The Nature of Yoga
The soul that moves in the world of the senses and yet keeps the senses in harmony, finds rest in quietness. Living with mind and body relaxed is our natural state, our birthright. It is only the pace of our own lives that has made us forget. Those who retain the art, possess the key to good health, vitality and peace of mind. For relaxation is a tonic for the whole being, liberating vast resources of energy.
Helena
Helena Gorka has studied and taught Yoga for over 40 years. She brings a deep sense of harmony and relaxation to her classes. Helena’s main teaching influence comes from the Sivananda training she completed in the early 1970′s in Canada at the ashram of Swami Vishnudevananada. Since then she has incorporated the work of other teachers and brings to her classes her own individual style of both strength and nurture.
Classes and Private Sessions
Helena teaches yoga in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Tustin, CA.
Classes are small and are suitable for beginning to intermediate level students. Personal attention is given to individual needs. If you have always wanted to do yoga but were intimidated by studios, these classes may be what you are looking for. Classes end with a 15 minute relaxation, often with the added enjoyment of the sounds of the Tibetan bowls to assist deeper relaxation.
Private sessions are also available. Call Helena for information.
