“In this body, the mount Meru [the vertebral column] is surrounded by sev en islands; t here are riv ers, seas, mountains, fields; and lords of the fields too. There are in it seers and sages; all the stars and planets as well. There are sacred pilgrimages, shrines; and presiding deities of the shrines. The sun and moon, agents of creation and destruction, also move in it. Ether, air, fire, water and earth are also there. All the beings that exist in the three worlds are also to be found in the body; surrounding the Meru they are engaged in their respective functions. He who knows all this is a yogi; there is no doubt about it.”

WHAT MEANS MĀ
MEANINGFUL ĀLLEVIATING YOGA
MĀYOGA takes its name form the Sanskrit – Universal word MĀ. Is a common word used in various Indian languages as a term of endearment for mother. Its roots are in ancient Indian culture, where mothers were highly revered and respected. Mā or Mātṛ or Mātā is used for the divine mother or personified energies of the principal feminine deities.
Mother archetype is a provider of an environment that fosters love, support and growth. It represents the concept of the nurturing and caring unconditionally, as well as the power and wisdom of the divine feminine.
MĀYOGA, M for meaningful and Ā for alleviating, is a mothering practice, a way to take care of one’s Self in a caring, nurturing, loving way by creating the foundation to open – release.
“Yoga is a spiritual path above all, preserved by Adiyogi, then passed on to Parvati and subsequently to Gurus. Yoga’s essential purpose is psychological freedom and spiritual enlightenment, the revelation of the Self of the self. Yoga is a tradition of India’s indigenous people, an infinite spiritual heritage. Let’s respect it by knowing what we offer – transmit – teach and promote.”
I always look forward to Marilena’s classes because they are aligned with the seasons, energies and planetary influences. The classes are always beneficial both physically and spiritually and I always feel wonderful after each session. I love how we practice different techniques each time and how my mind, body and spirit is enlivened after each class.
~ Freda Yiannitsas
