Lofthouse partnered with Charlotte Sessoms, a massage therapist
, to provide a unique healing environment for the Fayetteville, North
Carolina community. What began as a dream of providing yoga classes and
massage therapy to a small number of clients, has grown into a healing
arts center where a person can enjoy not only the unique abilities of
three talented massage therapists, meditation instruction, stress
management classes, and beginning this year, nutritional counseling.
All the healing modalities of Breathing Space meld together into a
wonderful gift to the community. A person may come seeking yoga and end up
taking a cooking class, getting a massage, or enjoying a workshop on
breathing techniques. The staff at Breathing Space feel that once you walk
in the door your needs will be met and if they are not, we will find a way
to meet those needs.
The Fayetteville community has embraced yoga at Breathing Space. The
classroom holds up to 10 students, and they may range in age from
teenagers to seniors. Most students come seeking development and
enrichment of body, mind, and spirit. Lisa Lofthouse and Evangelin Brodksy
are both 500-hour Kripalu yoga professional level instructors. Lisa came
to yoga from a business and fitness background and Evangelin found yoga
through dance. Therefore, even though they were trained at Kripalu, their
classes are unique and each brings her own life experiences into the yoga
classroom.
Kripalu yoga teaches that all you seek and all you need are within you.
Through various life experiences and the continued bombardment of external
stimulation, most people seek peace outside of themselves, through walks
in nature, going to the movies, reading books, etc. Through yoga, you
learn to bring your awareness inward, to notice how the body moves when it
breathes, how moving one arm or one wrist can be felt in the shoulder or
back. When you learn to dive into inner awareness, even if it is simply
noticing one breath, you learn to live in the present moment.
Kripalu yoga is a path of awareness, a path of inquiry into whom and what
you really are and all that you have to offer to life. When you begin to
bring your awareness to breath and movement, you begin to learn how
thoughts and emotions are held in the body. This holding of thoughts and
emotions creates tension and through the practice of postures and breath,
tension is released and a sense of ease comes into the body. When the body
is relaxed and at ease, the mind slows down creating a calmer, quieter
lifestyle. So what you learn in a yoga class can be taken off the mat and
into your everyday life.
When the body is put into various non-habitual movements and postures and
the mind is taught to breathe through these types of tensions and to stay
soft and centered, a habit of letting go and simply being develops and
this can be carried into every aspect of life.
Lisa and Evangelin believe that the more people come to yoga the closer we
will come to creating a more peaceful community right here in
Fayetteville, North Carolina. Each person who comes to Breathing Space and
is touched by the peace they find and has the ability to add peace and
harmony to our community. One posture at a time, one massage at a time,
one breath at a time can change the world.
