Be Soft in Your Practice
Sheng-yen

"Be soft in your practice,
Think of it as a fine silvery
stream,
Not a raging waterfall.
Follow the stream,
Have faith in its course.
It will go its own way
Meandering here,
Trickling there.
It will find the grooves,
The cracks, the crevices.
Just follow it out of your sight.
It will take you.".

Suggestions to Build and Sustain your Yoga practice
 

Tao te Ching, aphorism 67,
Lao Tse, translated by Stephen Mitchell

Aphorism 67

Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.

I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

!Discover!: Posture Alignment Therapy for Health and Chronic Pain Relief: 
Give the body what it needs to heal and continue to serve you and your life!
Posture Alignment Therapy, based upon a functional approach to Yoga and movement as well as my training as  a Posture Alignment Specialist(PAS )
certified by Egoscue®, is an extraordinary non-medical therapeutic approach to pain relief and overall fitness. The work has developed over time and is unique in the
unrelenting focus on treating the whole body as a unit to restore proper alignment and function utilizing a unique synthesis of elements of Yoga,
therapeutic movement and functional exercise. As a consequence the work is not a quick fix, but rather a unique and complete approach
to generate balance and enhanced functional fitness to your life.

In an individual therapy program, specific functional exercise sequences are developed for each person based upon the posture and movement
patterns presented. These sequences are performed at home and are aimed at resolving specific postural imbalances that have been found to be the root cause of 
chronic and acute non medical muscular-skeletal pain. As proper alignment is restored the possibility of healing and enhanced overall comfort and ease
in your body unfolds.

The method is simple and accessible, powerful and effective.
