What is Yoga?

Do you know?

Or, do you think you know? Really?

Pause a moment. Take a breath. Listen to it! Feel it! Be aware of it.

That’s yoga! That’s awareness. Well, that’s the beginning of yoga. It starts with awareness… awareness of the breath/life/life-force, of your body… of the mind, of your feelings and emotions.

It’s a journey through practices physical, mental, breathing, moving and stillness, and more. A more that continues towards more clarity and enlightened awareness.

Sitting Bull

“Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others.

His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.” – Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake

Yogi Peter Calin’s Personal Journey

In my 50’s a transformation began with the simple intent to ‘re-invent myself.’ Yoga was not, however, the intended medium or horizon. Intuitively, I was drawn in, and an awakening occurred and then healing manifested itself.

I saw before me the subtle, pervasive intuition and intent to journey down a path that would later start the [w]holistic transformation and unification of mind, body and soul and my inner light. The thought and desire had always been there… but in every prior chapter of my life it had been momentarily interrupted by what I later came to realize was my own arrested development.

After I found peace and experienced yoga’s healing power (my stressed mind, my hips, my knees, my back, my prostate), I chose to endeavor to help others find that healing and peace. I do this through a [w]holistic, mindful and therapeutic practice that focuses on awareness and re-alignment of the mind, heart, body and soul/energy, as well as, the reunification of the whole of your being.

Healthier, Flexible, Balanced

Peter’s generosity in teaching has made a huge difference in our lives. Both Michael and I feel healthier, more flexible and balanced. I am convinced Michael survived the impact of the car crash last fall without pain because of it.

On another note – we love coming to the park every Sunday and seeing the smiling crowd. Geri is such a lovely presence. I feel you teach intuitively though it is obvious as the classes are changing that you are in constant study with your practice in constant development. It is such a pleasure to work the yoga with you and to glean from your brilliant mind the gems we need to face the chaos of our daily routines.

You are excellent. I mean that – really. – – Tilly

Awareness over Anger

Hello Teacher, since, the retreat I have had some time to reflect on all of our teachings. Though, my circumstances have not gotten any easier. My response to them has. I . . . am coming to an awareness that everything in my life has or is happening to either teach me a lesson or due to my reluctance to surrender myself to acceptance and allowing things to just be. Holding on to ideas or behaviors which do not serve me.

Anger, vengeance, violence, selfishness, shame, defiance has been at the core of all that I do not wish for in my life. Awareness of myself, my thoughts and my behaviors have been the lesson . . . The antidote to healing myself, my sons and my past is love. Self love exactly and then love for others. But, it has been difficult for me to accept that I am worthy of love. This is where awareness of my thoughts, judgments, and actions come in place. In order to grow, become a better father to my sons, friend and stop the chaos with . . . I must use acceptance, patience, and love as my new weapons. – – Alex

Cancer

I am a survivor of an advanced cancer, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I, also, survived a serious vascular obstruction of the main artery in my left leg. After a long and complicated surgical procedure, the surgeons managed to save my leg. Diagnosed with anxiety status since I was 17 years old, I was always stressed and overweight.

Now, two years later, working with Peter and at 69 years of age, my health is good. I lost 25 lbs. I’m much more flexible and calm. I have anxiety under control.

I also have a lot of “awareness” of the healing power of correct breathing combined with “meditation.” Peter has “alerted” me to the wonder that is our body and its self-healing power if we help it with exercises, deep breathing, and meditation. All my medical and laboratory tests are great. I feel physically and mentally in excellent condition. The results in just two years of yoga practice are amazing! And to think that this is only the beginning! – – Rolando
