About two years ago, Curtis Young began losing his balance, falling over at work. The avid surfer had always kept himself in shape by running and lifting weights, so this sudden vertigo in his early 50s really scared him.
'It got to the point to where I couldn't even walk, hardly,' said Young, who found his cure in yoga for that and so many other ailments.
Alma Miller, co owner of Blue Moon Yoga where Young practices the life healing technique three times a week, said yoga is a very ancient practice, the science of self transformation.
'I think it's something that is a discipline that gets you on your own, little by little, until you become the best person you can be in the best body you can have, very healthy body, very strong, very supple,' said Miller, whose husband Andy also owns the Blue Moon Yoga in Sunrise Corner, 3001 Pablo Kisel, Suite H 3. Classes are held there and at Galeria 409 at 409 E. 13th St.
One recent Saturday morning, 77 year old Blanca Treviño stretched her arm far over her head, leaning forward and supporting herself on her knee as Miller called out instructions.
'Arms up to the chest, arms to the center, rolling shoulders to the back,' Miller called out softly but firmly in the dim lit room while an air purifier and ionizer softly hummed. Subtle lighting cast tranquil shadows; the movements of Trevino and the other students on mats of aqua blue and purple and violet sent sounds of shuffling into the stillness.
