Welcome to Yoga2You.
Our goal is to make the healing wonders of yoga simply more accessible.
In the words of Swami Vishnu-Devananda, “Health is wealth. Peace of mind is happiness. Yoga shows the way.”
The essence of yoga is its kindness—like the kindness of a mother’s loving touch, yoga is kind to the body and the mind.
Often times people have a perception of yoga that it is mystical, or that you have to mystical or be able to wrap your body into odd pretzel-like shapes in order to be “good” at it. And with all honesty, if you develop a regular yoga practice, it is likely both of those experiences may come, but this is not the essence of yoga.
Yoga truly begins with being mindful of the breath and the body, and finding the deep inner connection between the two. This sounds so basic that you might be inclined to gloss over it as you read it, but don't—because it is so essential. My experience as a yoga teacher shows me that this is something we need to be reminded of over and over again.
My teaching name is Saraswati, and I am the owner of Yoga2You and the vocal artist on the Stress Relief recordings. Originally from Chicago, I moved to Hollywood, Florida in the early nineties, taking a job with one of South Florida's growing cellular companies. I was one of the first five mobile office workers in Broward County who were hired to walk-the-talk, helping to bring cellular use from specialized applications into the mainstream. Part of an outside direct sales force, I delivered thousands of cellular phones. For many South Floridians, I implemented their first cellular phones. I used, delivered and promoted the very first Blackberries on the market as well as prehistoric Blackberries like Simon.
It worries me now when I see people who are so wrapped up in techie devices they don't seem aware of anything going on around them. There is a difference between convenience and getting "hooked" on a technology that is positioned to be seductively addicting.
During those cellular years, I used an average of 3,000 minutes and 3,000 miles per month. So I know what it is like to be crazy-busy, to be a whirlwind of activity, driven by demands and performance objectives. I won awards and bonuses, but my spirit suffered. Yoga found me next door to where I live, and whenever I made the time to breathe and relax in a yoga class, I felt restored, renewed, blessed.
These days I manage to get by without actually owning a cell phone and I really don't want a wireless modem in my house. Having worked in the industry, I worry about people I know who are overly obsessed with their mobile technology—cellphones, iPhones, Blackberrys and such. Who have been hooked by the pusher-man. Really. You may not want to hear this, but it is actually a part of cellular marketing strategies to get consumers to increase units or usage or both, golden rings for hungry sales teams.
Like any good drug use, be strong enough to set limits: in other words let the technologies serve you, and don't become enslaved to the devices (or sucker to the strategies).
I like to say that I am in a different type of cellular business now :-)
What I mean by that is that so much healing can occur on the cellular level within our own bodies by learning some basic Yoga teachings and techniques. The benefits from taking the time to breathe deeply and relax, even for 10 Minutes, are so far reaching. Download Yoga2You's Stress Relief Digital Bonus Edition—it costs less than $10 and takes as little as ten minutes. It will do much more for you than your cellphone, iPod or Blackberry are capable of combined. The healing benefits alone could actually save your life. For more information, click here.
Everything on this site is intended to make yoga more accessible, to help you find that deep inner peace, that deep inner connection, over and over again, as well as to offer resources and products that will help you to learn more about yoga and those pretzel shapes, and everything that goes with them.
from the divinity within me to the divinity within you, namaste.
