The Original Meditators
Well over 5000 years ago yogis developed profound methods of meditation that still find relevance today. More and more scientific research confirms what yogis have known for thousands of years: meditation increases feelings of well-being, centeredness and connectedness. As the demands of contemporary life create busier schedules with increasing demands on our time, we can all use some much needed relief. It is clear to all that the stress progressively builds on every aspect of who we are and the systematic stripping away of this plaque is what yogic techniques do most effectively. In meditation we use directed focus on aspects of the present moment (body, breath, mind, etc.). MORE

Group Therapy
I’ve never been much of a group-exercise sort of person, so the fact that I joined the Her Sports + Fitness monthly yoga class was huge. The idea of sweating and looking like a physical wreck in front of my tri-athletic co-workers was less than appealing, but as a newbie, I figured I should at least give it a try. MORE

Stress,
Yoga & Meditation from a Yoga Teachers perspective
A yoga teacher for many years, I have seen countless students arrive
in the studio completely depressed and unable to handle the stress
in their lives. They are ready for a change because they have let
stress become a priority in their lives. Stress itself, is neither
inherently good nor bad. Instead, how you perceive and react to
it determines how it will affect your health. MORE

Yoga/Rebirth
Yoga
is a 5000 year old system that was originally and singularly designed
to re-awaken the Self from the self. Many come to the ancient practice
of Yoga as a means for rebirth. Currently in the West there exists
a tremendous rebirth of yoga. This has mostly taken place in the
Hatha or physical (asana) part of the yoga practice. The asana practice
proves to be an ideal starting point for the yoga aspirant. The
body and its physical sensations are among the most tangible or
accessible parts of our selves. As challenging as the physical practice
can be, the real miracle of the practice begins when one turns inward
and finds the strength of self discovery, discipline and focus to
be reborn to a higher Self. MORE

News Article by Lara Turner
I
was a little apprehensive when I walked into the studio at St. Petersburg
Yoga. This was to be my first meditation class, and I had no idea
what to expect. It wasn’t long, however, before I noticed
the sense of calm in the room, and began to relax. With the help
of Jennifer Pierson, instructor, I was soon learning to focus on
my breathing and beginning to push away all other thoughts. MORE
