In a philosophical/spiritual sense it denotes the connection with the Higher Self and Awakening Self-awareness. This afternoon we will explore various aspects of ‘Yoga’.
Connection with the Body
Healthy mind, healthy body is a “new age” mantra. It is recognised that in a holistic model of well-being, paying attention to our physical body is very important. Good nourishing food, water, fresh air, exercise are all components of maintaining a healthy body. Our bodies are intelligent systems that benefit from the yogic connection with healthy thoughts and mind set.
Speaker : Clarke Peters

Peters credits his faith with keeping his feet firmly on the ground. “In this world of turmoil and unrest, I find peaceful meditation a tool to neutralise the negative.”
Connection with the Community
Every part of the physical body is working in Yoga or union with every other part. The body itself is a ‘community’ of various parts working in unison to maintain good health and equilibrium. Similarly, human beings living together, working towards a common, shared purpose makes the community cohesive.

Connection with the Self
On our spiritual journey we will grow and develop by learning to answer one question. WHO AM I? When meditating and practicing Yoga of the mind I am learning to know and connect with my true identity, ‘I am the Soul’.

Connection with the Higher Source
Connecting with the Higher Source is about practicing meditation. This Yoga connects us to our Spiritual Source, when we are still and silent, when we take our focus from the outer to the inner space. We are then able to easily access knowledge and wisdom.
