Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,

We do not stand alone.  This journey through life is shared in countless ways.  What happens to you, happens to me.    When we release the dillusion that we are separate from everything around us, Ahimsa (non-violence) flows through us as easily as water flows down a steep mountain slope.  Insead of reserving your deep affection and attention for a select few, widen your circle of compassion and embrace with loving kindness everyone and everything around you.  When we give, we actually do receive.

Description: All students can benefit from yoga. Yoga is a noncompetitive practice that has the ability to keep the body flexible, strong and injury free while releasing stress and tension in the mind. With all the demands of school, sports and commitments, yoga can be a safe, non‐judgmental practice that relaxes the mind and energizes the body. Yoga has the ability to cultivate self‐confidence along with a sense of community while having fun! This class will use physical postures, breathing techniques and relaxation on exercises that are geared for all levels and abilities.

Yoga this Week – March 8, 2015

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Listening to this all too familiar song being sung in a not so familiar way last night, allowed me to hear the amazing lyrics as if for the first time.  Those three simple words;” Let It Be”, have such power.  Sometimes all we have to do in times of confusion, sadness, anger, or regret is just to let it be.  Let things be as they are, let people be who they are, let the world be as it is and sit quietly waiting for an answer to come.  All too often we tend to come at a situation with fear and impatience only to find another obstacle that creates yet more anxiety.  While challenging yoga poses can invoke the same panicky pushing, we are reminded to breathe, relax and feel what adjustments we need to make to experience the sukha and sthira(sweetness and steadiness) in the posture.  “There will be an answer, Let it Be” reminds us to breathe, relax and feel as the right answer comes in the still, small voice that is your highest self.

Yoga This Week – March 1, 2015

“When experiencing this absolute true knowledge,
all previous samskaras (patterns) are left behind and new ones are prevented from sprouting” 
Yoga Sutra I.50
 5987d-goddes-01

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.  However, more importantly it allows us to look at our emotional patterns more like the weather around us; we are in the weather but we are not the weather.    The weather changes but we remain the same.  This compassionate awareness reminds us of an even more important point:  That we all feel the same feelings.  The patterns you struggle with are , most likely, the same as others in your life. Ultimately, becoming aware of your own samskaras expands your circle of compassion so you can reach out to others from a place of knowing.  Yoga is all about clearing ourselves so we can go out and help others.  What we heal in ourselves, we heal in the world.

This is the time to dig deep and find the beauty within.  Try and clear the clutter physically, spiritually and emotionally so that you can experience the lovely essence of your life.  Find the joy in the simple things.  Spring is coming but Winter is her now so find the beauty that is here now.  Do not wish any of your moments away.   “May you walk in Beauty and may you be aware that you already do”.

Join me and my good friend,  Lois Healion, RYT500,  for a special partner yoga class honoring our interconnectedness!

Traditionally, yoga is seen as an individual practice, but Partner Yoga brings people together through movement, play, breath, and touch.   It can be practiced by any two people and is a great way to foster  trust and communication.  Partner Yoga is a way to cultivate connection, support another and get great assists within your poses.

Class will conclude with a Chocolate Meditation to savor the sweetness of connection.

  You do not have to come with a partner and you don’t have to be a couple.  This class is for all!

“The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots …

we’re already tied in knots. 
The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts. 
The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.”

– Max Strom

mother earth globe

Take a breath.  A long, relaxed inhale and hold that fullness, that tightness, those knots for a moment…..and when you are ready, open up your channels and exhale long and deep with a big sigh.   Let go of your worries of the future and regrets of the  past and Be present to all this moment holds.  Notice in detail the vibrant colors and shine, the movement of the wind, the sounds, smells and feelings that are all held in existence around and inside you.  Be the seer, the witness of this miraculous day that we are here and alive.  Untie  the knots that bind your heart and unite with the amazing power of the universe.

In the words of Eckhart Tolle, “Anytime we step into the present moment, we are able to experience the sacredness of life“.

Saturday Morning, March 7th at 8:45  to 10:30am Workshop with Kim Williams (Kishori)

Prana, Teja and Ojas: Vital Essences of Transformation

Dharma Talk, Pranyama & Asana Class

Yoga is an inner alchemical process through which we can develop higher consciousness. We each have the capacity within us to go beyond ordinary human awareness to reach a state of Self-realization.   Prana, Tejas, and Ojas  support health, creativity and well-being. They provide the foundation for deeper yogic and meditational practices.   We will especially focus on how to cultivate Ojas as that is the foundation on which our yoga practice rests. It is responsible for our immunity and on a deeper level, our sense of well-being or our bliss body. Ojas is directly linked with the essence of divine love within and can be cultivated through bhakti yoga and a lifestyle full of wholesome pleasures.
