**Note there is a change in date from Thursday to Friday**

Winter Solstice Celebration Friday, December 19th at 7pm

Join us for a gathering of our Kula, which means “community of the heart” to honor this sacred time of year.  The evening will include chanting, intention setting, playful yoga poses and candle ceremony.   Refreshments will be served.  All are welcome, new and returning students alike!!

Our Annual Winter Solstice Celebration is Friday, December 19th at 7pm (sorry about the date change).    Please let me know if you are coming if you haven’t already!  This is one of my most favorite holiday parties of the season!!  Take this time to step out of the comings and goings and become aware how darkness turns to light and endings become beginnings.

–surya-namaskar

Remember the Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and the shortest day but what that really means is that we are celebrating the return of the sun!!

 

Reminder about what to bring

(What Not to Bring:  Your Mat)

*Bring an image, word, drawing to put on our Community Yoga Vision Board.  Something you wish to see more of in our world for 2015

*Bring a donation for our food pantry (non-perishable food or toiletries item)

*Bring a percussion instrument if you have it for the chanting section

*Dress Festively (Think Winter Solstice:  Blues, purples, dark burgundies, sparkles, shimmers, you get the point.  Festive does not necessarily mean dressed up)

Greetings Dear Yoga Students,
–
We all know that change is inevitable, but yet we still long to cling to the known, the familiar, the comfortable.  George Harrison once said, “If we aren’t changing, we aren’t growing”.  Everything that grows must change.  It is just as important to our well being to accept and embrace change as it is to breathe.  Enjoy the moments of your day, embrace all that is in your life with enthusiasm knowing that you will never pass through this day again.  Be open to the shifting landscapes, the rise and fall of emotions, the ebb and flow of energy.  When the waves of change seem to be harsh and the seas are rough around you, remember that you are part of an amazing, vast ocean of movement through which you are inevitably being molded, changed and led in the direction of your divine destiny.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

                                                                               Albert Schweitzer

 

Deep gratitude to all who continue to light the flame within with yoga.   Just by being part of our Kula (community of the heart) you can be a spark that helps to ignite and inspire another.  I know you all spark my inner light whenever you come to class, send me an email or say hello in our community.  I am grateful to each and everyone of you for bringing your unique and beautiful energy into our yoga room.  Hoping you all have a very healthy, Happy Thanksgiving.  Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om!!!

 May all hearts be at ease. May our contentment promote the energies to alleviate suffering and turn ignorance into knowledge. May the cultivation of santosha guide us to courageous action, deeper community and greater love of all sentient beings.

                                          Swami Shraddhananda

Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,

Santosha is one of the Niyamas outlined in the eight limbs of yoga.  Niyamas are ethical practices that cultivate inner peace and awareness about ourselves.  Santosha means contentment.  To be content with whatever is.  Having the good fortune of participating in a workshop with Todd Norian this past week enlightened me to a new way of thinking about Santosha.  He spoke about life being a series of problems that need our constant attention, creativity, compassion and openness.  We all know that once one issue, obstacle or problem is solved, right behind it rolls in another one, like waves on the ocean; the issues may seem bigger, smaller or take a different shape, but never the less, they keep coming.  What Todd so eloquently eluded to is that all we really need to change is our perspective; to change our obstacles into stepping stones on which we grow.  To be content in the action of solving, resolving or figuring out solutions while letting go of the result.  Contentment is now, not when things get better, not when we have all we think we need, it is now, in this moment.  It allows us to love all of life, opening our hearts and clearing it out of judgment as to what we consider “good” or “bad”.  Contentment allows our hearts to be at ease and turns our ignorance into knowledge.

Shanti, Om

“Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. For we are the ones we have been waiting for!”

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you well and allowing yourself time to transition into this fall season that is upon us.  Try to let go of your struggles today.  Our lives truly are a sacred expression of the love we hold  within.  The moment of sacredness is always now and is always a choice we make.  Our sadhanda (practice) teaches us that in the present moment, the abundance of the universe is available to us and we are exactly where we should be.  The more we practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, the more we can live in that sacred space that is full of compassion, wholeness and healing.  Just as the journey from the head to the heart is only one breath away, the journey from the unreal to the real is within our reach.  Stop waiting for yourself to be more, do more or have more resources available to you to live from your heart’s desire.  You are the one you have been waiting for.  You are already whole, look inside to your inner light to guide you towards your soul’s purpose focusing on completing even the most mundane of tasks as sacred celebrations.  Just as your awareness in your yoga postures should spread to every part of your body, each part equally important, allow your awareness to spread to every task, every breath, every word you speak to rest on the sacredness that is within and around you.

Greetings dear yoga students,

–

This beautiful place of refuge, meditation, prayer and, of course, homemade bread, will be closing as the brothers are no longer able to maintain the property.  The full moon labyrinth walk is something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I do not want to miss this last opportunity.   With the full moon on the rise,  it is the perfect time to walk the labyrinth.  Below is a link for more information about tonight’s event and the website which can offer you a history on labyrinths, as well as the Friary itself.    If you were planning on coming to yoga class tonight, why not join me in this beautiful practice at the Friary 7 to 9pm.

Be Self-controlled!
Give!
Be Compassionate!
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
wide forward bend
This is the true aim of yoga, this is the goal.  To learn to control the mind when it leans towards selfishness, egoism, fear and negativity.  The ultimate aim of all our yoga practices are to bring our focus inward so we realize all the peace we seek comes from our true divine nature.  A yogi feels the lack of noting, therefore, there is no need for hoarding, competition or greed.  The yogi knows all comes from and all will return to the divine source; that in our natural state we are all one.
–
Be Self-Controlled by following an ethical path. Give by coming from a place of abundance.  Be Compassionate so others can gain strength from your strong spirit.
This is the aim of yoga, these are the true goals.
