“Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.” – Coreta Kent  The journey to self-awakening, the realization of how remarkably far you have come is an enlightening moment that fills our heart with hope. Often right after - I do it often - we immediately follow that up with depressing realizations of how heartbreakingly far there is yet to go.
This is not the moment to abandon hope, but to take stock of the amazing power of the present moment. There is so much power in the experience of the "NOW" -- the present moment -- that whole spiritual disciplines have been created solely to bring us into the "now." Practicing yoga is a powerful tool that sharpens our mind so that we can see reality clearly. It is more profound than a stretching routine that helps you get limber. In essence the yoga practice seeks to answer the question of what defines the present moment and help root your consciousness directly in it. Daily yoga practice demands that we remain observant and attentive while feeling your body. Presence in yoga is grounded in the reality of the body because the body doesn't lie or delude in the same way as the mind. When your body is engaged, it helps everything else come into a present sense of awareness. There’s a lot of neuroscience that supports this. Let's spend a little more time being present with the moment—present with yourself—and know to live each moment is to bask in the glory of life. ON DEMAND... Just a reminder...

“The medicine is in the mind,  Healing & restoration begins not only when we start gearing our thoughts towards it, but when our actions reflect those thoughts as well. The mind-body connection is profound.
Yoga has been around for thousands of years, and has been used to help people find peace, healing, and well-being in their lives. The postures (asanas) that we take are often symbolic of the feelings and messages we’d like to convey, whether that’s love, openness, courage, or something else. The mind, body, and spirit are all components that are central to holistic practice, because those three entities are what make up each person’s overall happiness, health, and well-being. By building the mind-body connection, the spirit can too become more intact with a person’s needs, wants, desires, and life purpose. Building these takes time, but yoga is an excellent place to begin. YOGA AT OHHHMMM VIRTUAL SCHEDULE: MONDAY: 1/10/2022

Pause to connect with yourself and remember you are already whole.
The journey of yoga is not about “fixing” ourselves, but rather one of reconnecting with our inherently exquisite selves — our wholeness. Practice setting intentions. A definition of intention is defined as “a determination to act in a certain way: resolve. What one intends to do or bring about.” But also as “a process or manner of healing of wounds.” This is at the heart of yoga and meditation practices; we are learning that we always have a choice about how we step into the moment. Pause to connect with yourself and remember you are already whole - grace, strength, joy and wholeness is always within. Set a tone for 2022... commit to intentions in your daily practice. And then, may you do it again and again…all year round. YELP REVIEWS... Yogis, we would love it if you can leave us a review on our official YELP page CLICK HERE. Been a member for awhile?

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.” – Eckhart Tolle  As we move into the new year, our mind inevitably fixates on some variation of goal-setting, intentions, a mantra for the year, planning, or reflection. The start of 2022 invites us both to reflect on the past and plan for the future. Strangely, we often forget to spend a little time on the most important of the three-time states: the present. The now. Getting into yoga mode.
Continue to cultivate an awareness of the moment, set strong foundations through your practice to the goal setting into the new year becomes attainable and highly achievable. It’s the actions chosen in each present moment that determine how the future unfolds. It’s your relationship to the past that determines how those present-moment actions get chosen. The present moment brings us peace, clarity, and stability. And it is only with peace, clarity, and stability that we can tolerate the power of our own potential. ON DEMAND...

Our mind is no longer chasing after something in the future or lingering somewhere in the past. We are content." — Birgitte Kristen  Many of my teachers speak about cultivating the qualities that nurture us. There are infinite qualities that exist within us—such as courageousness, empathy, creativity, anger, hurt, pain, excitement, jealousy, hope, peace, understanding—and each one may arise throughout the day.
Which qualities can you cultivate to find peace in our lives this holiday season; the qualities that allow us to be present and fully engaged in the moment. Cultivating, focusing on, to read about, to listen to, to observe, to foster those qualities of appreciation, gratitude, understanding, and compassion within us, allows our mind to be at peace. I am grateful to be teaching. I am grateful for all that Yoga has taught me, and is teaching me moment to moment. As a teacher, I'm always yearning for wisdom in order to articulate and be clear in conveying this tangible, yet not so tangible thing called yoga. As a person, we are always striving to be happy, to be content with who we are as a person. I am grateful for who I have become as a person. I have work to do—I am still working on relationships with others—but, so far, I like me. Many blessings to the yoga community. May we all grow together. DINA IS BACK...

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Practicing yoga is like being on a body holiday”  Slowing down is easier said than done. Our holiday schedule is filled to the brim with activities; work, school, cooking, cleaning, organizing and preparing to make the season a joyful experience for others… Most days are planned in advance and are busy. So when the pace changes, we have a natural hesitance to shift down a gear.
Taking a step back just for a moment, pausing to practice... can help you enjoy every minute of the holiday. Find a quiet space in the house where you can reset. Remind yourself of the things that are blessings for you on and off the yoga mat. Then remind yourself it doesn’t matter if things aren’t done perfectly; embrace falling out of a pose, be ok with where you meet your true self on the mat for that moment and bask in your yoga. Then we can remember to take a step back, slow down, enjoy the pace of gathering with friends and family, and be right there, in the moment, together. THE GIFT OF YOGA...

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ "An attitude of gratitude brings great things." -- Yogi Bhajan  The gratitude we embody during our yoga is mostly about our state of mind. It concerns making a conscious effort to incorporate thankfulness into lifestyle. This can be done in a variety of ways: through setting an intention at the beginning of the day, before you begin your practice, or as part of your meditation.
If we remind ourselves to be grateful for what we do have, we lose the negative impressions that often take up our head uninvited. By selecting a tone of thankfulness, that fear, sadness, anxiety, and even anger gets pushed aside and our gratitude makes room for strength, happiness, confidence, and peace. The term gratitude yoga is not limited to the mat. We all can demonstrate appreciation through all areas of our life. Let’s begin with the one day of the year that speaks to gratitude more than any other holiday out there,...Thanksgiving.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”  Introspection, self-study, also known as Svadhyaya, is a foundational practice of yoga. One of the most powerful things you can do is to know yourself -- to deeply reflect on your true essence and harness its power.
We all self-study when we practice asana (poses); we identify how we move our bodies in space, we adjust and react to our movements and breathing and create order through our ability to study - not judge. And being able to enhance our asana practice and develop a healthy condition into our body is to move with complete understanding which is achieved through study. But there are many other ways to practice Svadhyaya:
