Best Yoga Classes in Everett, WA

Briefly, they are practicing non-violence, truthfulness, not stealing, moderation, generosity, purity and cleanliness, gratitude, self-discipline, a willingness to study and grow, and devotion to your higher purpose. A number of books have been written on this subject, and we encourage further exploration.

The purpose of every class is to settle the mind. This is done through attention to the body and to the breath. Gentle Yoga classes are the best for stress reduction. They are slow-paced and focus on moving gently while paying attention to our breath. The poses and the deep breathing gently massage the body from the inside out, creating a peaceful mental and physical state that supports healing and a calm presence.

We recommend practicing three times a week, although some people come only occasionally, and others come every day. The more consistently that you practice, the more you will feel the benefits as you build strength, become more flexible, and learn techniques for stress reduction. So, come as often as you can. You will find that yoga is time well spent and will support you in all of your daily activities. This is especially so if you are stressed with too many things to do. Taking time for self-care is yoga.

An integral part of the path of yoga is to support and encourage a meditative mind state throughout your practice, and to give you skills to find more peace of mind throughout your life.
