Episode 824 - Sensei Aaron Hoopes

Sensei Aaron Hoopes is a Martial Arts practitioner and chief instructor at Dragon Mountain Kung Fu School.

Kids need to be out outside, they need to have their feet on the ground. And then teach them whatever they can do to move and stretch and breathe. I mean, it's sad that we have to even introduce that to our kids…

겨울 다이어트를 성공하는 핵심 중 하나는 사진찍기!! 라고 말씀드리는 젠요가 입니다. 보통 매일 요가 및 운동을 하면서 거울을 통해 보게되는 나의 모습이라던지, 매일 체크하는 몸무게는 사실 변화한 자신의 몸매라인을 알게하기에는 어려운 부분입니다. 2~3개월 겨울 및 방학동안 요가와 운동, 식이조절에 도전하신다면 더도말고 일주일에 한장씩 같은 자세로 전신 사진을 찍어 객관적인 본인을 평가해보세요~ 그렇다면 차후 실패든/성공이든 확실한 결과를 체감하실수 있을테니 말이죠^^ -by zenyoga-

There are times when the answer is not hitting pads, sparring or drilling. As a coach I need to recognize that my athletes carry the weight of their lives outside of the gym and the ring. It is at these times I sometimes sense it is the spirit and the heart that needs training. That the breath must take charge and guide the continuum of mind and body which are indivisible .It is this nurturing of oneness and balance that must take precedence over any other form. The sound of ones own breath and the rhythm of ones own heart is the soothing balm needed to bring back the fighting spirit that at times loses purchase in this reality we live in. With discipline which has no emotion and needs no friends nor fanfare we set the body, the mind and heart back into synergy . Opening the hips , releasing the spine and encouraging the breath brings us closer to the divine and heals the wounds we carry. #zenyoga #zenmind #breathwork #diaphramaticbreathing #zen #stretching #yoga #yogamind #asana #posture #infinity #mindbodysoul #muaythailife #ontariotopteambrazilianjiujitsuandmuaythai #wayofthewarrior #makkoho #zenlife #yogalife #stretchforlife (at Global Martial Arts Academy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0w5Sl3ncH3/?igshid=pmd4pnrgvcb2

Heyy Guys Iam having my First Speaking Seminar on 5 Feb, Wednesday from 6.30 PM to 9 PM in my Society Hall.

This is Something I have learnt after investing about 1.5 Lakhs and about 3 Years on my Personal Development. From Doing Inner Enginnering with Sadhguru to living in Iskcon for 3 Months, or be it Learning NLP, Tarot, Angels and Reiki Healing or Be it ZenYoga or being Personally Mentored by some of the greatest businessmen of our time like Dr Amit Maheshwari who's personal Net Worth is more than 200 Cr. Or Mr Anurag Aggarwal who is not just a Businessmen but also a Public Speaking Trainer or my NLP Coach Mr Nitin Mohan Lal. I have been really grateful and feel like a blessed Child of God to meet and experience such beautiful Things. This 5 Step Method is Created by my Learnings from all my Mentors and all the people who have helped me in this Journey.

So this is my small Start in this Direction and I hope I will get support from all of you Guys and I would be really grateful for that.

And I can assure You this You are going to have a Great Time. Moreover, This is my First event so I just need Support from you Guys to make it a sucess and Hopefully we Will keep making It better and Bigger as the time Passes.
