Yoga this Week – April 28, 2013
Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine.
Confidence through self control.
Energy within and energy without.
Ymber Delecto
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,
This quote reminds me of the lesson in dualities we find in our yoga practice like grounding down to rise up or hugging in to shine out. At first glance, these may seem like opposing forces but in reality it is the opposite that manifests the desired result.
Being invigorated while remaining relaxed is a lesson in becoming awake. Awake to all that is around and within us without having to do anything. Without having to change anything; simply enjoying being present through a calm, relaxed state. Routines can at either be mundane or nourishing. When we look at our daily rounds as burdens, we trudge through them with a heavy heart feeling trapped in “have tos” and “shoulds”. However, if we move through our routines as rituals in our life, bring gratitude with our efforts for what we are both responsible for and able to do, it can create a freedom in knowing these routines support our life and those around us. It turns our burdens into acts of love. When we first consider the discipline of self- control, it may seem like an imposing act of self-denial but controlling our impulses and learning to trust our actions creates a simple confidence in our decision making. We can trust that we will act from a place of clarity and right thinking. And finally is it through cultivating our inner energy that we are able to send out the finest quality of energy to the world around us.
Working with dualities in this way can enable us to use what at first seems like an opposing force to catapult us to new heights. When chanting to Ganesh, the elephant headed God who is thought to be the remover of obstacles, we are really asking for our intellects to be inspired to see the open doors of opportunity that are all around us. Sometimes the obstacles that are in our path are the very things that can send us forward reminding us we already possess everything we need to create an invigorated, free, confident life filled with the finest quality of energy we could ever imagine.
ShaktiPath Kirtan Tonight at Jewel of the Lotus – 7pm!!!
Greetings Dear Yoga Students,

“Any change into a new state of being is the result of the fullness of
Nature unfolding inherent potential“
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Greetings dearest yoga students,
Hoping this email finds you and enjoying this beautiful Sunday morning. Whether we recognize it or not, we all have inherent potential exceeding far beyond our own preconceptions and invisible self-proclaimed limitations. We may catch glimses of this unlimited potential in our lives. Times when we feel completely content and happy or times when confronted with an unthinkable obstacle, our strength or love may seem to rise up out of our center and fill us with that power.
Yoga is a technology to aide us in tapping into this potential, everytime you make your way to your mat. It is a means of waking up from our “spritual amnesia” and remembering our true nature; that we already have all we need to participate fully in our lives. To co-create, endure obstacles, love unconditionally and take care of ourselves and others, without limitations.

Yoga this Week – April 14, 2013
“When you experience yourself in stillness – that is, when you give your undivided attention to experiencing the truth about you – you will experience the conflict-free, calm, dynamic peace of perfectly centered abundant life energy”
Eric Shiffman
Greetings dearest yoga students,
Hoping this day finds you basking in the light of gratitude and surrender to what has materialized in your life. Feel into this moment as you feel into a yoga pose. Align yourself to the spaciousness of all this moment has to offer. Breathe in acceptance and breathe out love. Feel into the stillness at the end of your next breathe and connect to your true self as you draw near to the present, the here and now. Draw up the finest quality energy and co-create your day as one that centers around peace, compassion and love.

Yoga this Week – April 6, 2013
Only as a spiritual warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges. The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything
as a blessing or a curse. – Don Juan
Greetings to all my peaceful warriors who week after week face the ultimate challenge of coming face to face with their bodies, minds and spirits on their yoga mats. Breathe in the energy of spring and be present to all the love that surrounds you.
“You are seeking joy in far off places, but the spring of joy is in your heart. The haven of peace is in yourself”
Thank you all for journeying through the chakra system these past seven weeks with me. As always, it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to bring these sacred teachings to you. Our study of the body, mind and spirit with its complex movement of energy never ends. Through asana, meditation, chanting, and spiritual studies, we learn how to be grounded, creative, powerful, compassionate, expressive and wise so we can connect to spirit and the grace thats available to us in our lives. I stand in awe at our body’s capacity for healing and guiding us back to wholeness; to our orginal state of equanimity, love and peace because I both know this to be true and I see it in all of you week after week as you committ to your practice and yourself.

Therapeutic Yoga – Yoga is for Everyone
Therapeutic Yoga – Wednesdays 11 to 1215pm
Yoga is for everyone. If you can breathe, you can do yoga. Yoga is a cultivation of inner peace, acceptance and self love. It is more than the ability to touch your toes or stand on your head.
This class will afford students who may have hesitated to join a typical class the opportunity to experience the amazing transformative power of yoga in thier lives; body, mind and spirit.
“Therapeutic Yoga” will be a very gentle class, catering to those that have special situations, recuperating from surgery, have limited mobility or simply want to ease into yoga practice in a gentle, safe way. We will use chairs and props if needed and each pose/movement will be modified so that everyone can experience the deep healing yoga offers in their own unique way. We will begin each class with gentle breath work and end with a fifteen minute relaxation posture incorporating some reiki energy healing and essential oils.
This class will run on four week monthly sessions and will be limited to 8 students. Payment of $55 prior to start of session will cover all four classes. On a drop in basis, if space allows, the fee will be $16 per class and require prior notice to ensure space is available. Let me know if you or anyone you know would benefit from this class are interested.
Namaste

Yoga this Week – March 31, 2013
A human being is a part of the whole called by us “the universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical illusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” – Albert Einstein
Crown Chakra – Sahasrara – Thousand Petal Lotus
- Color – violet, white
- Physical Location – top of head
- Element – Light
- Attributes – Supreme Bliss – Samadhi
- Purposes – intuitive knowing, connection to one’s spirituality, integration of the whole
- Spiritual Lesson – spirituality, living in the now, unity, connection
- Mental and Emotional Issues – discovery of the divine, lack of purpose, loss of meaning or identity, trust, selflessness, humanitarianism, ability to see the bigger picture in the life stream, devotion, inspiration, values, ethics
- Information Stored Inside Crown Chakra – duality, magnetism, controlling patterns, emotional feelings (joy, anger, fear), empathy, compassion
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Greetings dear Yoga Students and Happy Easter to those of you who are celebrating!!
The crown chakra signifies our connection to spirit, our higher power, and our divine essence. We feel this chakra open in those moments when we look around our life and see that everything is perfect, beautiful and harmonious. We can also open to the power of this energy when we are struggling with difficulties, tragedies or discontent. We can allow our divine spirit to carry us and trust that “some distant day” all will make sense again in our lives.
The energy of the Sahasrara reminds us that we are “All One” and that we can let go of that illusion of separateness. As you feel the sun shine on your face today, make a mental note that that sun shines on every single person, flower, and blade of grass that you see without distinction. We are all part of the same whole, whatever your spiritual belief system might include, we are all children of this universe, “no less than the trees and the stars” and we will be carried in times of great joy and times of deep despair. Connect, plug in, listen and allow yourself to receive all the gifts that your divine spirit has to offer. Allow Grace always…

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
Henry Ward Beecher
