Yoga this Week – August 25, 2014

August 25, 2014 amyperri2 4 Comments

Greetings dearest yoga students,

I have gained so much from B.K.S. Iyengar’s teachings over the course of my yoga studies that my gratitude overflows for his wisdom, may he rest in peace!! The study of yoga is a lifetime pursuit that never ends but continually grows deeper. The teachings of yoga stimulate my intellect and ignite my creativity as well as allowing me to persevere in “maintaining a balanced attitude and abiding in”skillful action” the duties I must perform in my life. I am doubly blessed to have found this amazing path and to have the honor of passing it on to all of you!

**Beach Yoga Tomorrow Morning at 8:45am***

“It is the wilderness in
the mind, the desert wastes in the heart through which one wanders lost and a stranger. When one is a
stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one
cannot touch others.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

Namaste dear yoga students,

What a wonderful discussion ensued around the Gift from the Sea at our book discussion at Cedar Beach Friday night. It is amazing how yogic wisdom is weaved throughout this precious body of work. The central themes rotating around the need for solitude and creative pursuits in order to find your inner self as well as the importance in accepting and embracing changes in relationships and within ourselves. If you haven’t gotten a chance to read it, I would highly recommend it. As someone said in our discussion; as soon as you open the book and begin reading, it creates a calm flow of energy inside of you, both within the imagery of the beach and the beautiful, poetic rhythm of her words. Hoping to do another book discussion in the future. Thank you to all who attended for the conversation, insights, laughter and connection. Oh and special thanks to the Gift from the Sea!

“These three elements knows as Kriya Yoga, help us detoxify the body, nurture the senses and purify the mind…”

Pandit Rajmani Tigunait

The Three Pillars of Yoga

Tapas: Discipline

Svadhayaya: Study of the self and of Spiritual Texts

Ishvara Pranidhana: Devotion and Surrender to the Divine

Greetings dear yoga students,

What a gift to be able to retreat from our worldly life and dive in to yoga’s spiritual teachings. Over the next few weeks, I hope to be able to shed some light on each of the three pillars of yoga stated above. These three pillars are part of yoga’s ethical practices known as Niyamas and are the second limb of the Eight Limb Path. Niyamas are personal observances and give us the tools to lead a happy, joyful , well-balanced life. These three observances in particular are highlighted in the Yoga Sutras as Kriya Yoga. The Sanskrit word, Kriya, means to take action; so Kriya Yoga is the yoga of action. By concentrating on these principles and discovering where you may need to take action in your life (making a plan) the ancient masters tell us we will discover a more fulfilling, joyful life and also create the fertile ground for our life’s purpose and deepest desires to become manifest.

Beach Yoga Tomorrow Morning 8:45am – Beech Road Beach in Rocky Point – click on link for more info http://www.MyYogaWithAmy.com

“Through practice, I’ve come to see that the deepest source of my misery is not wanting things to be the way they are. Not wanting myself to be the way I am. Not wanting the world to be the way it is. Not wanting others to be the way they are. Whenever I’m suffering, I find this ‘war with reality’ to be at the heart of the problem.”

Stephen Cope

Greetings dear yoga students,

Welcome to another glorious day. As you meander through your daily round, think about something you may be “at war” with in your own life. Living life on life’s terms is not an endeavor for the faint hearted. As humans, we seem to always want to fix things or create fantasies and repeat mantras like; “if only things were different then I could be happy”. True inner contentment only comes from within. We must make the decision to be happy now. Now is all we have. This moment, this day, this family, this body, this home, this job, this stretch of 24 hours to live our life. Cultivate acceptance with whatever or whoever is in your life today. Be the one that brings serenity to your interactions and act with your heart on situations that seem to baffle you. Try and do more reflection that reaction and you may find, things are exactly as they should be. Relax, let go and focus today on being at peace with reality. The war within quiets when you cultivate Santosha – contentment; allow yourself to bloom wherever you are planted, within whatever circumstances life finds you.

Tuesday Morning 930am with 11am meditation to follow

Yoga this Week – July 13, 2014

July 14, 2014 amyperri2 3 Comments

“We will only discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people’s models,

learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.”

Shaki Gawain

Svadhyaya

The fourth Niyama (or observance) in the Eight Limb Path of yoga is the study of the self.

Like so many yoga practices, svadhyaya is the process of getting to know who we really are; our true self. Yoga asana, pranayam, and meditation are all ways to peel off the layers of our false selves. Doing this and staying present to the process is not always easy. As we peel the layers and really look at our exposed wounds, memories, conditionings and patterns, we may feel more confused and defeated than when we began. Trust the process and turn again and again to those spiritual teachers that came before us. They are there to guide us; in books, in music, in our dreams, our prayers or maybe sitting right across from us at work, home or in our communities. As we work to let go of others (or even our own) ideas of who we should be, the more open and compassionate to our own “particular genius” we can become and the more our “natural channels” to the divine open and our dharma (life’s purpose) is revealed.

Summer Yoga Group Book Read – Gifts From The Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I have requested 8 copies of the book to be held for me and I should have them this week. Let me know if you would like me to hold one for you. If you have your own copy, pull it down, dust it off and begin. It is a perfect summer book to read again and again. We will discuss where and when we will meet to contemplate this treasured classic.

Beginning August 6th I will be leading an all-levels Yoga Class at the North Shore Public Library on Wednesday mornings at 10am for the month of August. Registration begins on August 1st. If anyone of you are interested in demonstrating for me, let me know. It would be much appreciated!!! Also at the North Shore Public Library this Saturday, Kishori (Kim) begins her Ayurvedic Series! There may still be room for this informative three-session presentation.

Classes down at the beach have been lovely. I welcome lots of new faces and am enjoying being on our beach twice a week. Continue to check the website if the weather looks questionable as Wednesday classes will be held in our yoga room if beach is not accessible.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om!

Be at Peace, you are already perfect exactly the way you are!

Greetings dearest yoga students,

I love summer. I love diving in, breathing the air, feeling the warm shining sun on my face. I love embracing the cool breeze and the tingaling feeling of salt on my skin hours after a dip in the sea. I love the energy in myself and I can feel it in those around me. Today’s kayaking adventure included all of these things and more. I am so very blessed to do the work that I love in this lifetime. To be around such wonderful open-minded people embracing natures beauty not only sharing an adventurous journey across the water, but an inspiring yoga class on an island while collectively raising funds for our local soup kitchen was truly a gift. The water, sun, air, sky, birds, sand were all part of our practice. When a student came up to me and said “Amy, you have truly found your dharma, this is your life’s work”, it filled me with such joy and awe. Work? I smiled and laughed to myself because I really never feel like any of these classes, events, sangha’s, are work!! (Although I must say, I will sleep deep tonight!) Thank you all for your continued dedication to your yoga practice and to this community that continues to grow. Thank you all for allowing me to live my dharma by brining this ancient practice of yoga in all its forms to new and continuing students. And thank you for being the open, receptive, loving and supportive people that yogi’s are known to be. Sat Nam, A deep, loving bow to you all!!

Yoga & Kayaking Adventure Tomorrow Morning!

June 28, 2014 amyperri2 4 Comments

Greetings adventurous ones.

Follow this link for directions and details but please read below.

Events & Workshops

If you are planning to attend, please try and arrive early so that we can meet on the sand by the dock at 10am. The rental facility opens at 9am, so if you are renting please give yourself sufficient time. The rental facility is just a short 2 minute paddle to the beach by the dock where we are shooting for a 10am meet up so you would want to be in your boat before 10.

For those of you who are bringing your own boats; the rental facility told me they will allow us to park the overflow of cars in their lot, so if you arrive and do not find parking at the dock, go to the rental facility and tell them you are with the Yoga and Kayaking group. There are limited number of legal parking spots on the dock so be careful.

If you are NOT renting, you MUST BRING YOUR OWN LIFE VEST and have proper equipment. If you rent, they will give you everything you need. Don’t forget to bring lunch or snacks, drink, sunscreen, towel and/or yoga mat and exact change for the $15 fee.

Looking forward to water, sun, sand, air, and lots and lots of open space to share together in Sangha!!

Any questions, email me! YogaWithAmy@optonline.net

Jai!!
