why yoga?

 

 

we love yoga -that's y.

yoga is necessary for everyone.
yoga applies to anyone.
you can be of any religion and still be a yogi or yogini.
yoga doesn't consume ones goal it makes ones goal possible.
yoga catalyzes greatness in everything you do.
-if you are a singer, your singing will naturally become full of heart,
-if you are a business executive , prepare to be a better role model for your aspirants,
-if you play soccer, welcome in your new game and ability.
yoga helps all us no matter what your background. 
- no, it doesn't matter what flexibility you currently have or not have!
wherever you are right now, spiritually, open yourself up to the greatness of the Creator within,
tomorrow will be a new day filled with amazing potential.
don't be held back by past fears, move forward toward the goal.
yoga is the key,
yoga is your guide,
come along for the ride,
and oh, before i forget,

don't look back!

For the corporation interested in classes taught by Christopher Baxter 
 
I'm having great success with my corporate clients!
1 free seminar is given to collect interest and support. Seminars are similar to my classes but taught in chairs so no one will need to change for it. Classes are for beginners and anyone with a yoga background is strongly encouraged to take a class -nothing like a yoga community at the work place!
If at least 10 people commit, stating that they want a yoga class, then immediately I'll take it up with the person of charge to set a date and time for the first class. 

Here's an example of my program,
An 8 week session,
8, 1 hour classes during the lunch hour or after work once a week for a total of 8 weeks.
Once a full 8 week session is complete, there is a choice of starting up a second session if enrollment is of least 10 participants.

What are you waiting for?
Come back to a healthy way of living.

Thanks for your business!

"Living in a very dusty corner of Chicago, what is now called "Wicker Park" in the Mid- 90's watching life go by through window gazing, fleeting jobs and beer drinking was enough to motivate me to seek change for the better. Strange enough, a car accident during a flower delivery on Lake Shore Drive opened a door of awareness inside my body -undiscovered. So began the curiosity.. 
I wanted to go deeper..
There was an epiphany,
and as if life itself took me by my hand..led Me the way to the followers of Yoga. 
 A year later, a saint disguised as a bum chummed up a conversation with me and showed me a book on the "el" 
-that book was The Bhagavad Gita." 
 
-Christopher Baxter

Practice without comparison. 
Practice with patience.

Lyrics to the "YOGA DANCE
by Rajarshi Muni 

O Saki! I am your guest:
I won't go anywhere, now this bar is my house (1)

I am an unknown drunkard, having no income;                                
I don't have any place to stay; now my mind is set on this place (2)

Serve me much wine that I may become care-free; Come on, fill the wine glass!
Don't give any excuses (3)

O, your wine-glass is royal and the wine is very old;  
I am a free willed drinker;
I am afraid that I may make a spectacle of myself(4) 

My heart is a loving one; I shall offer it to you as a gift.                               
I am a passionate lover; I know how to be sacrificed on the alter of love (5)


Rajarshi has narrated his heart's inner story;                           
The narrator is no doubt insane; Is the listener insane too?(6)
