What is yoga and what makes PLY different?
We know, this yoga thing can get a little confusing. There are so many different styles and approaches to this life changing practice. It can be hard to figure out what is best for us and where to start when it comes to our personal yoga journey. The Pure Living Yoga Method is designed to encompass all aspects of yoga and the 8 limbs to create well rounded practices specific to each individual and their mind-body.
In the general sense, yoga means meditation and meditation means to remove all fluctuations of the mind that separate us from our truest state (Samadhi). This is the goal, but this takes practice. Yoga is all about exploration, and it is very personal, so remember to always do what works best for you and give yourself some time to figure it out.
Our recommendation is that whenever you can, take a full practice. This means staying for multiple classes in a row to allow yourself to move through the full process of heating and cooling the body and mind to more easily access the space of meditation. We understand that sometimes we only have an hour, and that’s okay, but yoga was never meant to be practiced in a microwave approach. Our schedule is set up in a way that each day is an opportunity to dive into the full spectrum approach. Here is a bit more info on these steps and what classes correspond with each part of the amazing process.
