Levitate ……

………is a feeling of transcendence and euphoria. It is a feeling of surrendering and flowering. This happens in challenging postures when your ego fights to twist and contort. Instead of force, the use of your breath guides you to your limit. Once you surrender to this struggle, your body will relax and blossom. As you start to assimilate asanas with steadiness and ease, a light and joyful feeling washes over you. Your breath is controlled, your mind is still and your body is suspended in momentary bliss. The best feeling of all is after finishing a class. After a sweat drenched class of keeping your body from buckling under physical strain, you feel on top of the world! You leave behind all the stress that gets trapped and massage the physical knots that are deeply embedded in your body. You almost float away in rejuvenated exuberance!

……….is a heightened awareness of ourselves. Through regular practice, we begin to explore and analyze our reactions to different poses. Does a headstand cause fear? Is a downward dog comforting? Is a forward bend effortless? Is the breath shallow, smooth or non-existent? Do I test my limits or stay in my comfort zone? Can I quiet my mind? The intangible effects are in the subtle changes of the mind. You are lifted out of your normal thinking pattern. This awareness is the key to better handling stress and overcoming daily obstacles in this hectic city. Levitate provides a safe playground for you to cultivate and elevate your own awareness.
