Yoga this Week – January 12, 2015

No Class this Monday Evening – Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Greetings dear yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you well and enjoying the receptive energy of this winter season. I love the term “disciplined nonconformists” that MLK so eloquently states are the “Hope of a secure and livable world”. A life of discipline (Tapas in yogic terms) affords us the freedom to operate from our higher selves, confident even when we are going against cultural norms. When we hear our inner calling, it takes persistence and faith to have the courage to follow through with what we hear, even if those around us might raise an eyebrow or fear we are going in the wrong direction. Be still, listen, be disciplined in your practices of ethical living in body, mind and spirit, which is what yoga practice is all about. Yoga is to become pure in all facets of our lives so we can act from that place of calm abiding, wisdom and love. Yoga literally means to yoke, to be self controlled, to be disciplined so we can be the ones that dare to step out into the light; for the hope of a secure and livable world lies within us.

Yoga this Week – December 27, 2014 – Special Detox Class January 3rd

December 28, 2014 amyperri2 3 Comments

~Scroll Down for schedule and upcoming events~

” The Past and the Future is a joke to me now. I see that they’re nothin’. I see they ain’t here. The only thing that’s here is you and me…..I love you. Not, not like they told you love is….[the story books are bull], love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything! It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We, we aren’t here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect. Not us! Not us!”
Ronny Cammareri, “Moonstruck”

The above quote is one of my all time favorite movie lines. We are not here to be perfect, for our lives to look flawless, to create what society’s idea of a beautiful life is. We are here to have our hearts broken a thousand times because we are meant to experience the oceans of emotions our life is full of. We are here to experience the wonder of being human; with all its hills and valleys, like the moon we continually cycle through a myriad of phases to become whole again. As we near the end of another year, embrace this truth: That loving, and being truly vulnerable in your life doesn’t always look nice and that truly living wholeheartedly means taking the risk that sometimes your heart will break; sometimes you will make a mess.

Our Yoga practice helps us remember that we are perfect just the way we are and that our lives our beautiful as they are. Within our practice we may fall down, sweat, and sometimes struggle just to bear the truth of our bodies and minds but when we get back up again and return to our mats, “We breath and something in us softens, makes space for the imperfections”. So let go of the storybook idea of how your life should look. Let go and enjoy the scenery of today. Be vulnerable, be open, allow grief, joy, success and failure, falling down and getting back up to all be part of the great tapestry that is your life. When you reach into the beauty of imperfection; the crooked tree, the moon’s craters, the clouded sky, tears in a loved one’s eyes, experience it fully, turning away from nothing that you find. The messes will be there, the heartaches will surface, the past and future are but memories and dreams, breathe it all in and find your joy in being present through it all for yourself and those around you.

New Year Detox – Saturday, January 3rd at 8:45am

December 27, 2014 amyperri2 2 Comments

New Year Detox – Saturday, January 3rd at 8:45am

Come and clear body, mind and spirit with an all levels detox flow including a guided chakra meditation and yoga nidra.

We all tend to indulge in rich foods around the holidays but detoxing is more than just physical. We also may experience emotional heaviness, grief, elation followed by sadness or just plain exhaustion with a sense of being out of balance!

Class will begin with asana infused with flowing, twisting, forward bending, and kriyas (cleansing practices) for the body, followed by a chakra clearing meditation for emotional grounding and ending with deep yogic relaxation to enliven the spirit.

Please reserve your spot as soon as possible for this special Saturday morning class. We need at least four students to sign up for class to run.

**Special Note: Please try not to eat anything heavy for at least 2 hours prior to class as we will be doing cleansing kriyas, pranayama and twisting.

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.

Yoga this Week – November 15, 2014

November 15, 2014 amyperri2 3 Comments

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.

“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!”

~ Hopi Elder Prophecy

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.

Be Self-controlled!

Give!

Be Compassionate!

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

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.
