Hoping this email finds you well.  The pull and the tug are everything.  We can learn so much from our yoga asana practice when we go deeper than the surface pose.  The tension, the pull and the tug in a posture creates the open lines of energy we are seeking.  The grounding down to rise up and hugging in to shine out are what life is all about.  Life is not about being free of struggle or tension but about the energy and strength that are created in the midst of it all.

Greetings dearest yoga students,

“Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions”.  I love this quote from the late, great BKS Iyengar.  Maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life is not as easy as it sounds.  Situations, events, people and even our own minds can throw us out of balance leading us to act in, shall I say, less than skillful ways.  The great news is that we have ways to return to equanimity and integrity.  Just as if we are coming into a yoga pose, we can breath, feel, relax and realign to what is true, right and integral in the moment.  Even if we have to stop and realign a thousand times a day, this is the practice and this is living your yoga.  May you allow it to guide you through this day!!

Ola Amigos,

Just returning from Tulum, Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula, I am filled with energy from the natural world both above and below the sea.  It always amazes me how nature can both nurture, awaken, excite and renew our spirits.  In the same way our yoga practice unites us to that which is everlasting and unchanging:  Gazing at the shore and sky, swimming with the fish, and feeling the warm ground underneath the soles of our bare feet connect us to that which is in perfect balance and harmony.  Enjoy this season of abundance, give thanks for the free world that we have the honor to roam and always, pray for those that are not as fortunate as we are right now.

“You have been given the gift of yoga; listen to it, act on it and you can break thrugh the bonds of karma.  On this path, no effort made is lost and there are no adverse effects.  Even a little practice of this dharma preserves one from fear.  If your mind is chattering all the time and unsteady, there are too many choices and thoughts.  But when your mind is clear and one-pointed, there is only  one way to go”
                                                         From the Bhagavad Gita (Ancient Hindu Scripture)

Happy Father’s Day to all!  What a wonderful day to celebrate those wonderful beings we are blessed to call Fathers.  I know I have had one wonderful dad by birth but there have been a number of other “fathers” throughout my life that I honor and send gratitude to.  Some our relatives or friends but also there are those that have been father’s from a distance, either in books, songs, poems or classes.  Allow gratitude to fill your heart today and every day for all the fathers in your life.

Here’s my favorite “Father’s Day” song by Cat Stevens, click on the link to enjoy!!

A Walk on the Beach: Tales of Wisdom From an Unconventional Woman

Greetings dearest yoga friends,

Its amazing but here we are at summer’s edge again.  Looking forward to our first Beach Yoga Class tomorrow night at 7pm down at Broadway Beach.  We are truly blessed to be surrounded with such beauty within our neighborhoods and shorelines here on the beautiful North Shore.

As I was sifting through used books at a thrift store the other day, I came across a book I thought would be a great group reading experience for this summer.  We had such a wonderful discussion when we read “Gift from the Sea” a few summers ago that I wanted to try it again and this title caught my eye.  It talks about the relationship that took shape between famous author and wife of Erik Erickson, Joan Erickson (a woman in her 90’s) and Joan, the author of the book.  It seems like a quick read that’s filled with lots of quotes, insights and inspiration.

Click on the link, take a look at it and see if you would like to read it with us.  I saw its available on Amazon for as little as $5.  the library may have it as well.  Let me know if you are interested and I can see how many copies I get.

May there be peace and peace and perfect peace everywhere!!!

Shanti!

Let us meditate on the light of the sun, which shines on all living things and everything in between.  Let this pure light of intelligence illuminate our intellects so that we may make the right decisions at the right time for the good of all.  Let there be peace, and peace and perfect peace everywhere!

Greetings dear Yoga Students,

Hoping this email finds you safe, content and free!

Chanting the Gayatri Mantra, specifically in increments of 108 (sacred number), brings about calm, focus and sends intelligent energy out into the world.  We will be chanting this mantra at 915am before the start of our asana class to help raise the vibration in  and around us.

Greetings dearest Yoga Students,

In Yoga there are many dualities.  We ground down to rise up, hug in to shine out, breath in fully to exhale completely; go within to be present to what is all around us; the opposing action creates the unfolding of expansion, and beauty.

Last night my son came home beaming after  visiting a couple who had lost a child a few years back.  He said the mom had been feeling down and one of the boys suggested they visit, bring flowers and say hi.  The couple was so moved they invited the boys for dinner (feeding four teenage boys is a feat in itself!), and the visit ended up being much longer than anticipated.  The couple told stories of their teenage daughter and laughed and reminisced.  The boys were elevated, filled with pride and purpose by  lifting another; they expanded and experienced the beauty of giving.  Just as yoga poses reverberate in our bodes, I believe this experience will not be easily forgotten.

Sometimes the best things in life, are the opposite of what we think we need.  Ground down in your life today to shine out.  If your feeling defeated, down or frustrated, try giving to another and experience the expansion, the opening and the beauty that comes from giving.

Happy Memorial Day!  Let us remember and give thanks to all those who have served by giving their life to something bigger than themselves.  We all can get caught up in our egocentricity  from time to time.  It is, however, the times when we are immersed in something greater than ourselves that we feel the powerful pulse of life.   If you find yourself focusing on your own worries, problems or pain, try getting involved in something outside yourself.  In lifting another up or simply being part of something to better your community or world, you will find that the hero within you is just awaiting your invitation to arise and be remembered.
