 From
the author….Welcome to my creation and
the opportunity to explore this innovative aquatic program,
Yoga Afloat®. Many have found mystical healing powers
from regular participation in these classes under skilled
Yoga Afloat Certified teachers.
Yoga Afloat® combines flowing dynamic movements with traditional
yoga poses, that when assisted by the water, help lengthen
and strengthen muscles, support weak joints, and improve balance
and coordination. It is through regular practice of these
movements and poses (asanas) that chronic pain, muscle injuries
and imbalances may be greatly dimished over time.
My personal experience with chronic fatigue and fibromyalsia
lead me to the development of Yoga Afloat®. When I could
no longer practice yoga or any other land based activity I
was drawn back to the water to just be. Moving in the water
had always felt natural, sensual, and relaxing to me. But
now I wanted no boucing, loud music or splashing. I needed
to hear my own breath and to be conscious of my every move.
Getting reacquainted with my body and its’ new limitations
was as much a mental experience as it was physical. Letting
go was key to achieveing more. Stepping back from my own expectations
and discovering what happened one day at a time taught me
patience. Patience brought me peace. Peace and patience brought
me back to health.
