“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
The heart chakra is your most vulnerable place.  When we are hurt in life or love, our first instinct is to build protective walls around ourselves in fear of being hurt again.  These walls, however, only cut us off from the very energy we long for which begins with self-love.  In order to receive or express true compassion and unconditional love, we must first open our heart to ourselves.  Then this beautiful, abundance energy can flow freely, just as the physical heart pumps life giving blood throughout our system, and then receives it back again; the infinite source of compassion, forgiveness and joy that is stored in the recesses of our heart can radiate throughout our lives,  flowing within us, to those around us and then back again.  The  Anahata Chakra holds the ultimate, most powerful healing energy there is on earth and beyond:  Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness and Joy.

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

Prana, Teja and Ojas: Vital Essences of Transformation

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.

Greetings again yogi’s and yogini’s,

Yoga this Week – February 2, 2015

**I am planning on class tonight but we will see how the weather pans out, let me know if you would like to come**

Dearest Yoga Students,

Hoping you are safe and warm this morning.  Whatever the weather, we really do have the ability to create a positive inner shift simply by cultivating gratitude.  Just coming back from the beautiful west coast of Florida, the scene outside my window is a bit of a shock!  Being in gratitude in the moment is one of the best things we can do to live a most productive, love filled life.   All it takes is one breath, one thought, one inner seed to be planted to change a day from black and white into a day filled with vibrant color.  All it takes is an inner shift because happiness really is an inside job.

Stay Safe, Stay Warm – Do Yoga – Hope to resume on Wednesday Night!

Being Snowed in can be such an opportunity to enjoy slowing down, catching up on some reading, spending time on your mat or cuddling in to watch a good movie.

Hope by Wednesday night we are all cleared out and ready for our 7:15pm class.

If you are out in the snow, remember to stretch before, after and during.  If you get the urge, the snow is a great place to do a headstand!!

 

Peace & Love

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Author Unknown

Greetings dearest yoga students,

How many times do we find ourselves “bent out of shape” when things don’t go quite the way we had planned.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be flexible enough to flow moment to moment in our life adjusting instead of reacting to the situations that occur?  Think about how much more peaceful life would be.  Sometimes all it takes is a step back, a moment or more of reflection to think about our part in the situation and to shift our focus on a solution instead of bringing all of our energies into the problem.  This does not mean allowing our personal boundaries to be crossed or negative behavior to continue in or around us.  It means taking a step back and being flexible enough, open enough to see the reality of what is happening.  To focus our desire on the truth and see where we can adjust and make changes so that we contribute to the solution.  Perhaps in some situations flexibility is simply moving towards acceptance of what we cannot change with compassion and love for all those involved, including ourselves. 

What if the only New Years Resolution we had was to simply love ourselves More?

Co-creating Your Life Workshop Tonight at 7pm

There is still time to join us tonight!  Text me at 839-0644 if you would like to come.

Meditation with aromatherapy, journaling, creating, visualizing our dreams into action! 

Co-Creating Your Life – A Vision Board Workshop

Thursday, January 22nd 7-9pm

 –

“Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.”

   

Enlightenment happens, not in some far away distant esoteric place, but in the everydayness of life.  Enlightenment is an appropriate response to your inner callings and a willingness to act from your highest, intuitive self.   A Vision Board is a collection of images, words, affirmations or drawings that serve as a spirit-led guide for discovering and acknowledging what your soul is yearning for.   The universe wants to support your efforts to live a life filled with joy, abundance, adventure and purpose.   It is within the effort of creating the Vision that brings clarity as well as focus to your intentions so you can begin to live your life by your own design, free of fear based judgments or cultural pressures.

=

The New Year is a great time to open your mind to more than traditional New Year’s resolutions, to have fun exploring your inner desires and create a fun reminder of the things that excite, endear and provoke you to live an inspired life!

This workshop will consist of a centering meditation, a simple writing exercise and choosing images and paisting them on a piece of oaktag.  Each participant is asked to bring 3 to 5 magazines of random genres to be cut up and shared, a picture of yourself that projects joy and happiness, and a small journal or notebook.  All other supplies will be provided.

Cost is $15

Please reserve your spot for this special workshop.

Namaste

No Class this Monday Evening – Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

Greetings dear yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you well and enjoying the receptive energy of this winter season.  I love the term “disciplined nonconformists” that MLK so eloquently states are the “Hope of a secure and livable world”.      A life of discipline (Tapas in yogic terms) affords us the freedom to operate from our higher selves, confident even when we are going against cultural norms. When we hear our inner calling, it takes persistence and faith to have the courage to follow through with what we hear, even if those around us might raise an eyebrow or fear we are going in the wrong direction.  Be still, listen, be disciplined in your practices of ethical living in body, mind and spirit,  which is what yoga practice is all about.  Yoga is to become pure in all facets of our lives so we can act from that place of calm abiding, wisdom and love.  Yoga literally means to yoke, to be self controlled, to be disciplined so we can be the ones that  dare to step out into the light;  for the hope of a secure and livable world lies within us.
