Sangha
Teach me what I cannot learn alone.
Let us share what we know, and what
we cannot fathom. Speak to me of
mysteries , and let us never lie to one another
May our fierce and tender longing
fuel the fire in our souls. When we
stand side by side, let us dare to focus
our desire on the truth. May we be
reminders, each for the other, that
the path of transformation passes
through the flames.
To take one step is courageous;
to stay on the path day after day,
choosing the unknown, and facing
yet another fear, that is nothing
short of grace.

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

Possibilities abound as long as you believe, let go of fear and dive in
(A Whisper To my doll)
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.

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.

Greetings yoga enthusiasts,
The Teen Yoga Class I was offering through the Rocky Point Community Education has been delayed until the Spring Session. If your teen was interested in attending, please contact me. If I have enough interest, I will hold a four class session at my studio Thursdays, (11/20, 12/4, 12/11 & 12/18) at 5pm. We would need a minimum of six students. Enjoy the leaves…
Shanti, Om
Amy
