**See Below for New Yoga Sutra Study Group Beginning in February**

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.

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!!!

“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!

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.

Greetings dearest yoga students,

It has been an honor and a pleasure be part of  The Long Island Yoga Association as  presenter, contributor and student. This amazing organization  began 29 years ago in response to a need for yoga students and teachers to have a community for connection, study and sangha.  Due to yoga’s rise in popularity, yoga studios and workshops are more than bountiful and LIYA just could not sustain itself.  All things must pass and I am in profound gratitude for all the Long Island Yoga Association had done over the years and for  igniting my forever growing love of yoga in all of its forms.   Click on the link below to read the article I wrote for LIYA’s last newsletter.
