What is Yoga?

It is usually defined as Union. The term yoga comes from the Sanskrit word "yug" which means to yoke or bind together. Yoga is Enlightenment. Yoga is the experience of bliss that lies beyond the whirlings of the mind. 
A comprehensive yoga practice uses the mind (meditation), the body (posture or asana), and the spirit (Bhakti) to shed the layers that stand between us and our Hearts - where knowledge and truth transform into wisdom and happiness. We don't do yoga. Yoga is the goal. We do practices that liberate the body and soul and may lead us to yoga.

“Polly Christy is not only my GURU, she intuitively knows what Yoga Therapy is needed and what body parts to focus on. Flowing with her in a private therapy session is honestly life altering. She genuinely cares about the therapeutic part of her practice and teaches so much during the practice, she flows with you and also focuses on you. “
— Maggie LeBlanc
“Best Yoga experience I have ever had. Yoga with Polly has been a vital and grounding part of my pregnancy. The private sessions we have allow for hands on adjustments and treatment that you don’t always get in a class. Polly makes the practice all about you and what your body needs that day, always reminding me of alternative poses, and keeping me and my baby safe. Her private sessions are truly a treat.“

Review of Polly's Class (Down Dog)

Having Polly as one of my main yoga teachers has been a heart opening experience. Her grace and strength of touch in the studio will take you farther than you have before in your practice. I had an In Class Private with her, and it deepened my practice in one class more than a months worth of asana.
— Banff Luther
“I like yoga better than the gym! It is the one place my mind stops.
Polly checks in and challenges me every week with a class designed specifically for me. My wife tells me I am more open minded and relaxed.”
