I’m feeling back to myself and class is on for tomorrow morning. Thankfully it came and went quickly. It’s amazing how easily I can take for granted feeling good.
So for today I have so much gratitude for the little things
If it’s a beautiful morning I will be walking the Labyrinth following class if anyone wants to join me
Awaken- to Rouse from sleep. To have cause to stop sleeping
Bloom- to mature into one’s potential and shine
Nourish- to encourage and cultivate growth and abundance
Flourish- to grow in a healthy or vigorous way especially as a result of a favorable environment
Greetings dear friends,
Spring has sprung and our hearts are opening up like Lotus flowers in the morning sun. Our Spring Awakening Mini-Retreat was a beautiful expression of what can happen when our sangha comes together in community!
Together we awaken with the potential to bloom. We nourish ourselves and in turn we flourish as a community and individuals with the ability to lift each other up as well as the community at large.

Greetings my dear friends and comrads on this journey of life!
It’s been an interesting, challenging and clarifying Winter so far… but the light is returning and creativity is awakening! Like the snake sheds it’s skin it’s time to begin to shake off any heaviness accumulated and wiggle out of the old to something fresh and new.

“Now is set forth the authoritive teaching on yoga. Yoga is the ability to direct and focus mental activity. With the attainment of focused mind, the inner being establishes itself in all its reality”
Yoga Sutra of Patanjali 1:1-3
Yoga is to calm the fluctuations of the mind so you can open the door to your inner self. You know when she (your inner self) shows up because you are suddenly unafraid, calm and you engage with the moment instead of trying to grasp or push away. You will also know when your inner self is guiding you in a posture because suddenly you are unafraid, calm and you engage with the flow of the pose not clinging or pushing it away. Begin to notice when you quiet the chattering mind, even for a moment or two, you may just have the sensation that you are exactly where you are meant to be and everything and everyone in your life is as well. This is moksha…freedom.

“A community of friends becomes an extended family. These communities give us what we can call rituals of survival, ways to connect with others and hold our lives in place. No matter what age we are to be fully human we need to feel embedded in community.” Mary Pipher (excerpt from Women Rowing North)
Blessings on the Autumn Equinox!
As with nature, everything in our lives has its seasons and its cycles. It is so important to have a community where we can find grounding and support; “Rituals of survival” to hold our lives in place.
In this spirit, our Wednesday evening class will take on a new format. We will now be meeting once a month in a Woman’s Circle to practice with the feminine receptive energy of each full moon. Date will be posted each month. Spots will be limited so rsvp as soon as you can. So excited to create new themes and yoga practices for each month!

“When you truly embrace this concept of change being constant, the only thing left to do is grow, detach, venture inwards, touch the spirit and find your source — the one responsible for keeping you grounded through the ever—changing seasons of life.” Julie Weiland
