Inspire your Soul
Spark your soul’s awakening by igniting your inner spiritual fire during this uplifting two-hour Vinyasa flow class. Vinyasa is the movement of the body and the breath together in order to balance the nervous system and bring about mental tranquility. The body-breath movement generates heat, which is then used to burn away impurities that hinder the movement of energy in and through the body. Once the nervous system is calm, the senses become calm and the mind follows. The senses should then merge inward focusing on the opening or shift of energetic direction. This is called pratyahara. The mind follows the senses inward and withdraws from objects of desire outside the body, which can cause suffering if we are too attached.
Real one-pointed concentration can then be achieved, which allows for meditation. Meditation cannot begin until the mind is tranquil. If the mind remains disturbed or distracted seated meditation will be hindered. This unbelievably fun class will leave you feeling open and alive!
About John
John was raised learning about yoga at home. His true interest came about the age of 22, where he was taught the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system by his step-father, Dave Oliver. Having an athletic background, as a wrestler and weight lifter, John knows it takes discipline and determination to realize one’s Self and potential. Having traveled to India to study Ashtanga Yoga, John has a refreshing outlook between old-world tradition and new-world inspiration. His classes focus on deepening the student’s attention internally, while staying grounded to true experience as it unfolds. His understanding of yoga and the Sanskrit language are an amazing example of the great knowledge he has at such a young age. His current teaching residence is in Scottsdale with the At One Yoga studios. Some of John’s teachers include Tim Miller, Dave Oliver, Rod Stryker, and Lino Miele. Also, Matthew Sweeney, Darren Rhodes, Dharma Mittra, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Ragaswamy, and Anthony “Prem” Carlisi. John also has a B.A. in Theatre from ASU.
