About Journey Through Life Yoga & Wellness

Journey Through Life Yoga and Wellness offers yoga and mindfulness practices to support your health and well-being as you travel the path through the different phases of your life.  Regardless of where your journey started or where you ultimately end up there will inevitably be times of change and transition in both your life circumstances and physical body. The challenge of coping and dealing with change and transition can often contribute to stress and compromise your physical and emotional health and overall sense of well being.

Yoga, meditation and breath work are tools that encourage and enhance self care.  They can help us develop an awareness of the relationship between the outer landscape of our physical body and the inner landscape of our thoughts and emotions.  Traditionally thought of as separate entities, there has been much research to suggest that our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and habits play an integral role in our physical health and vice-versa.  When we allow the inner and outer landscapes to inform each other this can lead to a greater sense of overall physical and emotional balance.

For individuals living with a medical condition such as cancer, chronic pain syndrome or arthritis, navigating each day can be even more challenging.  These practices are well suited to complement conventional medical treatments to improve physical function and enhance well being *

Our physical function, mood and outlook can improve by moving and engaging our bodies.   In practicing the physical poses of yoga we build strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination.  These, in turn, improve posture and mobility leading to increased vitality and greater physical confidence.

Engaging in breath and meditation practices helps to calm our minds and emotions, allowing us to be in the present moment.  This mindful awareness can build emotional resilience to help manage the stress and anxiety we inevitably encounter in our everyday lives.   When we are calm, things become clearer. We create an environment where the subtle whispers of our inner being - heart and soul - can be heard.

A  journey is simply traveling to one place from another.  When you plan a vacation destination, you likely invest time and energy into research and planning, right down to how efficiently you pack your suitcase.  The truth is, you travel to and from multiple times in your everyday life. Whether to and from the grocery store, across continents, through expected life stage journeys, or those you could never imagine nor would ever choose to traverse, you are well traveled.   

The question is, “How well do you travel?”

*Yoga and Mindfulness practices offered at Journey Through Life Yoga @ Wellness™ are not intended to nor should they be a replacement for any medical advice, intervention or therapy that has been prescribed by your healthcare provider.  You should inform your provider of your intention to begin a new or change an existing wellness/fitness practice.

Fei Wade is a young, Black female entrepreneur who’s on a wellness journey.

Wade is connecting her community to yoga while introducing them to her own drink: Calbucha Kombucha.

“I started my business because I was inspired to contribute to my community in a healthy way and I wanted to share a wellness practice,” she said.

A University of California, Berkeley graduate who holds an MBA from Texas A&M, Wade recently earned a yoga certification at College of the Desert where she was so inspired by the local landscape that she made it her brand’s artwork.

“The photo is from Mountain Center which is in the high desert,” she said. “It’s of the beautiful San Jacinto sunset and the mountains.”

While Black women like Wade are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the United States, according to a recent study by GoDaddy, they do face several unique challenges.

“It hits me in the heart, especially being in the valley and being a Black female,” said Mary Eden, coordinator of COD’s Black Student Success Center.  Eden says Wade is inspirational to her community and coeds.

“There’s not a lot of representation of Black females in the valley but being part of that it brings it out and lets everyone else know that there’s time for them as well,” she said. “They can do the same thing.”

From breaking down barriers on the yoga mat to the marketplace, Wade is continuing her wellness journey with hopes of creating up new opportunities for her community.

A Journey Into the Heart of Yoga

I n today's fast-paced, stress-fueled world, the ancient practice of yoga has become a popular antidote for those seeking balance, wellness, and spirituality. While Instagram-worthy yoga poses and trendy athleisure wear have brought this age-old discipline into the limelight, there is a deeper, more profound purpose to yoga that goes beyond the superficial layer of consumerism.

Let's peel back the layers of this timeless practice and discover the true purpose of yoga. We'll not only explore its origins and philosophy but also reveal how it can transform our lives by aligning the body, mind, and soul.

Yoga - More Than Just Physical Exercise

Yoga has its roots in ancient India, with the first written records dating back to the sacred texts of the Vedas. Although the physical postures, or asanas , have gained significant popularity in the West, the essence of yoga encompasses much more than just exercise.

The word " yoga " is derived from the Sanskrit root " yuj ," which means to unite, join, or bind. This union refers to the connection between the individual consciousness and the universal consciousness, ultimately leading to the realization of one's true nature.

In essence, yoga is a holistic practice that aims to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. It allows practitioners to experience their inherent wholeness.

The Eight Limbs of Yoga

The sage Patanjali, in his Yoga Sutras, outlines an eight-fold path called Ashtanga Yoga, which serves as a roadmap to self-realization and spiritual enlightenment.

These eight limbs are:

• Yama (ethical disciplines): The Yamas are the moral and ethical principles that help us cultivate a harmonious relationship with the external world. They include non-violence ( ahimsa ), truthfulness ( satya ), non-stealing ( asteya ), continence ( brahmacharya ), and non-covetousness ( aparigraha ).
• Niyama (observances): The Niyamas are the personal practices that promote self-discipline and inner purity. They include cleanliness ( shaucha ), contentment ( santosha ), austerity ( tapas ), self-study ( svadhyaya ), and surrender to a higher power ( Ishvara pranidhana ).
• Asana (postures): The physical practice of yoga, asanas help to develop strength, flexibility, and balance, while also purifying the body and preparing it for meditation.
• Pranayama (breath control): Pranayama is the practice of controlling the breath, which is believed to have a direct influence on the mind and emotions. It is an essential tool for cultivating mental clarity, focus, and inner peace.
• Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses): Pratyahara involves detaching from sensory input and external stimuli, allowing the practitioner to dive deeper into their inner world and cultivate self-awareness.
• Dharana (concentration): Dharana is the practice of cultivating single-pointed focus, which is necessary for developing the ability to meditate.
• Dhyana (meditation): Dhyana is the process of maintaining a continuous flow of awareness on a single object, leading to a state of profound inner tranquility and stillness.
• Samadhi (absorption): The ultimate goal of yoga, Samadhi is a state of complete absorption, where the individual consciousness merges with the universal consciousness. It is a state of ultimate peace, self-realization, and enlightenment.

The Transformative Power of Yoga for Modern Life

In an era marked by stress, constant stimulation, and the relentless pursuit of material wealth, yoga offers a path to inner peace, self-discovery, and a deeper connection with our true selves.

Let's explore how the practice of yoga can transform our lives:

• Cultivating mindfulness and self-awareness: By focusing on the breath and sensations in the body, yoga brings our attention to the present moment. This mindful awareness helps us become more attuned to our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
• Reducing stress and anxiety: The combination of physical postures, breath control, and meditation in yoga practice helps activate the relaxation response, reducing stress and anxiety levels. This, in turn, promotes mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
• Enhancing physical health: Regular yoga practice can improve strength, flexibility, and balance, while also promoting better posture, increased energy levels, and enhanced overall fitness.
• Emotional healing and self-acceptance: Yoga encourages the practitioner to approach their practice with compassion, non-judgment, and self-acceptance. This mindset, combined with the physical and emotional release offered by the practice, can facilitate emotional healing and personal growth.
• Spiritual growth and self-realization: Through the integration of ethical principles, self-discipline, and meditation, yoga provides a framework for spiritual growth and the realization of our true nature.

Embracing the Essence of Yoga in Our Everyday Lives

To fully reap the benefits of yoga and uncover its true purpose, we must go beyond merely practicing postures on the mat. Instead, we can integrate the principles of yoga into our daily lives, creating a holistic lifestyle that fosters balance, wellness, and personal growth.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Practice mindfulness: Cultivate present-moment awareness by engaging in daily meditation or simply bringing mindful attention to everyday activities like eating, walking, or even washing dishes.
• Live in alignment with yogic principles: Embrace the ethical disciplines ( Yamas ) and personal observances ( Niyamas ) as guiding principles for your actions and interactions with others.
• Nourish your body and mind: Adopt a balanced, wholesome diet and engage in regular exercise to maintain physical and mental health.
• Cultivate inner peace: Prioritize self-care and create a daily routine that includes relaxation, reflection, and stress reduction practices.
• Connect with like-minded individuals: Surround yourself with supportive and uplifting people who share your values and can help you grow on your spiritual journey.

The Importance of Personalizing Your Yoga Practice

Yoga is a deeply personal journey, and its true purpose can only be realized when we tailor our practice to suit our individual needs, preferences, and circumstances.

Here are a few tips for personalizing your yoga practice:

• Listen to your body: Pay attention to your body's cues and adapt your practice accordingly, focusing on what feels right and beneficial for you.
• Set intentions: Set clear intentions for your practice, whether it's to cultivate mental clarity, emotional healing, physical strength, or spiritual growth.
• Explore different styles: Experiment with various styles of yoga to find the one that resonates with you and supports your personal growth.
• Find a supportive teacher: Seek out a knowledgeable and compassionate yoga teacher who can help guide you on your journey and provide personalized guidance and support.
• Be patient: Yoga is a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth. Be patient with yourself and remember that the true purpose of yoga unfolds over time, as you continue to practice and evolve.

The true purpose of yoga lies in its capacity to transform our lives by uniting body, mind, and spirit. As we peel back the layers of this ancient practice, we can uncover its true essence and embrace its holistic approach to personal growth, well-being, and self-realization.

By integrating yoga's principles into our daily lives, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, inner peace, and spiritual awakening, ultimately realizing our full potential and leading lives that are deeply aligned with our true selves.

YogaSculpt is an invigorating blend of weight training and yoga, designed to strengthen and tone every major muscle group.  Small weights are incorporated in this class as you are guided through a fluid sequence of resistance training, basic yoga poses, and powerful toning exercises.  This intense, but easy-to-follow class will elevate your strength and flexibility to new heights, while tightening your upper body, core, glutes and legs.  

Modifications will be offered to all levels. yoga in newtown ct beginner yoga advanced yoga Bethel Brookfield

"Happy Hour" Rest & Restore

Restorative yoga is a passive, meditative form of yoga that allows you to focus on your breath while releasing tension in your body. Unlike other forms of yoga, restorative yoga requires you to hold asanas or poses for an extended length of time, typically 5 minutes or more. 

Restorative yoga often uses props like folded blankets, blocks, or bolsters. These props help support your body and allow you to deepen the pose and more fully relax your body. 

Restorative yoga is gentle and generally considered safe for most people.

Gentle Yoga

Morning Gentle Yoga is perfect for anyone looking to begin their day connecting breath and movement in a mindful way to help soften tight muscles, ease joint pain, connect the body and mind at a peaceful, slower pace. A perfect bridge between moving in flow and staying stationary.  This class is appropriate for beginners or anyone working with injury, limited mobility, or simply prefer a gentler approach to yoga.

All Levels Energetic Flow

This All levels Energetic/Vinyasa Flow session is designed to move negative energy through and out of the body, heart and mind, allowing positive energy to flow smoothly and freely throughout your life!

Modifications are offered so that everyone receives what they need to flow at their own personal pace! 

Let your breath guide you through this uplifting and relaxing Asana and enable you to "Let Go" of life's challenges and lead you to find your inner peace.

Candlelight Flow

Candlelight Flow is an active, flowing practice that emphasizes meditative, breath-led movement and encourages a strong inward focus. The practice ends with time for some yin or restorative poses, soothing postures held for longer periods of time, and finally an extended final relaxation, leaving you balanced and relaxed. yoga yoga in newtown ct beginner yoga advanced yoga

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is one of the most powerful ways to energize and revitalize all of the systems of your body, including the glandular, nervous and circulatory systems.  Most people think of yoga simply as stretching and postures to release stress and promote relaxation.  Kundalini Yoga, the original of the twenty-two schools of Yoga, combines these but also uses breath and meditation, often in sequential and aerobic exercises, to promote complete super-health, a union of your body, mind and spirit.

A typical class will include 15-20 minutes of warm up.  A Kriya (set of specific Asana’s or Postures), that will be anywhere from 15–30 minutes long, a 10-15 minute relaxation, and then a 10 – 15 minute meditation.  You do not need to be in any specific shape to experience a Kundalini Class.  If you can breathe, you can take a Kundalini Class!

All Levels Yoga

Come as you are! All Levels classes are suitable for beginners, masters and everyone in between. These classes offer modifications so that you can customize your class to fit your specific needs and level of expertise.

Building on the foundation of proper alignment, poses are linked together with the breath while building strength, stamina and flexibility. Designed to relieve stress, classes generally have a flow and rhythm to encourage the evolution of one's practice as moving meditation. 

The class will provide a challenging workout but can be modified for those seeking a gentler experience.

VINYASA is a flowing, dynamic yoga practice that cultivates presence by connecting movement with breath. Most classes feature several elements of traditional Ashtanga yoga— vigorous sun salutations, standing poses, preparation for arm balances & backbends, with focus on gaze point guided by a steady breath.

Work the connective tissues of your ligaments, joints and deep fascial networks in this meditative practice focused on deep stretching, breathing and relaxation. Props are used to support the body as postures are held for an extended time allowing for deep stretches that are soft, rather than muscle driven. 

Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to a regular practice of active asana.

The Flow style of Yoga, like all forms originated from Hatha Yoga. Using music to inspire, meditation to calm the mind; and smooth, conscious, breath directed movements to anchor the awareness, the practitioner is led from one pose into the next. The held postures are embodied with a moment to moment awareness of intelligent alignment. The breath, body and awareness become established in a deep, steady union. The movement between postures is a rhythmic transformation process that brings the qualities of one pose into the next. Through carefully balanced sequences, progressions and modifications, the practitioner becomes fully absorbed in a feeling of energized awareness, deepening our understanding of the Self. Subtle channels open, and begin to flow freely with vital life force energy, and we recognize our experience as a reflection of the greater rhythms and Flow of life and the universe. yoga in newtown ct beginner yoga advanced yoga

Zen Barre follows along the principles of barre, yoga, and Pilates with an emphasis on ballet and strength training. The class designed by The Zen Barre provides a challenging and unique workout designed to sculpt and strengthen your entire body as well as increase flexibility. This class will provide the ultimate workout using a combination of barre and Pilates moves connecting with the mind, body, spirit philosophies of yoga. yoga in newtown ct beginner yoga advanced yoga Brookfield Bethel

On an ordinary Wednesday on July 13, 2011, Kelley woke up to a new life as a widow at age 39, after learning that her 46 year old husband Don had gone into sudden cardiac arrest and died about one hour after arriving at work. Since that day, it has been Kelley's mission to help others survive and thrive through their losses, and to change the conversations we have as a society surrounding grief and loss.

Her very first yoga class was in 2005 that eventually brought her to Frog Pond Yoga Centre in Princeton where she received her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2011. Her second news of cancer came at age 48. She was very grateful and thankful to have yoga with her through treatment and recovery. She credits her practice not only for getting her through the rigors and side effects of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but also the emotional ups and downs of the disease. Because of her experience with cancer, Yee Leng is drawn to the therapeutic and healing aspects of yoga and meditation that are accessible to everyone. She believes that we all can come “home” to our bodies, in any condition; quietly listening to the wisdom within.

She loves being out in nature ( and learning from the natural world!), feels a true kinship with animals of all kinds. She reads, refers to and collects enough books to qualify it as a true addiction, and really loves meeting and getting to know new people! Phyllis is not a big fan of travel but her son, who lives in Australia , and her grandchildren , who are scattered throughout the USA have insured that she will see the world one way or the other because she definitely won’t miss out on their lives!

Mindful Daily Affirmations

Are you in pain? Do you have weird health issues and wonder if there are better options out there? Maybe more holistic options? We believe God created your body perfectly with an innate ability to heal, AND that we need support with that sometimes. We want to help support your body, naturally, and also know that there isn't a 'cure all' out there to completely heal all aspects of yourself. We dig into holistic paths to wellness that can support you in releasing pain, healing, and feeling great in this journey called life. During this journey, we ask that you trust your God given intuition to reach out where you may be felling called. You don't need to try every option- just try that ones that are standing out to you! We are here to have in depth chats about therapies that have worked for others, both from the professional and client aspects. Nothing is off the table, we may talk about very unconventional things. We ask you to keep an open mind and listen to people's stories- who knows, maybe it could help you too!

From Poetry to Psychology, This CNM Student is Determined to Help Others on Their Wellness Journey

Shakkri Ortega-Jackson knows a thing or two about perseverance. 

She was previously enrolled at CNM in 2011 and 2020 but had to take breaks to focus on her family. Now, after enrolling a third time, she’s just a few months away from graduating and couldn’t be more excited. 

“I’ve always wanted to learn more about people and how our brains work, which is why I decided to study Psychology when I came back to CNM in 2020,” she says. “After taking a much-needed break to care for my daughters during the COVID pandemic, I re-enrolled in the program last summer, and now I can’t believe I’m already in my final semester.”

Even though Shakkri has attended CNM at various times in her life, she says the one thing that has stayed consistent is the people. 

“I’ve had the unique opportunity to watch CNM grow over the years, and the individuals I have met along the way have been so influential,” she says. “I have taken lots of great classes, in psychology and other areas, and in each of those classes I have met amazing individuals that have shaped me into who I am today, and for that I am forever grateful.”

Along with her course work, Shakkri is also a student editor for CNM’s student-led literary and fine arts magazine, Leonardo . 

With the help of the Leonardo faculty advisor Jessica Mills, Shakkri was invited to perform some of her original poetry at CNM’s Black History Month Jazz Festival back in February.

“I don’t perform poetry all the time, but my childhood dream was to be a writer so I decided to take the leap when Jessica asked me if I would like to share my poetry at the event,” she explains. “It was definitely nerve wracking, but I also found it really powerful to be that vulnerable and I want to keep exploring performing as a form of self-expression.”

After she graduates in May, Shakkri plans to continue her education and ultimately wants to earn her doctorate in psychology. From there, she would like to open her own practice with a focus on movement therapy, like dance or yoga, to help others on their mental health journey. 

As she reflects on her time at CNM, Shakkri wants to encourage others to trust themselves and go after what they want. 

“If you’re thinking about going back to CNM, or just to school in general, my best piece of advice is to not second guess yourself,” she says. “Don’t let yourself get in the way of going after something that you love and are excited to pursue.”
