Yogi Spotlight - Sharon Fraser
It is with much gratitude that I write this. I have had the pleasure of practising Yoga with Dianne since she started her business four years ago. At our first introduction over the phone Dianne exuded confidence and an energy that was infectious.
We have had the privilege of encouraging each other over these past years as she has grown her business into the beautiful Eastside Yoga Studio and I have grown more fit mentally, physically and spiritually under her direction.
At 51 years of age it is quite a compliment when people ask, not how I stay slim, but why I look so fit. "Yoga," I reply with enthusiasm, knowing that no matter who I'm talking to, they can do it too. I love the fact that yoga can be practise with my daughter, sister, mother or grandmother. You don't have to be 'super' anything to do yoga. Everyone will benefit in some way.
One of the additional teachings of yoga is that you learn to deal with struggles 'on your mat' so you can better deal with struggles 'off your mat' and I am finding that I have an objective calmness that continues to increase with my practise. Also, as a Christian, yoga gives me an opportunity to reflect on my faith and helps me to center my life around it as well.
Thank you Dianne, for your integrity and stead-fastness. You are such a positive example and I look forward to many more years of practise.
Meaning of "Namasté"
Namasté is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the Indian subcontinent that expresses deep respect.
It is commonly used in India and Nepal by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists, and many continue to use this outside the Indian subcontinent.
In yoga, namasté is said to mean "The light in me honours the light in you," as spoken by both the yoga instructor and yoga students.
Taken literally, it means "I bow to you". The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): "to you".[1]
When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest.
The gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carry the same meaning.
