**Class Tomorrow Morning on ZOOM, no password and no charge required for all Classes this Week.  Try it and see if you like it.  Read on…**

“Yoga is a way to Freedom.  By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness”

Indra Devi

Greetings dearest yoga students,

The above quote means more to me now than ever.  As the days in social isolation linger on I feel the need to connect growing deeper each day.

So….. in an attempt to help us all to stay consistent with our practice and connection as a community , I am offering ZOOM Yoga Classes on line.  (See below for the invitation to Register for Tomorrow Morning’s class.)   This week all the classes are FREE to you to explore this modality.  Next week I will begin charging for classes, therefore, you will have to register and then you will be able to receive the password required to enter the class. This week there is no password needed as I am still learning how to do this!  If you prefer, you can access Recorded Videos for Free anytime  HERE  on my website or on my YouTube Channel HERE

Beginning next week, Live Zoom class pricing will be as follows:

Students who have a prepaid class card will receive half price classes (2 for 1) $6 each class (normally $12)

Students who do not have a prepaid class card will have to pay through Venmo  or Paypal (contact me for  paypal ) at $10 per class. (normally $15)

You can also feel free to purchase a class card at $65 for 5 (10 on line classes) or $120 for 10 (20 on line classes)

ALSO, this is a very trying time, if there are any concerns at all financially, please contact me.  No one will ever be turned away due to financial issues!  This has always been true for all my classes, in person or on line, so please do not hesitate to let me know.

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.

When: Mar 27, 2020 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us04web.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Mpce6gqzwsM7zbL74Gnv5NPsX4l6X5-Q

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.  If you prefer to have a private session for Reiki, Yoga, Meditation or Chakra Clearing, we can arrange through zoom, facetime or phone.  

Please contact me if you have any questions!  Love and Miss you all!
Shanti! Peace and Good Health to you
Amy

Yoga this Week – January 6, 2019

 

Happy New Year dear Yoga Students,

We had a wonderful time at the Kirtan last Friday night and I was amazed how free and happy I felt the next day!  The energy has stayed with me all weekend.  I was particularly taken with the moment we chanted to “our struggles” during Hari Om Tat Sat which translates as we bow to the truth of all that is sacred.  Our struggles are part of our sacred path.  Just like moving into the darkness from Autumn Equinox to Winter Solstice, it is part of the sacred cycle of our lives to move in and out and forward and back again.  Hopefully we learn to grow,  to leave behind what doesn’t serve us, take with us the lessons and honor the journey.  Here we are, beautiful yogi’s, at the start of a brand new year.  May you all and all beings find peace within your darkness and may we all honor the ever increasing light together as we travel this life together.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om!!!

 

Yoga this Week – November 11, 2018

“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

Focus on being at peace with your reality, whatever that might mean to you.  The war within quiets when you cultivate santosha – contentment; allow yourself to bloom wherever you are planted today and within whatever circumstances life finds you.

Yoga this Week – March 18, 2018

The ego is a monkey catapulting though the jungle;

Totally fascinated by the realm of the senses,

  it swings from one desire to the next,

  one conflict to the next,

  one self-centered idea to the next.

If you threaten it, it actually fears for its life.

Let this monkey go.

Let the senses go.

Let desired go.

Let conflicts go.

Let ideas go.

Let the fiction of life and death go.

Just remain in the center, watching.

Then forget that you are there.

Yoga this Week – April 1, 2017

“To have a sacred place…is an absolute necessity for anybody today.  You must have a room (or corner of a room) …, where you can simply bring forth what you are and what you might be.  This is a place of creative incubation.  At first you may find that nothing happens there, but if you have a sacred place and use it, something (wonderful) eventually will happen”
                                          Joseph Campbell
imagesss - Copy
Let’s face it, we could all use a week long retreat away from all of our demands and responsibilities but that is not always possible.  You can, however, learn to create that sacred space and retreat to it whenever you feel inclined.  Also, carving out a certain amount of time at a specific time of day can afford you the structure and discipline to find that quiet, alone time we all crave.  Whether it be 10 minutes sitting in quiet contemplation or an hour of gentle stretching, try creating a space of your own somewhere in your home.  Even if it is just a corner where you place a candle, journal or some other meaningful reminders.  Once you take the time to make this simple sacred space, you will soon wonder how you ever did without it.

Never give up.

You never know when what you are working towards is right around the corner.  Be willing to adjust, learn or go a different route but never give up.  Failure is so much a part of success and it is usually exactly what we need to push us in the right direction.  When we chant to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, we are asking for our minds to be illuminated so that the obstacle we are experiencing lights our way down the path of least resistance, the path we are meant to be on.  Open your eyes, allow your failures to set you on a course and go; and remember the wise words of Yoda, “The master has failed more times than the beginner has ever tried”
