Yoga is the Sanskrit word for “the union of body, mind, and spiritâ€.
We want to take it deeper...
The intention of Yoga Organica is to develop an environmental & cultural mindfulness through yoga and wellness education programs both in local and international communities.
We offer community yoga classes, environmental and health & wellness programs, as well as cultural yoga expeditions abroad. Classes and programs can be tailored to the particular interest of your school, organization, or group.
Yoga Organica is a community-oriented yoga concept that encourages people to connect with themselves and others more holistically, both on a local & international scale. Using the lessons and philosophy of yoga, a connection to one another and the environment, our food, our health, our society, our world will help weave us together as one and make us more conscious of our elements.
As the name implies, this yoga is organic: one that honors Mother Earth, celebrates life and respects one another. This yoga deters from the ego and materialism that recently has diluted yoga.
The VISION of Yoga Organica is to provide a space for people to gather, share, and create energy; a space that friendships are made, a forum for people to discuss what is happening to our world, our environment, and our people.
An element that we celebrate, in addition to Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire is Karma Yoga: community-service projects we lead both in Denver and abroad from the purest of intentions of selflessness and the achievement and survival of others.
Yoga Organica hosts and offers its members opportunities to be involved in grassroots fundraisers to assist local shelters, schools, and environmental and health initiatives.
We at Yoga Organica promote organic food production, distribution, and retail businesses and initiatives that support each other, the community and the environment. Yoga Organica wants to be part of the SOLUTION and we believe that community education around the dangers and inhumane practices found in corporate food production are important and necessary.
In Summer '09, Yoga Organica will begin leading groups to other countries to practice yoga alongside crashing waves on a coast or inside the heart of a jungle listening to the pulse of life. But we take it a step further. We do not stay in 5 star resorts. Accomodations are rustic and beautiful and close to the Earth. We go with an INTENTION…
...to tap into Mother Nature and absorb the richness of her beauty
...to learn from one another
...to participate in an exchange of culture
...to partake in a service project that connects us deeper with the local community
Our meals are prepared with local, organic ingredients & with LOVE. Our evenings conclude with yoga, meditation, and reflection.
Please contact Yoga Organica to schedule community classes and programs for your school, organization or group.
ABOUT YIN YOGA
excerpt taken from www.yinyoga.com ... "Yin Yoga contains the ancient, and some say original, form of asana practice. The sages who pioneered the path of yoga used asanas to strengthen the body, so that they could sit for long periods in contemplative meditation. If you have ever sat for a long time with legs crossed, you know the hips and lower back need to be strong and open. The sensations you felt were deep in the connective tissues and the joints. These are the deep yin tissues of the body, relative to the more superficial yang tissues of muscles and skin. Yin Yoga opens up these deep, dense, rarely touched areas.Recently Yin Yoga has been "re-discovered", and more and more students of yoga are adding this challenging form of practice to their regular sadhana. Years of a dedicated asana practice will make anyone healthier, stronger, and more flexible, but at some point the muscles will have reached their limit of flexibility. New depths in postures, deeper ranges of motion, or an increased flow of energy may only be achievable by focusing on the deeper tissues of the body. This is why so many students are finding Yin Yoga to be the perfect compliment and balance to their more active, yang practices.With this new awareness of the ancient practice has come the need to know more about it."
