Om Shanthi. Shanthi. Shanthi.


I have a new love in my life.....YOGA! I have taken Yoga before - however this class was different - it was very soulful and rythmic - and very centering....I have always wondered why yoga instructors say "namaste" after leading a yoga class...well here is the reason..

Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. "Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te" means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow me you" or "I bow to you."

Namaste...
