In a world full of distractions, finding clarity, inner peace, and a deeper connection to oneself can feel like a challenge. But what if the key to higher consciousness—a state of expanded awareness and profound understanding—was already within you?
For thousands of years, yoga has been practiced not just as a form of movement but as a pathway to higher states of consciousness, self-awareness, and enlightenment. Science now supports what ancient yogis have always known: yoga influences brain activity, nervous system function, and mental clarity, all of which contribute to expanded awareness.

Set an intention!
In yoga, you set an intention at the beginning of your practice. As a Christian, I like to choose bible verses that can lead my practice- and day- in a positive direction. Here are some of my favorites:
- Psalm 16:9 – “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.“
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
