Yoga this Week – February 2, 2015

February 2, 2015 amyperri2 1 Comment

**I am planning on class tonight but we will see how the weather pans out, let me know if you would like to come**

Dearest Yoga Students,

Hoping you are safe and warm this morning. Whatever the weather, we really do have the ability to create a positive inner shift simply by cultivating gratitude. Just coming back from the beautiful west coast of Florida, the scene outside my window is a bit of a shock! Being in gratitude in the moment is one of the best things we can do to live a most productive, love filled life. All it takes is one breath, one thought, one inner seed to be planted to change a day from black and white into a day filled with vibrant color. All it takes is an inner shift because happiness really is an inside job.

Prana, Teja and Ojas: Vital Essences of Transformation

Yoga is an inner alchemical process through which we can develop higher consciousness. We each have the capacity within us to go beyond ordinary human awareness to reach a state of Self-realization. Prana, Tejas, and Ojas support health, creativity and well-being. They provide the foundation for deeper yogic and meditational practices. We will especially focus on how to cultivate Ojas as that is the foundation on which our yoga practice rests. It is responsible for our immunity and on a deeper level, our sense of well-being or our bliss body. Ojas is directly linked with the essence of divine love within and can be cultivated through bhakti yoga and a lifestyle full of wholesome pleasures.

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.

Yoga this Week – November 2, 2014

November 2, 2014 amyperri2 1 Comment

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.

The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots …

we’re already tied in knots.
The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts.
The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.”

– Max Strom

Yoga helps us to “untie the knots” not only in our overworked, overstressed bodies but also in the parts of our hearts that we seemed to have closed. Focus your attention on this “ultimate, loving and peaceful power in the universe” and let it calm, soothe and give you the courage and strength to untie, unwind and open up the flood gates of your hearts. When the heart chakra is open and free, we have the ability to love and be loved, unconditionally, and there is absolutely no greater force than that in this world or beyond.

Await the auspicious moment when one will be free from pleasure and pain, desire and a sense of worldly gain–since, attention should be on the perfection of means and not the end, which is bound to follow if the means are perfected. To accomplish this one should scrupulously observe all aspect of sadacara

(The Yamas which are right conduct — non-violence, truthfullness, non-stealing, moderation and non-greed)

Ravindra Kumar

Avalon Yoga Hike

Be gentle with yourself and others as you strive to walk this road less traveled remembering that we truly cannot become enlightened beings by simply sitting on a meditation cushion, doing yoga poses or reading spiritual material; WE MUST ADHERE TO AN ETHICAL PRACTICE if we are to move forward in our journey back home to our true selves and do the work we were meant to do in this lifetime. When our intention is pure, our paths will become illuminated like moonlight on a dark night and others will follow your example. Allow yourself to take risks, be willing to be vulnerable; there is a song in your heart waiting to be sung and in walking the true and right path you will find inside you the ability to give yourself fully to your unique, beautiful style of music that lives inside your soul.

**No Monday Night Class this week – Make sure you scroll down for some wonderful offerings this month!**

“Again and again ~ Return like Mountain ~ Release like Ocean ~ Relax like Sky ~And Rest ~ Rest in the Heart of Pure Awareness” Living Buddha

Greetings dear yoga students,

This quote reminds me that there is a need for us to keep coming back again and again to rest in our true selves. However, to balance our energies we must seek different modalities to meet our ever changing needs; sometimes we need to relax like the sky, be still like a mountain or release the past like the ocean. Tune in to exactly what you may be needing today. Draw upon the power of nature to nurture you and give you what you need. As the season transitions to shorter days and longer nights, you may feel your energy, mood and mind shifting so try and adjust your daily round to help you be true to yourself. In this way we begin to live in the natural rhythms of nature, returning again to rest in the awareness of the heart and what truly matters in your life.

**The regular Wednesday class is replaced this week with Restorative Yoga and Acupuncture – Still two spots open**

“Mother Ganges teaches us that if we want to attain the sea of our aspiration, we must persevere in our goal and never be discouraged by the inevitable obstacles that come on our path. All impediments are like rocks in the river of life. We should flow around them and never give up. With the Lord’s help, there is always a way.”

Excerpt from “The Journey Home” by Radhanath Swami

Dearest Yoga Students,

One of my favorite teachers, Rolf Gates used to say, “The obstacles in our path, are our path”, and I believe this to be true. Yoga is about relationship and connection. Today explore your relationship to the rocks in the river of your life. How you think about your obstacles and the energy you bring to your actions as you relate to them, has everything to do how you “flow around them”. Today as my husband and I literally got lost in the trails in the woods, we reminded each other (in between glares of confusion) to enjoy the journey of being lost. As the sound of the road became louder and we knew we were almost back, I contemplated the fact that we are never really lost, we are never really off the path and that the detours, obstacles and the “not knowing” are usually the most beautiful parts of our journey. So persevere today and avoid becoming discouraged. With the help of the divine source that is vibrating all around us, there is always a way.

Yoga this Week -September 28, 2014

September 29, 2014 amyperri2 2 Comments

So Much Happiness

It is difficult to know what to do with so much happiness.
With sadness there is something to rub against,
A wound to tend with lotion and cloth.
When the world falls in around you, you have pieces to pick up,
Something to hold in your hands, like ticket stubs or change.

But happiness floats.
It doesn’t need you to hold it down.
It doesn’t need anything.
Happiness lands on the roof of the next house, singing,
And disappears when it wants to.
You are happy either way.
Even the fact that you once lived in a peaceful tree house
And now live over a quarry of noise and dust
Cannot make you unhappy.
Everything has a life of its own,
It too could wake up filled with possibilities
Of coffee cake and ripe peaches,
And love even the floor which needs to be swept,
The soiled linens and scratched records….

Since there is no place large enough
To contain so much happiness,
You shrug, you raise your hands, and it flows out of you
Into everything you touch. You are not responsible.
You take no credit, as the night sky takes no credit
For the moon, but continues to hold it, and to share it,
And in that way, be known.

~ Naomi Shihab Nye ~

One of yoga’s most beautiful niyamas (ethical practices to cultivate) is Santosha or Contentment. With Santosha, there is less doing and more a sitting with, a being present for, a quiet contemplation to look around and be content in the moment, in this very moment. Today notice how many times you might sabotage your contentment. Sometimes we worry that things are too good, that it won’t last. Sometimes we think we should do more, be more or get more. Be aware of when you feel content today and allow yourself the joy and peace that cultivating santosha brings, however fleeting or far between,
