September News
Please join us at the Florida Baptist Children’s Homes this upcoming Saturday, September 7th for a relaxing 2 hour introductory activity session of Ashtanga Yoga with Cesi Lainez.
Ashtanga yoga is the branch of yoga that analyzes the mind and aims to gain control over it. This type of yoga was systematized by Sri K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore India. Ashtanga yoga literally means the path of 8 limbs and it is also known as Raja Yoga(which means king or highest,of yoga) because it’s based on 8 principles that lead to the purification of the mind and body in order to achieve the self or Atman.
Cesi, a Raja Yogi herself, will be teaching and sharing with us her love for this practice, by introducing us to the primary(or first) series, as it consists of 62 other postures. Cesi has expressed her desires and passion to be able to share this gift with Chicktime’s volunteers and the children we serve!
Raja Yoga’s first series deal with the following:
Yamas
Non-violence
Non-violence
Truthfulness
Honesty, non-stealing
