Achieve Your Full Potential with blu Rose Yoga

Over time, asymmetries develop in the body; these may be a result of habitual patterns, poor diet and nutrition, injury, or illness.  These asymmetries can be seen or unseen and may or may not be felt.  

Through targeted movements, these compensatory patterns can be readjusted to bring the skeletal and musculature bodies back in balance. 

During our initial consultation, a biomechanical, a postural, and a breathing assessment will be taken. This information aids me in determining the specific areas of the body where I should start working.

At this level, we begin to take a deeper dive into your physiological conditions past and present, current health challenges, and a detailed look at your circadian rhythms and lifestyle. 

By applying Ayurvedic principles, including the Ayurvedic pulse, breathwork, and lifestyle adjustments, another layer is added to the movement practice.

Ayurveda classifies the mind as an inner organ, so during this phase, we assess your state of mind just like we'd assess the body. At this point, we observe your emotions and thought patterns before evaluating how the past and present have shaped who you are today. 

The mind has a powerful influence over the body. By employing techniques to maintain control of our thoughts, we gain the ability to correctly perceive, understand, and make better decisions. 

Common practices used in this layer include somatic movement, breath work, mindfulness, visualizations, and meditation.

The fourth layer relates to our higher intellect; you can consider it the ‘blueprint’ of who you are. Your past influences your current attitudes, beliefs, and how you experience the world in real-time. 

During this layer, we progressively move through the Yamas and Niyamas, which are Yogic ethical guidelines that help to purify the mind and the body. Oftentimes, meditation is the practice of choice during this phase.

This is the subtlest of the five layers, and it is also the most personal. It allows for deep exploration of our highest potential. 

 During the fifth layer you'll identify and evaluate what inspires you to achieve your goals, and how do you change your behaviors to reach this higher state. Some of us are inspired by people past or present, by scripture, by nature, or by emotional gestures such as kindness and compassion. We start to seek relationships with people who inspire us, bring out the best in us, people who share the same ideas as we do. Practices here include creating rituals, devotion, and prayer; chanting; using mantras; yoga nidra (a deep state of meditation); and spiritual learning. It is here that we assess our state of the mind just like the body; we look to find balance here through practice. Those practices may involve somatic movement, breath work, mindfulness, visualizations, and meditation.
