Not only that, but those involved in the study, performed significantly better in tests immediately after the yoga practice than after aerobic exercise for the same amount of time.

GOLDEN, CO--(Marketwired - Jun 21, 2013) - Miracle of Yoga, an online yoga video site and physical studio located in beautiful Golden, Colorado, is proud to welcome James Swartz, author of "How to Attain Enlightenment."

Swartz will be teaching a series of classes regarding Advaita Vedanta on June 28-30, 2013 at the Miracle of Yoga studio. Registration and more information about the three-day class schedule can be found on the Miracle of Yoga Web site at http://www.miracleofyoga.com/the-direct-path-to-self-realization/.

Advaita Vedanta is a proven means of self-knowledge and self-realization that has been setting people free for thousands of years. It is not a religion, a faith or belief system, but rather the way in which individuals perceive themselves. According to Swartz, "Vedanta reveals the unexamined logic of your own experience."

"Swartz is a normal guy from Montana who realized the true self at the age of 30," said Christian Leeby, owner and teacher at Miracle of Yoga. "Now, at 71 years old, he is a master teacher."

For over 40 years, Swartz has traveled the world teaching this practice to others. He never charges for his classes, but donations are accepted.

"If you're interested in freedom, you should know about Swartz," said Leeby, who produces free online yoga videos. "You are not your mind, body or emotions; you are the pure awareness that observes those things. Come learn how to actualize this knowledge and set yourself free forever."

Registration is required to partake in the weekend session and participants can e-mail Leeby at Christian@yogaman.com. Free parking is available.

Miracle of Yoga is an online yoga community dedicated to providing information for individuals looking to better their yoga practice. Yogis of all skill levels, including beginner's yoga, can find a suitable practice via their Web site, which is full of videos and blogs. In addition to videos, Miracle of Yoga stresses proper alignment and techniques throughout each practice.

Additional information and videos can be viewed from Miracle of Yoga's Web site at http://www.miracleofyoga.com.
