When you do yoga postures,
surrender to the moment,
be in the moment,
don`t worry about weather
you can touch your
toes or not,
just experience the process.
Then try to carry this attitude
into the rest of your day,
away from tension,
guilt and anxiety.
Experience is the door
to the here and now.
Amrit Kala
Hari Om dearest yoga students,
Non-attachment is one of the most difficult aspects of our practice to attain. We attach ourselves to an ideal of what our life should look like, what our yoga practice should feel like, what our world should be like and then only create suffering when it does not measure up. To truly be in the process,present to the here and now is a gift. When we walk through that doorway, we feel the guilt, shame and anxiety, which have become like guests who have overstayed their welcome, slip away. We all deserve to be free, we all deserve to experience joy and true joy and freedom is only found in one place: the here and now…
If you plan on joining in for Beach Yoga, we will meet at my house and carpool down to Hallock Landing Beach – Check Email or FB Page by 5pm to see if class will be on the beach or in our yoga room. If you decide to drive down on your own, please be mindful of the “No Parking” Signs. Contact me if you have any questions. I hope to continue this beautiful tradition of taking our yoga outdoors and I appreciate your patience as we work out the details. I promise you, it is worth it!!!

I love the message in this post. My first Hatha class presented me with the challenge to detach from life’s happenings. With a good instructor, and other willing yogis by your side, It became a lot easier to trust in your body and mind in order to really let go. 🙂 You might like the blog I wrote on Hatha as a part of my yoga series: http://www.peerfit.com/blog/2013/07/wind-down-wednesday-hatha-yoga/
