Yoga this Week – January 28, 2018

“Life is a Learning Curve” is the quote my 19 year old snowboarding, drumming, stay-up-all-niter college freshman decided to get tattooed on his inner forearm next to the autism puzzle piece in honor of his older brothers journey navigating life on the spectrum.

Image may contain: one or more people and closeup

These days we have a habit of saying that quote often when we come up against something new, hard, difficult, exciting or confusing. Life IS a learning curve. Do we ever stop learning? Transitions, pain, sorrow, winning, defeat, even success all have a learning curve at their core and what make up a growing life.  After all, wouldn’t the drive just be a tedious ride if all the roads were straight? It really are those curves that drive us forward, empowering and creating empathy, compassion and resilience as we tackle each one.   Like waves on the ocean the learning will keep rolling in. Some of the waves will be easy,  rolling gently and slowly onto the shore and some will crash us right from behind and slam us down on our backs. It’s all a learning, a moving forward, through and back and forth again.   Whenever you hear that inner critic or that debilitating fear rise up” that tells you “you can’t handle this” try and repeat the mantra “Life is a Learning Curve” ; tattoo it on your arm if you need to and remind yourself you are not supposed to have all the answers and that learning is gives your life meaning your your heart a chance soar.

Dear Yoga Students,

Yoga this Week – January 14, 2018

Greetings dear Yoga Students,

We are all moving forward,whether we fly, run, walk or crawl.  We can resist the pull of the future or we can choose to join in the dance.  Our yoga practice is a guide for skillful living.  It is a guide designed to free from the trappings of the mind.    We are moving, we are changing, things will never be this way again.To resist is only to deny the truth of our very existence.  Try to love the journey, the challenges, empty spaces and busy days.  Keep your dreams in sight and whatever you do, keep moving forward!!!

I’m Teaching Yoga for Kids!!!

After-school Yoga for Kids at the Joseph A Edgar Old Gym

Led by Amy Perri, eRYT500

You Do Not Have to Be a Rocky Point Resident to Sign up.

Yoga is beneficial for everybody.  It is a non-competitive way for kids to increase strength and flexibility, encouraging self expression and creativity which boosts self-esteem and confidence.  Yoga practice is known for increasing concentration and attention span by promoting inner calm and relaxation.  Yoga can be practiced by kids of all abilities and fosters a sense of non-judgmental community.   But the most important aspect for kids is that it can be so much fun!!!

Happy New Year!! Yoga this Week – January 1, 2018

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance”  Alan Watts

Happy New Year and Many Blessings for 2018!  Change is inevitable, sometimes it is a welcome change and sometimes things change without our permission.  Take some time today to pause, reflect and breathe into what is flowing in and out of your life.  Just like the Solstice Sun reaches its peak, pauses and reverses its direction shedding more light on our lives little by little, we too need to pause and have patience “everything that remains unsolved in your heart” and when we are ready, clear and calm, plunge in and dance!
