Please try to arrive early as I will be locking up the beach parking lot at 7:05 to head down to the sand.  Sunset is at 8:10pm tonight  As the days begin to shorten, we will begin our class earlier.

“Through practice, I’ve come to see that the deepest source of my misery is not wanting things to be the way they are. Not wanting myself to be the way I am. Not wanting the world to be the way it is. Not wanting others to be the way they are. Whenever I’m suffering, I find this ‘war with reality’ to be at the heart of the problem.”

Stephen Cope

Greetings dear yoga students,

Welcome to another glorious day. As you meander through your daily round, think about something you may be “at war” with in your own life. Living life on life’s terms is not an endeavor for the faint hearted. As humans, we seem to always want to fix things or create fantasies and repeat mantras like; “if only things were different then I could be happy”. True inner contentment only comes from within. We must make the decision to be happy now. Now is all we have. This moment, this day, this family, this body, this home, this job, this stretch of 24 hours to live our life. Cultivate acceptance with whatever or whoever is in your life today. Be the one that brings serenity to your interactions and act with your heart on situations that seem to baffle you. Try and do more reflection that reaction and you may find, things are exactly as they should be. Relax, let go and focus today on being at peace with reality. The war within quiets when you cultivate Santosha – contentment; allow yourself to bloom wherever you are planted, within whatever circumstances life finds you.

“We will only discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people’s models,

learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.”

Shaki Gawain

Svadhyaya

The fourth Niyama (or observance) in the Eight Limb Path of yoga is the study of the self.

Like so many yoga practices, svadhyaya is the process of getting to know who we really are; our true self. Yoga asana, pranayam, and meditation are all ways to peel off the layers of our false selves. Doing this and staying present to the process is not always easy. As we peel the layers and really look at our exposed wounds, memories, conditionings and patterns, we may feel more confused and defeated than when we began. Trust the process and turn again and again to those spiritual teachers that came before us. They are there to guide us; in books, in music, in our dreams, our prayers or maybe sitting right across from us at work, home or in our communities. As we work to let go of others (or even our own) ideas of who we should be, the more open and compassionate to our own “particular genius” we can become and the more our “natural channels” to the divine open and our dharma (life’s purpose) is revealed.

Summer Yoga Group Book Read – Gifts From The Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I have requested 8 copies of the book to be held for me and I should have them this week.  Let me know if you would like me to hold one for you.  If you have your own copy, pull it down, dust it off and begin.  It is a perfect summer book to read again and again.  We will discuss where and when we will meet to contemplate this treasured classic.

*

Beginning August 6th I will be leading an all-levels Yoga Class at the North Shore Public Library on Wednesday mornings at 10am for the month of August.  Registration begins on August 1st.  If anyone of you are interested in demonstrating for me, let me know.  It would be much appreciated!!!  Also at the North Shore Public Library this Saturday, Kishori (Kim) begins her Ayurvedic Series!  There may still be room for this informative three-session presentation.

*

Classes down at the beach have been lovely.  I welcome lots of new faces  and am enjoying being on our beach twice a week.  Continue to check the website if the weather looks questionable as Wednesday  classes will be held in our yoga room if beach is not accessible.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om!

Be at Peace, you are already perfect exactly the way you are!

“Yoga is a balancing factor, a substratum across all of your life, so you do not get shifted in one direction or another. It gives you freshness, gives you light, recharges your batteries. You become a stable person. You realize what balance is, what sukha is, what contentment is, what joy is.”
~ Birjoo Mehta

 

Hoping to see you all in class this week so together we can recharge, rebalance and stabilize to experience yoga’s true gifts;  sukha (sweetness), contentment and joy!!!

Want to be part of a yoga group summer book reading?  I would like to offer a timed classic to read together for the summer.  Ann Morrow Lindberg’s  “Gift From the Sea”.  This is a treasure I pull out every summer and always find it refreshing, deep and engaging.  Let me know if you would like to join me and we will set a date for a nice discussion towards the end of summer.

A Note on Beach Yoga:  Please click on the link for details regarding yoga on the beach.  If you need to acquire a parking permit from me, you need to arrive at least ten minutes before the start of class as I will be locking up a few minutes before class start time to get down to the beach and teach.  If you do arrive late, there a three or four public “safe” parking spots on Acadia Road (the road just down the hill to the left of the walk way on the street).

Also, if walking up the stairs proves to be too taxing, you can always choose to walk up to the parking lot  via the path on Hallock Landing.  Its much more gradual.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Namaste!!

Restorative yoga postures are supported by blankets, pillows, straps and bolsters to relieve tension, stress and open energy in the body.

Reiki Healing is a non-invasive channeling of universal healing energy with the intention of loving kindness sent to the receiver. The scent of essential oils allow your body and mind to relax even deeper by facilitating a calming effect.
