Hari Om Dear Yoga Students, “Santosha, or the practice of contentment, is the ability to feel satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience” Donna Farhi Feeling satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience means to meet the present moment with a fresh perspective and open up to everything it has to offer. Satisfaction combines the energies of acceptance and gratitude. Contentment is not based on what you think you need to be satisfied, but more a sense of gratitude for what you already have. The ability to feel satisfied within the container of your immediate experience comes when you allow your expectations to fade and your perceptions to clear enabling you to become empty of past impressions; this is the practice of yoga, this is the practice of Santosha.

Yoga this Week – July 5, 2015
*Please Note this week’s Friday Morning Class will begin at 9am (30 minutes earlier)**
Greetings dearest yoga students,
Yoga practice is about being aware. We connect to our bodies, minds and breath so we can be aware and present to what is happening internally; to the places we need to empower, the places we need to open and the places we need to protect. Therefore, our yoga is about learning about ourselves. We study the self so we can better understand why we do the things we do so we can let go of the what is not our true nature. We learn what actions brings us closer to our higher self and the things that take us further away. We acquire the patience to be with difficult sensations, whether they are emotional, physical or mental, so the interactions can teach us what we need to know to move us along our path. “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know”, so embrace your challenges with the pose of the Warrior and stand your ground, be open and embrace the lessons, for they are gifts that come wrapped in the most unlikely packages.

“Attention is the most basic form of love.”
~ John Tarrant Roshi
Give attention to the things that are important to you as well as realizing when you are squandering your precious moments on trivialities. If the most basic form of love is attention, give it to yourself, give it to those around you, give it to the thoughts that empower you and set you free!!

Yoga this Week – May 16, 2015 – Wednesday Night Class Switched to Thursday Night this Week!!
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,
Have faith in your practice and the ability of your yoga to calm, nurture, enliven and release. When we move our panic energy our practice through breath work, postures, chanting, and/or meditation we effect not only our physical bodies, but our emotional bodies as well. Moving prana (life force energy) within ourselves allows us to be more open, more willing, more free to connect to that universal prana that is available for the taking and connects us to all beings everywhere. In essence, it allows us to show up for ourselves and for others in our life. Trust your yoga to move through you, all you have to do is show up and be present. Your Yoga mat will catch you if you fall.

A Blessed Mother’s Day to all! I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I have. Remember that although cultural holidays are “supposed” to be happy and joyful, they often also come with a fair amount of sadness or grief for what used to be, what we hoped would be or for who we have lost along the way. Allow yourself to feel your feelings as much as possible. Happiness and Sorrow are both different ends of the same stick. Have compassion and gratitude for those around you as we honor the great mothers that surround us as well as inside of us.
May you find peace and serenity in knowing you are loved!!

“Detachment is simply letting go of all you hold fast to in your mind. It doesn’t actually mean losing anything, simply changing your relationship with the things in your life today. The greatest pleasure for every soul comes as a result of choosing detachment. Why? Because attachment is a form of slavery that takes place in our own minds. And the result of detachment? Real freedom”

**Please NOTE that Evening Classes require a minimum of a four to sign up prior to 5pm day of class for it to run***
The art of detachment is the practice of showing up, doing your best and letting go of the results acknowledging the basic truth that everything in life has its perfect moment. It is the realization that if we do not get what we want (even if it seems like the perfect job, perfect person, perfect place, perfect opportunity, etc.) that there is probably a better time for that situation to materialize in our lives or more often than not, it may be something that is never supposed to happen at all. When we truly are able to detach from the outcome we release the dissapointment, anger or inadaquacy we feel when things don’t turn out as we thought they should. Thinking we will find our happiness in someone or something outside ourselves is only an atempt to gratify our senses and satisfy the ego which can never truly be satified. Acting from a place of attachment and clinging is acting from fear.
–
The opposite of fear is faith. So in contrast, the art of letting go actually allows you to access the peace of mind you seek. We can learn to live and let live, look at closed doors as opportunities and learn trust our spiritual guides to take us where we need to be. When we make decisions from a truly detached place; from a place of calm abiding, wisdom and love, we set the inner spirit free to move us toward all that is good, true, right and lovely in our lives.
