Yoga this Week – January 28, 2018

“Life is a Learning Curve” is the quote my 19 year old snowboarding, drumming, stay-up-all-niter college freshman decided to get tattooed on his inner forearm next to the autism puzzle piece in honor of his older brothers journey navigating life on the spectrum.

Image may contain: one or more people and closeup

These days we have a habit of saying that quote often when we come up against something new, hard, difficult, exciting or confusing. Life IS a learning curve. Do we ever stop learning? Transitions, pain, sorrow, winning, defeat, even success all have a learning curve at their core and what make up a growing life.  After all, wouldn’t the drive just be a tedious ride if all the roads were straight? It really are those curves that drive us forward, empowering and creating empathy, compassion and resilience as we tackle each one.   Like waves on the ocean the learning will keep rolling in. Some of the waves will be easy,  rolling gently and slowly onto the shore and some will crash us right from behind and slam us down on our backs. It’s all a learning, a moving forward, through and back and forth again.   Whenever you hear that inner critic or that debilitating fear rise up” that tells you “you can’t handle this” try and repeat the mantra “Life is a Learning Curve” ; tattoo it on your arm if you need to and remind yourself you are not supposed to have all the answers and that learning is gives your life meaning your your heart a chance soar.

Dear Yoga Students,

Hoping you are in the process of creating a happy life for yourself in this promising season of beginnings.  This life is fleeting; take a risk, let yourself run free for a while.  Be our own best friend and encourage, compliment and cheer yourself on.  If you work on making yourself happy and content, you won’t have any desire to judge anyone else or even yourself.

Yoga this Week – January 14, 2018

Greetings dear Yoga Students,

We are all moving forward,whether we fly, run, walk or crawl.  We can resist the pull of the future or we can choose to join in the dance.  Our yoga practice is a guide for skillful living.  It is a guide designed to free from the trappings of the mind.    We are moving, we are changing, things will never be this way again.To resist is only to deny the truth of our very existence.  Try to love the journey, the challenges, empty spaces and busy days.  Keep your dreams in sight and whatever you do, keep moving forward!!!

Happy New Year!! Yoga this Week – January 1, 2018

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance”  Alan Watts

Happy New Year and Many Blessings for 2018!  Change is inevitable, sometimes it is a welcome change and sometimes things change without our permission.  Take some time today to pause, reflect and breathe into what is flowing in and out of your life.  Just like the Solstice Sun reaches its peak, pauses and reverses its direction shedding more light on our lives little by little, we too need to pause and have patience “everything that remains unsolved in your heart” and when we are ready, clear and calm, plunge in and dance!

Yoga this Week & Winter Solstice, December 17, 2017

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one
fainting robin unto his nest again I shall not live in vain.
~ Emily Dickinson

The message in the above quote is powerful and simple;   Emerge from your own suffering and be of service in any small way and your life will have meaning and your heart will be full.  I take this opportunity to thank all of you for allowing me to be a small part of all your lives. Each time one of you expresses their gratitude for this humble space I have created, I am filled with the knowledge that I am being used for something bigger than I can even realize; even if in very small ways.    I cannot express enough how blessed I feel to have the opportunity to use this ancient system of yoga to “ease one life the aching or cool one pain” even if it is just the short time we spend together in class
Never doubt what any small act of kindness can accomplish.  Live from you heart, experience the light the shines inside and reflect the brightness on to another giving them the opportunity to connect with the light they too have within. Most of all, I sincerely hope you enjoy this journey from the darkness into light and receive within your gifts of the holidays, more love than your heart can hold!

Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year and the first day of Winter.  As we journey deeper into the darkness the promise of light abounds.  Our winter holidays are festivals of light.  We celebrate the light within and around us.  We honor the warm light of those that are close to us as we come together as one:;  one voice, one breath,  one mindful purpose of giving and receiving peace, love and joy. Chanting, Intention Setting, Group Poses, Sangha Social….  Prior reservations required.  If you have reserved your spot, please let me know if your plans have changed!  ($10 Suggested Donation and a small dish to share)
