Ocean Yoga Nova Scotia 2.63

The ocean is a metaphor for yoga. The waves on the surface of the water are always changing, just like the dimensions of our lives and the state of our being. Watching the waves roll in and out is similar to the feeling of paying attention to the breath when doing yoga poses. The sound that the breath makes during yoga reminds people of the ocean and the music of the waves and the wind. Tuning into the oceanic rhythm of the breath leads to deep states of concentration in yoga postures.

Yoga makes it possible explore beyond our exterior layers and reach the places where healing happens. Through yoga we are submerged into the experience of breath, movement and stillness. When we swim in the waters of yoga we look within and discover new ways of relating to the world. On the ocean floor is a landscape of mountains and valleys that can only be seen from below.
