P.B. Yoga and Healing Arts in Pacific Beach, San Diego
Welcome!
I would like to personally welcome you to PB Yoga and Healing Arts in Pacific Beach. Eight years ago I launched this yoga and healing arts center as a retreat from the busy world. With today's hectic schedules, we must remember to take time out for ourselves to re-center and balance our body and mind. Often we don't realize the stress that we are carrying around with us, which depletes our vital force. My goal is to help you create balance and harmony in your life as you re-connect with that which only sometimes seems to be separate.
We are among the few yoga centers that offer Svaroopa® Yoga. This is a remarkable style in that the main premise is, "support equals release". This is quite foreign to many of us here in the U.S. We live in a society that touts, "no pain, no gain". We are constantly striving to "do" more. Our teachers often remind the students, the less you do, the more the pose will do you. Come and experience what only your body can impart to your mind. It is impossible to explain a physical sensation accurately. Words can only point to that which transcends your body and mind.
PB Yoga is a gem within the neighborhood, as so many of our students and clients have already discovered. An oasis of healing for your body and mind. We are located at the North end of Pacific Beach, across from the French Gourmet. We have a wide variety of practitioners and therapists who offer healing bodywork which includes, Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Relaxation Massage, Pre-Natal Massage, and Lymphatic Drainage. Our skin care specialists offer regenerative treatments for the skin which include, Facials, Rejuvenation Peels, and Body Treatments. Our resident Doctor of Naturopathy is outstanding in his field. He works with your body's own natural ability to heal and through his technique called Pressure Point Therapy, you and he will come to understand your body better so that you can improve your overall health. We now have colon hydro-therapy, a method of cleansing the colon with state-of-the-art equipment that restores the body to maximum health in digesting and eliminating.
Come in and see (or feel) why we have become the most popular yoga and healing arts center in Pacific Beach.
Svaroopa® Yoga offers a doorway inside. We get to dip into our true nature, the nature of the Self which is BLISS. Our external awareness is drawn toward the internal state. We gravitate to that place that sometimes only seems separate. Come dive into the ocean of bliss as we move into the postures that allow access into a deeper realm and ultimately a deeper awareness and release throughout the body and mind.
Svaroopa® Yoga invites us to welcome the art of "being" as opposed to "doing". In fact, the poses that offer the most release, require minimal effort. I suppose you could say I'm a minimalist. I like to expend the least amount of energy and derive the maximum benefits. For the last several decades we have explored every possible means of propelling our bodies over land, air, and water in pursuit of better health or at least "looking" fit. Looks may be deceiving and there are those among us that are willing to admit the inside doesn't quite match the outside. I for one, love to work out and for several decades my body didn't put up too much of a fuss. In recent years, it has come to my attention that my body and mind are both rebelling and asking for equal time in relaxation to restore and rejuvenate.
Patanjali, (often referred to as the father of yoga) addressed this dilemma thousands of years ago. In effect, he said, all pain that is to come, can and should be avoided. In other words, there are levels of tension in your body (and mind) if left unattended, eventually will translate into tangible pain that refuses to be ignored. If you don't go in looking for this tension, eventually it will find you. This style of yoga allows me as a teacher to share yoga in a way that approaches each student's individual needs. Everyone is welcome to (dive) or drop in.
