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.

“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”
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!

“Isn’t life grand? With all its beauty, hardships and craziness, isn’t life itself an amazing, wild ride?”, my big brother said as he almost squeezed the very breath out of me with his engulfing bear hug. We laughed as we continued to compare life to a big pot of stew with all its flavors intermingling creating a delicious, hardy meal that satisfies the soul, and wished each other well as we went on our separate ways. The little whisper of his wisdom stayed with me overnight into this morning. Life IS grand, with all its twists and turns, it is still a beautiful journey to be both respected and cherished like a ride up a scenic mountain highway; at times scary, at times exciting, at times distasteful, at times calm or breathtakingly beautiful. Cherish your life today, cherish the fathers that are in your life as well as beyond this life. Be present to the unique flavor of today, be compassionate, be humble, be aware of the river of awareness that runs just under the surface of things that whispers…”Isn’t Life Grand?”…

Dearest Yoga Students,
Hoping this moment finds you consciously breathing and accepting gratefully all that surrounds you. Whether you accept your present circumstances graciously or with a heavy heart, acceptance is the key that unlocks the door to serenity. It is my intention that as you dive deeper and deeper into your yoga practice, you too begin to find the spiritual foundation that yoga is built on. Allow the feelings of gratitude and loving kindness that arise during your practice to become your “prayer” of devotion to that universal energy that works through all things including you.

“The Phoenix rises from the ashes of the past. You, too, can recreate yourself and make a fresh start. You can experience a Brilliant Breakthrough. That is this Full Moon’s message.”
Hatha Yoga
Ha – Sun Tha – Moon Yoga – to connect
Hatha Yoga is to connect and balance the elements of the sun and moon that lies within us. In the early morning hours there was a full moon lunar eclipse. This astrological event is both mysterious and powerful. The energy of the full moon reminds us that we are complete, whole and abundant exactly as we are. As the full moon reflects the brillance of the sun, our energetic, powerful “Ha”, sun element shines through and lights up our receptivity “tha” moon energy. The sun and moon are deeply connected as is illustrated as the earth moves in front of the sun and changes the color of the white moon to a dark red filtering a small amount of sunlight on its surface. This ha and tha energy within us are deeply connected as well.
The full moon reminds us that all that has occured within our lives in the last month has led up to this moment. It is a time to sit back, watch, allow and let it all be. There are times for action in our lives and a time to let go. Within our asana practice there are times of expending great effort to release energy, wake up our bodies and quiet our minds. There are also times when we hold the pose, release in relaxation, sit still, let go and trust the process. This ebb and flow, giving and receiving creates the balance we so long for in our lives. We simply cannot hold on to pleasure or force pain to go away, try as we might, we must accept as best we can the process. Just as the moon cannot possibly hold on to its fullness or emptiness, we must let go and allow our lives to unfold; trusing the phases of waining, waxing and fullness to bring us to wholeness again.
