Motivational Yoga with Nancy Gerstein
Yoga Fuel for Life.
"Your yoga begins when you leave the classroom.
It’s how you relate to people and how you relate to the world.
Your yoga is the giving and receiving.
It's the wellness between the inner and outer worlds.
Your yoga is living the purpose of your life.
Your yoga is to spread peace one person at a time."
Motivational Yoga by Nancy Gerstein
About
Motivational Yoga
No matter what you need in your life, there’s a Motivational Yoga practice that will enrich and empower your decisions and results. Motivational Yoga, an intention-based practice delivers the inspiration, visualization, and dedication to live the best life you can. This isn’t sugar-coated yoga, this is a practice to face your fears, vulnerabilities, and inner enemies to reach your goals.
Live the Best Life You Can.
What you choose to do with your day and the choices you make can be significantly altered when you live in an active energy state. The energy that you’re feeling at any given moment, including now, is your current identity. This is who you are right now. By feeling better, you will live better.
Change Your Mood, Change Your Destiny.
The potential of the practice.
A yoga practice and commitment can be laborious, and at the same time serendipitous and full of excitement. It’s a curious adventure, a momentous discovery, and a quiet trip into our inner world all rolled into one. Each instant on the Motivational Yoga path holds the opportunity to feel spacious, connected, inspired, and so much more alive.
What do you want to do?
Who do you want to be?
What’s stopping you?
“Known is being comfortable and stagnant.
The unknown may be growth and opportunities.”
Tsem Rinpoche
