Greetings dear yoga students,
Hoping this email finds you fostering a sense of grateful anticipation for the day and week ahead. Acceptance of life circumstances does not mean to give in, give up or throw in the towel. Acceptance is looking at what fate has brought to your door, examining the facts with an open heart and clear mind and then from deep within gather the courage to do what you need or do – which in some instances is the courage to do absolutely nothing. Whenever we are at odds with something, feel “off-kilter” or are experiencing anxiety, it usually can be traced back to our inability to accept what is happening in the present moment. Acceptance enables us to enjoy the scenery of our lives the way it is, even if it is not what we expected. So dive in to the present moment of your life today and meditate on the areas that you meet with resistance; breathe a compassionate breath, bless your circumstances, love the people who join you on your journey with all your heart and find the peace and serenity that comes with true acceptance.

Greetings dear Yoga students,
Martin Luther King, Jr. describes Ishvara Pranidhana perfectly in the above quotation. ; having Faith and surrendering to the process even when you don’t know where it will lead you. The fact is we really never have a guarantee that our plans will work out. I have experienced many times when fear led me to overthink, manipulate, and try to control every part of a situation, only to wake up to the fact that all I had to do was relax, trust and be open to the unfolding, which many times was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined! The yogic niyama, Ishvara Pranidhana calls us to let go and trust that there is a divine plan working along side you. Let go of results, trust the process and even when you don’t know where you are going, lift your foot and take that first step!

Greetings dear Yoga Students,
When you do your yoga practice, do it for more than the obvious physical benefits. Yoga gives us an opportunity to connect with that sacred self that lies beneath appearances, beyond belief systems and transcends even time. Yoga ignites our curiosity and expands our capacity for growth to help create a more meaningful, healthy and vital sense of living, not just for ourselves, but for all we come in contact with.

“What’s Done is Done”
Shakespeare
Happy New Year Dearest Yoga Students,
Do not allow yourself to get stuck in the past. What has happened is already gone. Like the wake of a boat, it is behind you and does not have to define or determine the direction you will take. Let go and allow what has happened to shape your future on its own. Everything that has happened has led you to this moment. You cannot change the past, you can look and learn but in the end you must let go and set your sights on the future. Although the future is there wide open for anyone to change, we have a tendency to hang on to the unfulfilled wish to change the past and live with the mantra, “If only”… this simply is wasted energy. What’s done is done…. direct your energy to the future: meditate in the present, make plans, set intentions, transform your intentions into actions and let go of anything holding you back from creating the life you were meant to live….YOU are the one you’ve been waiting for!

May we have eyes to see the divinty amoung usCelebrate, dream and allow the empty pages of the year ahead be filled with a vision of hope, happiness, fufillment and abundance for yourself and your life. The secret art of abundance is simple: Cultivate contentment by truly seeing how much you already have. Take some time before the clock strikes midnight on Thursday to reflect on the past year and honor the lessons you have learned and the people that brought them to you. Whether the lessons were full of grief, joy, empowerment, acceptance, perserverence or undconditional love, they were brought to you for reasons that may be beyond your human understanding. Be gentle with yourself and others by responding with compassion and non-judgemental acceptance; try to live the questions as our journey of self-discovery never ends but only grows deeper as hours turn into days and days turn into years and years turn into a life well lived.

Blessings for a Happy, Healthy New Year

Greetings Dear Friends,
Hoping this email finds you well rested and at peace within your life. Sometimes we feel enveloped in darkness and are searching for light and sometimes we are the light for others. We must remember that we are all ordinary people that have the potential to serve in extraordinary ways. Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin L King, and many, countless others, were merely ordinary people who responded to a call much greater than themselves. “There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter “. Allow the beautiful lights of the holiday season to remind you every moment that this powerful healing spirit is available to you always.
