Your Focus Determines Your Reality! Come Focus with Us

Ever feel you need a little more focus in your focus? Like you cannot seem to land your gaze to actually see what or who is before you? To see what is going on within you? Like your eyes are darting all over, taking in so much but seeing so little? If you're anything like me, you may run into this with some regularity.  Thank goodness for yoga... a practice, a moving meditation, anchored in intention & "drishti" in sanskrit or in plain ole' english, gaze. 

This week we will ground ourselves in our intention and bring awareness to the focus of our gaze. We will get curious about how easy or how challenging it may be to settle our eyes when we are challenged in our asana practice and in our daily lives. We will see how the quality of the mind is tied to the ability to focus our gaze, our breath. Our practice is our forever laboratory to learn more about the "self" to help us heal, grow & transform into our most whole, authentic self who is essential goodness, completely unstoppable & absolutely an incredible miracle!

Focus defined:
     noun- the center of interest or activity.
     verb- pay particular attention to.

Be sure to join us Wednesday to noun & verb focus in your practice. We will learn tools to bring more intentional focus to your focus day-to-day and then watch your life change before your eyes. As the saying goes... "what you focus on expands", so where do you choose to place focus?

See you soon!

Love, love, love,

Dana
