“My intent is to allow yoga to cultivate awareness and deepen mastery of Self so I may reach my highest human potential as a co-creator with the divine. I began my study in yogic arts during the most emotionally challenging time of my life. It was the one thing I was doing that relieved my depression and sense of overwhelm, so I was in class four times a week as soon as discovered yoga. What I now realize is that yoga helped me to see the most essential and unchanging part of myself, which created the stability I needed to prosper. Through yoga, I experienced myself through my soul, not my senses. It is my belief that you can achieve this too.” Good luck! Good health and happiness to you! - Yogi Marlon |
