absence of ease.

To establish and deepen healthy connectedness within ourselves we purposely slow down, become quiet, pay attention, and listen to the wisdom of our bodymind through all of our senses within the present moment.

We can learn to recognize signs of imbalance (on increasingly subtle levels) and hone our skills to influence ourselves toward balance and mindbody health.

As we strengthen our connectedness we experience increased awareness, respect, self-care, stability and harmony affecting not only ourselves, but also our relationships, and our quality of life.

A quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn:
"The more conscious we are of our interconnectedness, the more effective we will be."
