elf

The Art of Zen Yoga is the creative synthesis of the gentle, flowing movements of Tai Chi, the energized breathing of Qigong, the deep relaxed stretching of Shanti Yoga, and the calm serenity of mindful meditation.

Zen Yoga is more than a set of physical exercises, it is a holistic system of well-being. Embodying the highest teachings and ancient practices of Taoism, Zen, Shamanism, the Five Elements, and the Eight Limbs of Yoga as guiding principles to cultivate balance, calm the mind, nourish the body and honor the spiritual nature that exists within each of us.

Zen Yoga develops the physical, mental and etheric energy body and provides vitality, flexibility, well-being, joy, health, and peace of mind, no matter what stage you are along your journey.

Zen Yoga can help you to incorporate simple exercises into your daily life in order to:

raise metabolism – relieve stress – help lose weight – maintain good health

Zen Crane

The Zen Crane is the original Zen Yoga Logo, created by Aaron Hoopes. In Japanese culture, the Crane is referred to as “bird of happiness” and in Chinese culture as “heavenly crane” believing they were symbols of wisdom. The powerful wings of the crane were believed to be able to convey souls up to paradise and to carry people to higher levels of spiritual enlightenment. Over time, the crane evolved into a favorite theme in the tradition of origami paper folding. It is said that a thousand folded cranes, one for each year of its life, makes a wish come true. In Taoism, the Red Crowned Crane is a symbol of longevity and immortality.
