Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame.  Hello Yogis,
I'm a firm believer that once you start a dedicated yoga practice, your ability to be introspective and respond to stimulus that would irritate & get you to a maddening state is now met with a calmer approach and tactically, more fitting to living a life of less tension and diminishing extremes. Yoga is a light. And it radiates to others in how you communicate, you carry yourself and how you respond to situations. We need to share this light. Make sure you illuminate others and you invite people into your light instead of trying to hide that shine that is bright! The physical practice is surely a key in hooking you and reeling you in. The FEEL GOOD vibes and satisfying aura you develop when moving with control and breathing with composure is what keeps you coming back to your mat! Turn your flame into a raging fire that warms everyone you communicate with during these times of quarantine!

It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.  Hello Yogis,
I hope you are all well and find strength and spirit with the above quote. I love yoga! I love teaching yoga! I love seeing people grow on their mat. I love seeing the benefits of yoga manifest in people; from the initial physical benefits, to the spiritual and social emotional components that we all find due to the power of the practice. During this quarantine, we are all finding ways to combat the restlessness of the body; which is calmed through an asana practice (poses). The consciousness can now be directed inward to the soul, which lies beyond the senses and material awareness. We are all reaching higher levels of union (to Yoga) through moving meditation and controlling the body-bound senses. And when we practice with love and self-love, the transformative effects of the practice are overwhelmingly joyous. Take time to appreciate and taste the spiritual bliss you’ve worked so hard to cultivate.

Week #1: TRUST Week #2: COMMITMENT For this Week #3: INTENTION The YOGA is there for you! Set intentions to SHOW-UP and SHOW-UP! Set intentions to focus on the MOMENT. Set and intention to be playful on the mat! Set an intention to let the practice come to you, instead of trying to force yourself into a more uncomfortable situation. Set an intention to allow the mind to be more at rest during your asanas (POSES). Then can we see how that translates to our daily lives? Trusting your intentions and commit to your intentions!

This has been a difficult week, one that was filled with emotional highs and lows, and one that will be remembered for a very long time. What has driven me the last few days? The optimism of everyone who I have been in contact with, and the powerful resiliency everyone has approached this situation we are in. One thing that has been a saving grace? THE POWER OF YOGA! Our ability to bind in community and find order, transcending our yoga practice from our mat, into our daily lives. THIS IS WHY WE YOGA! Here's my schedule for the week: MONDAY (3/23/2020) **NO CLASSES** TUESDAY (3/24/2020) Vinyasa -- 7:00 AM Vinyasa -- 7:45 PM: (maybe broadcasted from a special location) WEDNESDAY (3/25/2020) Vinyasa -- 8:00 am Vinyasa -- 6:00 pm THURSDAY (3/26/2020) Vinyasa -- 5:00 pm Vinyasa -- 6:30 pm FRIDAY (3/27/2020) Vinyasa -- 7:00 am SATURDAY (3/28/2020) Vinyasa -- 1:00 pm SUNDAY (3/29/2020) Vinyasa -- 1:00 pm All classes are one hour!

Hello OHHHHMIES...
Due to the recent events, studios suspending classes and closing, I've taken my yoga classes to Zoom.us for LIVE streaming! I've been offering classes daily (AM sessions and PM offerings), trying to keep a sense of order since the events that have shaped the world we are currently living in. As I stated on Instagram (@CottoVic):
There's nothing routine about the happenings in the world and how are daily rituals have been interrupted, but keeping a regular learning, creative and structured schedule is a must. My online streaming LIVE classes will help us with structure, building forward-moving habits, and creating momentum that will carry you on the days when you feel like you don't have the strength to carry yourself. Following a daily routine can help you establish priorities, limit procrastination, keep track of goals, and even make you healthier. It lowers your reliance on willpower and motivation because, habits are
“action[s] that you take on a repeated basis with little or no required effort or thought." ​Having NO routine or structure is so much more draining mentally, physically, and emotionally than any routine could ever be! If you haven't become a subscriber to my daily yoga classes, direct message me here, or send me an email at: victor@yogawithvictor.com. We have aired glitch free for a few days, have facilitated community during this time of social distancing and have created UNION - to YOGA means to yolk, to come together, to bind... breath, body, mind, something more divine.
