Karuna Arts Yoga:
Healthy Living in Olde Burien
by Anne Basco, ERYT-500,
Yoga Therapist
Regular yoga practice
heals. It starts on
the surface, takes hold,
then roots into the
deepest potentials of
your well being. There
is no fast, quick fix to
yoga, no short cuts--adding
excessive heat to your
yoga practice places
your system under stress--you’ll
need to commit
yourself to your own
greater good by
submitting to the slow,
warm simmer of your
attention.
How is your low back?
…your neck? …your
shoulder? ….your hip?
With regular yoga
practice and attention,
the nagging sites of
mischief--low back,
neck, shoulder, hip or
etc.-- thin and become
transparent.
There is no short
fast route with yoga.
You must take up the
seeds, prepare the soil,
nurture and trim the
growth trusting that
your most meaningful
purpose is at hand.
Since beginning my
practice in Physical
Therapy in 1986 and
having practiced and
taught yoga since 1995,
I have found that
consistency rooted in
deep awareness is the
source of healing. Each
turn, each twist on the
yoga mat served to
ground me through life
transitions and
strengthened me when the
“living was easy”. What
I’m saying is: you may
be struggling whether
you realize it or not
and yoga can heal, even
if all you seek is a
little relief from a
pain in the neck.
View your health as a
daily ritual. Eat to
sustain health more than
desire. Your body needs
rest and your body needs
activity. Get outdoors
for vigorous regular
walks, running or
cycling to support your
cardiovascular health
and your spirit in
nature, and keep yoga in
your life for the long
term.
