Breathing in the Lakeshore Breezes:
Using the Breath to Strengthen the Body & Mind
Experience your breath as you never have before!
Breath is the first sign of life when we enter this world, and it's the last when we leave. In yogic traditions, we call management of the breath Pranayama. The practice of Pranayama was taught well before the yoga postures were ever introduced - some records dating back over 5,000 years ago!
Come and learn how to use the breath to manage our moods,
settle our nerves and energize us....waking us up to life!
How is the quality of your breath? The quantity? The depth? Do you breathe from the belly, the chest, the shoulders? Does your breath deflate you or invigorate you? (Did you just take a deep breath in? GOOD!) Notice how you feel when you take a moment and fully experience our life force - our BREATH!
Join us for a review of Pranayama (breathing) techniques, the effects of the breath on the body and mind at all levels, some Q&A, followed by an experiential practice Wendy is known for!
Taught by visiting East Lansing teacher Wendy S. Kopitsch, Wendy is a 500 hour Advanced Viniyoga Teacher. She has been bringing yoga via the breath to studios and workplaces in the Greater Lansing area for 7+ years.

SATURDAY ~ 7AM ~ DETOX YOGA CONTINUES!
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Rise and Shine ~ Join us Saturdays ~ 7:00am ~ Detox Yoga
Detox Yoga offers us a fresh start to each and every day. No regrets, no looking back, just a choice to begin anew ~ looking FORWARD to the day and what it will present to us. Are you ready to step out of the cycle of repetitious habits that we all wish to let go of, and step into a life of clearer visions, healthier choices and peace in our hearts? We are.
The yogis believe that practicing at sunrise is a very sacred time. Not only is it the beginning of a new cycle (new day), but it is a very auspicious, advantageous time. Think of a blank canvas - what will you paint for your day?

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
LET'S "CHOOSE" TO BE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER!
A Jungian analyst commented "You think that the way you are now is the way you have to be. That isn't true. You can change all of it. You can change your relationships. You can change the way that you do things. You can change the way you feel."
It's called choice. And it's all yours.
There is nothing more radical than the moment you realize that IT IS possible to reinvent your life. We're not talking about trading in your faded blue jeans and sweatshirts for robes and mala beads - or even leaving a regular job to join the Peace Corps. We're suggesting CHANGING YOUR MIND - reconfiguring your mental and emotional attitudes, shifting your vision of life—the kind of inner shift that turns a pessimist into someone capable of seeing the perfection in everything, or that allows an angry or frightened person to learn how to channel that energy into something creative. We need to understand that giving ourselves a DAILY sense of 'self-permission' to take care of ourselves will make us happier, more peaceful, more in touch with the love and wisdom at our core, the very essence of who we are, and who we are meant to be.
