Its hard for me to take in the fact that next week will be our 10th Annual Winter Solstice Gathering! Ten years of having all of your amazing energies in the yoga room to share this auspicious time of year. This is one of my favorite gatherings and one I truly treasure. It not only celebrates the wonderful return of the sun but also honors the connection we have to each other in this community of like minded people. We come to our mats from all corners of life and various transitional stages. We come to our classes, not only to empower our connection to our selves but, sometimes more importantly, to connect and help empower each other! Just your presence and persistence in showing up inspires and is a true power of example to others, including me. The room if filling up, please rsvp if you plan on coming next week, Thursday, December 21st 7 to 9pm. Click on the link for details. And remember to dress sparkly, festive and fun!! https://myyogawithamy.com/eventsworkshops/

This will be a interactive group meeting once a month. Details to follow. Let me know if this interests you.

Dearest Yoga Students,
Many changes continue to take place in all of our lives. Some welcome and some not so welcome, however, I have found they always do lead to an opening, a shift that takes shape and becomes something new and wonderful to explore. Our yoga practice helps us to learn to meet changes head on with steadiness and ease. We can take a breath, hold our pose with tenderness and watch the changes take place. Yoga teaches us that our lives, our bodies and our minds are malleable, shapeable and that we are never stuck. We can grow, adapt and become more courageous than we ever thought we could when we let go of fear and walk through that doorway of change.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson

“Your life is a sacred journey. It is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way….And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love” .
~~Caroline Adams
Returning home from an adventurous weekend, I am reminded of the great power in being still, being challenged, being opened and being free. Stepping out of our comfort zone, whether it is to sit on a meditation cushion, step on to our yoga mats, climb a mountain or open ourselves up to another, helps to expand our “vision of what is possible” in our lives. Life itself is the greatest journey we will ever take. It is an adventure into the unknown forest of emotions, into the complexity of our minds, the amazing resilience of our bodies, the flowing energy of relationships and most importantly, an adventure into that deep inner wellspring of compassion and love from which all magnificent tales of triumph are born.


What we’re trying to do in yoga is to create a union, and so to deepen a yoga pose is to actually increase the union of the pose, not necessarily put your leg around your head.
~Rodney Yee
Each time we come to our mats, we have a chance to explore interconnection. We begin with our breath and move into our bodies, but it doesn’t stop there. As we create connection with a pose, we adjust, consider, explore, become present and breathe into the experience. We soften into the edges of the pose and watch them dissolve as we flow moment to moment; this might very well lead you to “put your leg around your head” Integration, alignment and breath leads you deeper into your body, into the mystery. As you move into this day, feel into the energy around you. Integrate, align and breath within the moments and see if you can increase the most important connection of all; the present.

**No Tuesday Morning Class this Week**

We can either let our thoughts pull us in different directions like wind blows a leaf at will or we can stop and be the still point like a tree, standing firm as the turbulence moves around and through us. We cannot stop the mind, just like we can’t control people, places or things around us, but we can choose to be the calm force amidst the changing winds. Meditation teaches us to “be still and know”, becoming still allows us to see our thoughts with clarity so when we leave our practice we have a better sense of who we are and what is really important to us. These truths lie beneath habitual thought patterns, stilling your body, focusing on your breath is like going underneath the water to discover that an entire new world exists beneath the surface.. A world that lives within you. A world that is calm, focused and knows exactly how to be in this sometimes confusing environment of the mind.

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”
