Student Testimonial (guest blogger!)

ByAaron Fleming April 7, 2015April 7, 2015

In the winter I started Iyengar Yoga with Aaron Fleming at College Hill Yoga. Much to my surprise months later I am still attending 2x a week. The group classes are easy, informative and encouraging. Class participants cross all ages and have been great to meet. I have been given a lot of information, direction and support.

Aaron is very personable and manages to give each one of us individual attention in the group.

Now it is Spring! I can garden, rake leaves, take long walks, hike, ride bikes…I feel my muscles and body differently, nothing hurts.

I have begun a small daily practice in home.

This was unexpected.

Over the past month or so I have noticed a trend in potential students asking me to teach classes at a different time of day, on a different day or even in a different neighborhood. They are siting these three variables as a reason why they can’t come to one of the classes being currently…

Asana as fact finding mission

In the yoga sutras of Patanjali, yoga is defined as the cessation of the movements in the consciousness. There are five classifications of the movements in the consciousness, they are: correct knowledge, delusion, illusion, sleep and memory.

Practice survey results

ByAaron Fleming May 21, 2019May 21, 2019

Last week I published the Beginners and practitioners post. In that article I stated that in order to help beginner students become practitioners I need to first understand why people are not practicing on their own. What is standing in the way. I heard back from many of you. People sent emails or Facebook messages,…

Getting started

ByAaron Fleming April 24, 2015

In the 2nd chapter of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Patanjali states that in order to get started in your practice one should follow the path of Kriya Yoga. Kriya Yoga is the yoga of action and is comprised of three parts: Tapas (burning zeal / excitement), Svadhyaya (self-study) and Isvara Pranidhana (surrender of the…
