Greetings dearest yoga students,

The above quote states exactly the lesson I learned on my adventure to the beautiful and remote mountains of Costa Rica; Trust, Relax….Repeat!    As i was voyaging down the mighty Colorado River in nothing more than a tire tube, I was given a lesson on how to relax and let go.  You see there were periods of calm, pooling water where I could just relax and enjoy the scenery but these serene moments were mixed with   wild, rough,whitewater rapids that were exciting, scary and exhilarating.   However, the moment that a rapid was approaching and I felt my body tense and my chest start pumping in fear, a  gentle but firm hand came and held the back of my life vest.  Unbeknownst to me, guides were swimming behind me steering and supporting me through the roaring  rapids.  As soon as I began to trust that invisible hand, I completely relaxed and enjoyed the ride.  I am trying to infuse this lesson moment by moment as I walk through my life.  When I feel my body tense and my chest start pumping in fear, I remember there is always a gentle but firm hand guiding me and supporting me even if I cannot see it, I can tune and and FEEL it; as I learn to trust, I relax and when I relax, I am able to give that beautiful serenity to those around me.  Trust, relax…repeat!!

Greetings and Happy Earth Day!

What  a beautiful day to honor Mother Earth.   Spring has finally sprung!  All we need to do is look around to know that where we walk is truly sacred.   As Thich Nhat Hanh so eloquently put it “Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet”.   Offer gratitude to our amazing planet by nurturing it, honoring it and enjoying it!  Get your hands in the sweet dirt, walk barefoot on the morning grass, lay down in mid-day and stare up at the sky and ponder how wonderful this world is.  Jai Jagadambe!

Join us as we send out positive energy into a world that so desperately needs it. Amy on Harmonium and Jim percussion will lead original compositions of sacred chants meant to clear the mind, body and spirit of clutter and negative energy. Chanting (or simply being present and listening) connects us not only to each other as community but is said to call down powerful spiritual energy to connect us to a power beyond this world. Chanting is healing, uplifting and meditative. No vocal or chanting experience necessary. All are welcome!! Let go of your inhibitions and tap into the divine flow of sacred Chant!

$25 per person as well as a non-perishable item for donation to those in need.
