Numinosity Wellness

Dear Yogis and Yoginis,

Come beat the winter blues and grays and find your heart’s joy in the movement and practice of yoga.

Whether you want to work at a gentle pace or develop a balance of strength, at it’s essence it is the practice of yoga. It is the practice of moving our bodies with awareness, conscious breathing and connecting to that part of ourselves that is wisdom.

As the yoga sutra instructs, learning to move, act, speak and breathe from the wisdom within the heart is ananda – endless joy.
No matter the weather!

A Big change is made of many small changes. Begin the practice of yoga today and the tomorrow you long for will unfold even brighter than you may be able to imagine today.
