You cannot do yoga.  Yoga is your natural state. 

What you can do are yoga exercises,

which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state. 

~Sharon Gannon

If you are new to yoga, you may not realize that there are as many different styles of yoga as there are varieties of ice cream at Baskin Robbins.

If you read Dashama's Ebook, "Intro to Yoga: Getting Started on the Right Foot" you will learn the ins and outs of getting started in yoga from a to z. It also details all of the most commonly known styles available in the world today, so you can select the style that most resonates with your goals and needs. It shares full details about each style from restorative yoga to power yoga, and everything in between. As well as the pros and cons of classes, private lessons and dvds and much much more.

"Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured." ~B.K.S. Iyengar

It is important that you know why you want to do yoga, in order to choose a style that will best fit your needs and goals. Additionally, you will find that even different teachers of the same style will resonate with you to varying degrees. You will find the teachers that inspire and motivate you to continue your practice and offer you the guidance you need and desire.

"I have been practicing yoga for six years, and Dashama's yoga is by far my favorite!

Her peaceful yet powerful style is the most enjoyable I have ever experienced.

I love her DVD and look forward to the day when I can experience her yoga live at one of her retreats!"

~'Yo Pal' Hal Elrod, Creator of The Miracle Morning®, www.MiracleMorning.com

When choosing a teacher, find someone who practices what they teach/preach. This is an important key.

The Pranashama Vinyasa style of yoga is versatile: it is always healing, while the pranic and energetic peaks and valleys vary in the different sequences offered. Some days we have lots of energy and we really want to work on strength and endurance. Some days we can hardly move our bodies and we need a yoga that will move slowly and heal us from the inside out.

Chitta Vritta Niroda- Calming the mental fluctuations of the mind.All great yogis will tell you that that is the key to enlightenment. In that space of mental clarity, all possibilities exist. Unbounded creativity, infinite potentiality and bliss reside beyond the mental chatter. This is achieved in many ways. You can sit still in lotus position with eyes closed or trance dance to music that moves the room and rocks your soul. I'm here to share with you all of this. There's no "one size fits all" way to attaining enlightenment. Not to mention, it's much more fun to try new things! If you keep it interesting and you will stick to your path. As you do, you will see all of the hours of practice (sadhana) will be apparent in THE PERSON YOU ARE BECOMING. Your radiant inner being will begin to shine brighter and ever more luminescent every day.

Have you been seeking a way to incorporate exercise into your life that will also leave you feeling uplifted and rejuvenated in your mind and spirit as well?

Pranashama Yoga will help and encourage you to:

• Shed excess weight to reveal your radiant beauty
• Become more flexibile and free
• Become lighter in your body
• Liberate your creative life force energy
• Heal your life
• Move with Grace
• Reconnect with your inner child
• Draw closer to your Higher Self
• Still your chaotic mental chatter
• Try new things with no pressure or competition
• Strengthen your mind, body, spirit and emotions.

Pranashama literally translates to Prana: sacred lifeforce energy and shama: calming

of the mind or Sacred life force energy that calms the mind.

Pranashama Yoga is a combination of arts: YOGA (Prana Vinsyasa/Asthanga & Power Styles with an emphasis on proper alignment and core control), DANCE, MARTIAL ARTS (Kung Fu, Qi Gong and Thai Chi) & THAI YOGA MASSAGE (accupressure & meridian clearing techniques to heal and restore your body). Dashama will take you on a journey of self discovery through your mind, body, spirit and emotions. You will touch yourself in places you may have never known existed. You will begin to see where you have been holding and storing tension in your body and through a process of letting go, you will begin to witness complete transformation on all levels. Once you realize how everything is interconnected, you will become very clear about what steps are necessary to raise you up to the next level in all areas of your existence.

I recently came across you on the internet, and needless to say, you have changed my life. I have been practising yoga for several years now, but do not do it daily. Looking at you has inspired me to start doing practise every day. Please let me know if you would ever be in the Atlanta area. I think there is a lot of interest in this city for Yoga.
