Dharma-rooted Yoga

(May 3, 2026)

​

Hello, fellow yoga practitioners! How are you doing?

​

After long, rainy months this year, Hawaii finally reached the season when the trade winds from the ocean feel pleasant on our cheeks.

​

Even those who tended to stay indoors during the rainy season now naturally feel the urge to experience the breeze.

 

As outdoor activities increase in May, I’d like us to revisit the foundation of our yoga classes’ goal—“extending healthy life expectancy”—which is “building a body that doesn’t fall easily.”

​

Flexible fascia and strong muscles, the sense of balance that allows us to stand firmly grounded on the ground or floor using three points on the soles of our feet, a strong core, and proprioception—the ability to sense our body’s position and speed of movement instantly—these are all things we can enhance through our yoga practice.

​

This month, we’d like to focus on these functions and senses that we humans possess and refine them through fascia warm-ups and asana practice.

​

Shall we start by exploring the relationship between fascia and muscles, and briefly touch on the brain?
