**Friday Morning Yoga is cancelled for this week as we are finally getting our new rug installed!!!***

“Like the descent through layers of tension to rest in the release of Savansana (resting pose), Ishvara pranidhana provides a pathway through the obstacles of our ego toward our divine nature—grace, peace, unconditional love, clarity, and freedom.” Shiva Rea

Greetings Dearest yoga students:

Ishvara (Divine Power or God)-Pranidhana (Attentiveness or Surrender) means to  surrender our efforts to the divine power in our lives. This niyama (the last out of five observances outlined in Patanjali’s eight limb yogic path) personifies the idea of living in the truth that in our limited human state we simply do not have the control we like to think we do over our lives  and we do not always know what is best for us.  However, by  paying attention in our yogic practices of meditation, asana or prayer we tap in to the source that guides us in our every decision allowing us to walk through our days confidence and ease.

Ishvara Pranidhana is practicing detachment from our most safely laid plans,  learning to take that next step forward without knowing what will come next.   When we are able to look past the selfish desires of the ego by getting out of our own way,  we are able to be a clear channel of divine light, illuminating others way on this path of life.

Namaste Dearest Yoga Students,

You may have heard that my dear father passed yesterday.  He was holding my brother Rocky’s hand and was peacefully swept away.  My dad led a charmed life, 92.5 years to be exact.  He was hardly ever sick and was strong as an ox up until the last breath.  My brother put it so eloquently when he said “Dad’s passing was as natural as the setting sun”.  We rise, we grow bright, and when our lives come to a close we set, leaving vibrant colors and meaningful memories.  My father requested no service, no wake but only a party to honor his life.  I appreciate all the messages of condolences and prayers. His life will live on in all of us; his 6 children, 18 Grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren with two on the way…now that is something to celebrate!!

Shanti, shanti, shanti!!!

Love

Amy

Yoga is a path to the heart. It’s a way of grounding you in a present moment awareness that whispers “life is a beautiful mix of wild flowers and clouds, appreciate it all”  A.P.
