A key component for realizing the many benefits of a yogic practice is to practice every day. The focus of this 3-week morning series is to assist students in formulating individualized practices that will help them form a consistent regular home practice. You may attend as little or much of each one-hour class as you can fit in your schedule, but it is recommended that you attend as many of the classes as you possibly can. Previous yoga experience is not essential. This series will be taught by Brian. Class runs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and starts at 6:30 am on Feb. 20.
Cost is $55 for the entire series or $10 per walk-in. Monthly members pay $5 per session.

I always end my class with the OM, now and then a few people ask about it and why we do it, what it means. Rather than try to explain it myself, I am giving you a Wiki link and a reference. Enjoy reading….and don’t be so bashful when it’s time to chant our OM!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om
In the book Om Chanting and Meditation Amit Ray states:
“Om is not just a sound or vibration. It is not just a symbol. It is the entire cosmos, whatever we can see, touch, hear and feel. Moreover, it is all that is within our perception and all that is beyond our perception. It is the core of our very existence. If you think of Om only as a sound, a technique or a symbol of the Divine, you will miss it altogether. ….. Om is the mysterious cosmic energy that is the substratum of all the things and all the beings of the entire universe. It is an eternal song of the Divine. It is continuously resounding in silence on the background of everything that exists.”

http://www.ramalila.org/BuddhistQuestions/Om.html
“To best understand the ‘meaning’ of OM, simply sit meditatively and repeat the sound. Focus completely on the formation and pronunciation of the sound. Be aware of how you are before you begin; be aware of how you are when you have stopped. Proper pronunciation would include a long vowel portion with relatively short ‘m’: oooooooom. Pronounce slowly, softly, gently – but with energy.
In meditation practice, OM can be quite useful in clearing one’s awareness. Try chanting OM a few ( 3 or 7) times right before beginning to meditate. This can change the awareness field of your self and of your meditation space to assist with a clear meditation. Also you might focus on the chakra (an energy center) on the forehead between the eyebrows, and chant OM several times as a focus-on-the-chakra inspiration.
In intermediate practice, the mantra can be used to silently (or with audible sound, depending on the situation) to clear oneself of uncomfortable mental/emotional states through your day.
Even once can be helpful. OM (sometimes spelled in English as AUM) is not a word, but it is a sound (mantra) of the ancient language Sanskrit. Sanskrit was developed by highly evolved beings who created language wherein the sound invokes the awareness of the thing or state itself. OM is the sound which manifests awareness of all-that-is, the state of one’s mind/self in contact with enlightened or full-knowledge awareness. Another way to say this is that it invokes awareness from-beginning-to-end, alpha-omega. Interestingly, the proper pronunciation of the sound (in English) might best be expressed by ‘a-e-i-o-u-m’; that is, all the vowel sounds, generally considered the core of a language.”

Welcome to the House of Yin. Feel free to stop in at our spacious studio and visit us or walk-in for a yoga class. We welcome all ages and all levels of yoga practice for those in Huron, Sandusky, Milan, Norwalk, Vermilion and surrounding areas.
The House of Yin Yoga Studio is an alternative from many yoga studios in that it is run as a co-op. The studio is managed by a community of those who make the House of Yin their center of yogic practice. While we have not filed the “non-profit” paperwork with the state of Ohio, we certainly are not making a profit, all money generated from class fees is funneled into pay bills. Paying the rent and electric bill every month keep us well grounded to reality! Many yoga studios operate as a business, this studio does not. The philosophy of its founders, Brian and Jenn, meant this to be a open community type of space where anybody interested can gather for yoga practice and find peace in their lives.
Hope to see you soon. Our yoga studio is located at 607 Main St. Huron, OH. 44870 on the third floor.
Peace and Namaste to you all.
