What is Bodhi Yoga™
Sanskrit for Awakening
Pronounced "Bo-dee", Bodhi Yoga™ is both a style of practice and a way of approaching yoga itself, that is founded on the deeper meaning of this word.
"Doing" Bodhi Yoga™ is practicing with an eye toward becoming more awake, more aware, and better able to notice and understand how your yoga moves your body, mind, emotions and spirit through the edges of harmony, toward a place of balance and abundance.
Over time, the result is that you are able to naturally increase your tolerance for that abundant space; and the abundance eventually spills-over to enrich every other area of your life.
When you practice yoga from this level of awareness, you develop an “intelligence in action” that gives you freedom to move in and out of yoga poses at your own pace, and to reach a level increased "embodiment". Bodhi Yoga™ helps you develop more fully, your optimal physical, mental & emotional strength.
Syl Carson, Bodhi Yoga™creator explains: "I like to think of the movement between one yoga asana and another as the song of my practice, and each individual pose as the space between the notes that gives the intention behind the movements their personality, rhythm and expression. Yoga at this place becomes a conversation of Breath, Bone and Gesture. I love it."
