The meaning of “yoga” is union; the purpose is quieting the mind. Still upholding these traditional tenets, KanePaa cultivates self-exploration and integration, connecting the mind to body to spirit, each becoming stronger as a whole.
Stimulating imagination, reflection, catharsis, you will rediscover and appreciate your body in its entirety, weeding out years of insecurity and illusions spawned by a consumer society that cares more for numbers than for people. The same society that encourages disdain of our earthly bodies yet extols unrealistic standards of beauty.
Union entails embracing those parts of us that we have been conditioned to loathe, and loving ourselves again.
Let KanePaa take you through a dynamic and meditative journey into yourself, seeking integration between every little part of our body and your mind. A smooth and deliberate sequence of traditional and modified poses follow the breath to build strength, balance and flexibility.
The emphasis is not to perform the suggested poses perfectly, but to the point of gentle tension. The hope is that you notice the benefits of instruction long after you step off the mat both as far as physical well-being and the relationship you have with yourself.
KanePaa aspires to inspire you to become your own instructor, as you develop your own practice and embark on a lifetime journey into yoga, with KanePaa in your corner.
