“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
Brene Brown
Connection. Interdependence. Strength. Love. Acceptance. Understanding. Non-judgment…..These are the things that sustain us. To be seen in all our frailty or strength. To acknowledge the truth about ourselves in a trusting safe space, whether we are falling down in a heap or bravely facing our obstacles is tremendously liberating for us but also for those that bear witness. Today, value the energy of connection with those around you. Support them in such a way that empowers them. Bring your full attention when someone is speaking to you and let them be seen and heard. Let yourself be seen and heard and allow yourself to be sustained by the deep connections you have in your life; your connection with nature, others, your divine power, and yourself.

Yoga this Week – March 6, 2022
*PLEASE NOTE: Friday morning yoga is switched to Thursday morning this week**
Greetings dear friends,
The Goddess Saraswati is worshipped for her creativity, wisdom, purity and gentleness . She is celebrated on the first day of Spring as “the one who flows”. She is said to bestow eloquence, intelligence and artistic inspiration to all who meditate on her transcendental qualities. Her calming peaceful presence reminds us of the great power of Shakti (the feminine energy that is said to be the catalyst of change and creation with love as the driving force) and the ultimate divine mother. We can meditate upon her to reconnect to the essence of our own true, divine nature where all of these beautiful qualities have always, and will always exist.
“May the great river of Saraswati overflow and grant us her grace”

Yoga this Week – February 27, 2022
“When experiencing this absolute true knowledge [of the reality of the present moment], all previous samskaras (patterns) are left behind and new ones are prevented from sprouting”
Yoga Sutra I.50
Hari Om dear yoga students,
The Sanskrit word, samskara, translates as a subconscious impression. Samskaras are deep seeded patterns that our mind continues to play over and over again. It is the thoughts, impressions and memories that we have acquired over our lifetimes that create conditioned responses and eventually become our habits. When we feel stuck in our lives or continue to approach situations the same way over and over again, hoping for different results, it is often due to our samskaras. Obsessions and compulsions have their root in the samskara of past conditions, but they can also produce positive tendencies, like committing to meditate or practice yoga everyday.
As we step on our mat, do our pranayama or sit on our meditation cushion, we face ourselves from the inside. The stillness within the movement of thoughts breaths or postures help to create space in between our impulses and actions. The creative art of detaching from our negative patterns allows us to make those much needed changes in our lives to flow freely and passionately in the direction we wish to go.

Yoga this Week – February 20, 2022
Saucha is the first niyama listed in the 2nd limb of Patanjali’s eight limb path. I look at the placement of this ethical practice as paving the way for the other niyamas to open our hearts and minds to transformation or better to say, coming home to who we always were. It is learning to clear the clutter, externally and internally, so we can have the space to breathe and allow ourselves to grow.
Saucha is learning to respect our bodies by feeding it wholesome food and keeping it clean and healthy; it is keeping our environment clear of clutter and toxins as well as purifying the mind of negative thinking and old ways of being. Saucha is practicing cleanliness and wholesomeness in all areas of our life to live as vital, healthy, positive and pure as we can to honor our spiritual journey hear on earth.

Yoga this Week – February 13, 2022
Hari Om Dear Yoga Students,
“Santosha, or the practice of contentment, is the ability to feel satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience”
Donna Farhi
Feeling satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience means to meet the present moment with a fresh perspective and open up to everything it has to offer. Satisfaction combines the energies of acceptance and gratitude. Contentment is not based on what you think you need to be satisfied, but more a sense of gratitude for what you already have. Santosha is, in a broader sense, about being content with your loved ones; not trying to change or coerce them to be something other then that who they are, loving them unconditionally. The ability to feel satisfied within the container of your immediate experience comes when you allow your expectations to fade and your perceptions to clear enabling you to become empty of past impressions or expectations; this is the practice of yoga, this is the practice of Santosha.

Greetings dearest friends
Letting go of fears is one of the hardest parts of walking this spiritual path. If we hold on to fears of the future, fears of mistakes we’ve made in the past, fears of not being enough, doing enough, we miss out on the beauty and sacredness of the present moment. When fear arises try and remind yourself that there is a divine plan at work. Ishvara pranidhana whispers a reminder to soften, relax, let go and trust there is a higher intelligence at work. Feel the release as you breathe out. Embrace the now with all you’ve got for it is truly all we ever have.
