Shanti Mission ~ Vision Groups Website

The word 'Yoga' means 'To Yoke' or 'To Join' and it is commonly intepreted as physical postures (asana) done to stretch and strengthen the body.  But yoga is so much more then just physical exercise.  It is a holistic spiritual practice which helps a person connect again with their body, their breath (prana/energy), their mind, their spirit and eventually their divine essence within. 
 
It's time for Yoga to move into the modern age and become part of the fibre of our society.  Yoga is the perfect practice to help a person on their way to find inner peace, as the only way we can bring peace to the world is by first finding the peace inside ourselves.  Through a regular yoga practice, the stress and anxiety from our hectic schedules can be elevated and eliminated altogether if the being is willing to dedicate time to their practice.  The discipline of yoga is 'self-love' as when you learn to love, care and nurture yourself each day, you are not only healing and honouring yourself, but you are also honouring God.
 
The vision of the Yoga Group is to re-advertise yoga as the joyous and uplifting practice that it is.  It is a wonderful practice for everyone as there is a type of yoga suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.  We plan to have Yoga Centres all over the world which offer various types of yoga including general Hatha classes and Kundalini Yoga.  These Yoga Centres will have a strong spiritual focus to help the members of our society reconnect with their soul and God. 
 
If you are interested in yoga and wish to join the Yoga Vision Group, please contact Ginny at ginny__@hotmail.com.  Our group plans to get together at least once a month to simply talk about yoga, share our experiences, and teach yoga from our different perspectives.  As we share with each other the beauty of yoga, true yoga - union - will occur.

With much love,
 
Namaste, Ginny Ebbeck
