Sound Body Yoga is a state of the art yoga practice that works on the premise that a sound body is a catalyst to a healthy mind and spirit. Dr. Freedom and Leela have founded this unique yoga practice which uses breath and sound as the energy source to strengthen, stretch, and balance the body. Using the ancient wisdom of his ancestors from India coupled with his western scientific training in Chiropractic, Dr Freedom has developed a safe and powerful yoga practice that naturally aligns the body, relaxes the mind, and rekindles the spirit.

WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga literally means "to unite with the self", or "become one". The root word of yoga is yuj, which means to yolk or go within the center. In the simplest terms, yoga is a practice uniting posture, thought, and breath for living in the present without suffering. There are 3 fundamental components in the journey of yoga:

Asana - the practice of static and dynamic postures to align and lengthen the body;

Prana - the practice of coordinating all body and mind activities with the breath;

Dhayana - the practice of focusing thoughts inward, awakening awareness and relaxing the mind.

Yoga is an ancient art which gives a wealth of knowledge on how to exercise the mind and body, to unlock the full human potential. Asana practice is one way to achieve this. The practice of asanas, challenges thought and breath patterns. Regular practice of yoga unites the body, mind, and breath in a synchronous flow. There are many other dimensions to the disciple of yoga, some of which include: spiritual undertakings, dietary rules, sound and mantra techniques, developing awareness of subtle energy levels, etc. All these practices are aimed at bringing consciousness to a state of contentment.

Yoga emphasizes the physical aspects of the body - asana and prana. Yoga is known as the mother of all physical exercises we know today. It encompasses: flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, conditioning, cardiovascular training, and mind-body fitness. Asanas influence the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and digestive systems. The systems in the body work in a harmonious unit where a change in one system manifests a complimentary change in all others.

Most of us are afraid of change and yoga is all about change. Change is the only consistent aspect of life. Asana practice, breathing, and meditation all unleash us from our conditioned patterns into the unknown self. As in her book, Parable of the Talents, Octavia Butler writes, "All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change."
