- Aimee shares her personal journey and its central influence, yoga. She will introduce the audience to the philosophy behind yoga and emphasize how yoga is gaining mass appeal not by strengthening its students physically, but spiritually.

yoga the greatest thing happened in my life.. Now I'm in the midst of my teacher yoga training in three mos I become a professional yoga teacher.... My body full of bliss and ecstacy all the time... its my lifetime journey that no one could ever take away it from me.
It should be compulsory in all schools to start the day with Yoga, and end in Meditation. It would solve a lot of problems
Absolutely.
I have really wanted to do this in my classes, but I am nervous that I would be accused of teaching a specific "religion" or "philosophy" in my public school. Not only that, the younger students have a difficult time sitting still! LOL.
The great Hindu poet and playwright, Rabindranath Tagore did exactly that. He had a school with the children practiced meditation, had outdoor classes, a lot of creative arts...
in india we tried to make yoga a compulsory health practice but muslims were like hindus are imposing their religion on us so we had to cancel it althogh 80% indians are hindus and 6% other dharmic relgions like sikh,jain,buddist and they all believe in yoga and meditation
You are so inspirational! I had a similar story! It was dance that gave me the willingness to live but I am still struggling with self- acceptance! Until recently when I realised that yoga has this transformational power and listening to you today something was awakened! Thank you so much!
Wow. PHENOMENAL. Aimee packs so much heart, transperancy, knowledge and passion into a short 10 mins. Incredible perspective/inspiration to understand what narrative we are choosing for ourselves.
I have lived most of my life as my own worst enemy.I have been diagnosed with with bipolar 1,CPTSD,ADHD,panic attacks,and a dissociative disorder as well as developing epilepsy in my 20s as a result of my drug use.I am now 46,seizure free,and am happier and healthier than I have ever been!I eat a whole food diet(fruits,veggies,whole grains,limited fish and dairy,and no processed foods,meat,or sugar).I exercise every day,I meditate,do yoga,stopped watching the news and limit my screen time.More importantly though I began to develop true compassion for myself and stopped fighting against myself.The mind/body knows how to heal itself,I just had to get out of my own way!
This is a good presentation of the true yoga teachings. Go girl.
science of self
that was boring and totally worthless
😂
Yoga is a scared union with the divine like no other, resulting in the most inner peace as you practice daily with discipline.
Awesome. And I loved how Aimee explained why we "forget" that we are One with the Divine. This is something that I've been wondering, but the way she explained it made an incredible amount of sense. Beautiful talk :)
+Dana Tracy Yes, and the experiential forgetting that we are One with The Infinite One, allows us to experientially remember that we are One. That experience is a feeling of the highest bliss and theexperience of perfect love. The full awareness/experience of Oneness is the ultimate goal of meditation and yoga. In that experience there is no consciousness of separation. You experience yourself as The One/The Divine without losing awareness of the individuated aspect of you. Some call it Samadhi.
This is wonderful. Very thankful to Aimee for sharing the insights!
"When we start paying attention to the services we receive, stop and really see the person who is doing it and take the time to say thank you, our entire day will change."
Your body language matches your enthusiasm perfectly, you are an amazing speaker. Yoga combined with really good nutrition is the way forward. Eat healthy for your body and using the spiritual side of yoga, meditation and practice helps in every way of life. But you do have to eat really well.
Love this so much! Such beautiful said xoxox Thank you Aimee, very moving.
add some transcendental meditation for even more insight and higher consciousness - awesome talk!
The health benefits of regular yoga practice may include lowering blood pressure, improved posture and circulation, and a sense of wellbeing. Also brahmi capsule can be added to daily regime with exercise for calming you mind and body.
Excellent .Wish they could have shown the Power point pictures .
"The real purpose for practicing yoga is to realize that I am not this body. I want eternal happiness, complete knowledge, and eternal life-that is the ultimate end of the true yoga system." Hare KRSNA.
Really well done. Could not but help pay close attention to your talk. Well explained.
Ashtanga Yoga
Today YOGA is been tuned to the present world of material, and differing with the meaning of the word YOGA and fighting for it, nobody is worried about the bhavartha, in today's language YOGA can be said as evolution and feel how we have got evolved.
yoga means union.i.e. union of inner consciousness(atman) to the cosmic/universal/supreme consciousness(Brahman)
what she said is also a correct perspective
Hi Aimee. When you said NO that the decision made ( you will be in and out of a mental institution) was it a spontaneous or a sudden wake up call / realization ? . In any event I am glad for you that in doing so you are now fully capable of helping others. THANK YOU. Peter Prasad Ontario Canada.
🙏🏻

I like this talk :D
curry asana is the best.
You are a matured person.
Yog = Union (Sanskrit)
shekhar macharla It is yog. Yoga is a misappropriated term like many other Sanskrit words.
+AnimatedV
Yoga-Sanskrit
Yog-Hindi
both mean the same
union of inner consciousness to the universal consciousness.
YOGA is the CORRECT WORD --YOG is a CORRUPTED WORD
SEKHAR--ANIMATEDV--CAT MAN - RAUT =>
This Lady is telling ALL LIES ABOUT YOGA --being HINDUS why don't you people CONTEST her with REFERENCES from THE scriptures AND present correct information ? =>
(1) BHAGAVAT GITA --(2) KATHA UPANISHAD (3) SVETASVATAARA UPANISHAD --(5) MAANDOOKYA UPANISHAD (5) TAITTTRIYA UPANISHAD ( 6) YOGA PAADHANJALAM (7) YOGA SVAATHMAARAAMAM ( 8) YOGA VAASISTAM ( 9) 19 YOGOPANISHADS ????
Superawesome
Thought yoga means union
Exactly. But that's not what she's saying ;)
The word yoga comes from is the Sanskrit word for yoke which does mean to bring together or unite. You can translate the word differently but the essence is the same. 😊
Sadly this talk is shot through with inaccurate references and paradoxical arguments. She talks about 'narrative' rather a lot. I understand that by this she means "the internal dialogue" that goes on in the background of the mind continuously. The serious student of yoga aims to stop this dialogue. When this is achieved, true freedom is also achieved. Different yogas use different means to achieve this. By the way Eienstein was never described by his teachers as 'slow' or 'backward' This is a mis-quote that is often repeated but is quite untrue.
Hi! I appreciate you took the time to give feedback on my talk. Sorry to perpetuate the Einstein misquote. I admit I did not do primary research for that inclusion. By narrative, I mean the explanatory stories we create about ourselves to understand who we are. For instance, having a fixed idea of what a serious student of yoga is and should or shouldn't do is a narrative. That is, it's not a fact. It's just a personal idea held to keep your vision of the world holding together.
Aimee Senise Conners ...ur r right in the case of Einstein ...this damm world doesn't give a heck untill u get something in ur life....I'm sure u Captured the essence by adding thoes examples in ur speech....even Einstein would agree with u on that.... thanks for the speech ..
Pretty girl !
I am certain, real love realization would be her ultimate contentment, surpassing all static treatises, man ever conceived.
:) :)

The crazy Cat Lady does not understand even a single word of sanskrit
Sagar Sagar ya like ur the god of Sanskrit......
Wow, that is some seriously outdated and stigmatising language to describe inpatient psychiatric care. The speaker’s contempt for relapsing/remitting anorexia nervosa is palpable. Recovery does not give people an excuse to talk about mental illness in this way.
So fake.she does not know anything regarding actual meaning of yoga..not a genuine speech
Oh well since you clearly know everything, why don't you fill us in on what yoga REALLY is? Or do you just enjoy criticizing others rather than bothering to contribute anything remotely worthwhile to the discussion?
She does not seem grounded or connected at all. Really didn't like how she looked down on people who prescribe to cardio fitness as their form of exercise. She is definitely everything yoga is NOT.
Sorry my talk didn't resonate for you, Dan
Totally agree with her
+Aimée Senise Thank you for the Talk. I started doing Yoga a year ago and i feel the benifits. I currently reading Iyengars Light on Yoga. Are there any books you would recommand for further reading into yogic philosophie?
+damuschka Thank you for reaching out! I'm so glad you want to deepen your appreciation of yoga & its philosophy. I really like Stephen Cope's books, especially "the wisdom of yoga". They are very readable and not too technical or academic. Enjoy!!
+Dan Taylor Hmmm, it seemed more to me that she was contrasting the mental benefits of two forms of physical activity and not necessarily the people who prescribe to those activities. I can see how that could be implied, though. She would have done better to note that everyone isn't on the elliptical searching for enlightenment. There are many who enjoy both elliptical and yoga, as each has it's own set of benefits. Those who are on the search for a deeper meaning in life, are probably not just going to the gym and doing nothing else, but couldn't we argue that any form or workout could, in fact, be yoga? It's really about mind over matter, not asanas.
chu.rch will never approve yoga as it promotes hinduism
Brave Heart yoga promotes self discipline and union not religion, cut the bullshit. Ignorant much.
ya it promotes Hinduism which is the name of oldest civilisation of the planet ...go Google it ......where science comes to end Vedas opens the Pandora box... don't be pissed it's a fact of the world ...and u have to live under it ....
Agree, church hates Yoga.
And Jesus was born to God.
lol yes it does promotes hindusim , infact in hindusim we are asked to do yoga and meditation more then praying for god and its advaita vedanta philosophy. yoga means union of u ,urself ur mind,body, universe. there is no difference between u and "divine" (what is referred as god)
White women have really taken up yoga now that it pays 😂😂
Wiz EL a human being has taken up yoga.
You do not achieve higher conciousness by following trends and stampeding with the herd.
well maybe in this universe, but how could it not exist like that elsewhere in eternity?
