Greetings Yoga Enthusiasts,

It has been a whirlwind of a summer so far.  I hope you are taking it all in and being with each moment as it comes, embracing the shifts and changes, floating and moving with the ever changing tides of your life.

Our book talk was both enlightening and fun.  Thank you to those who came with insights, laughter and honesty.  It was so much fun!!  We are planning to do another group book read after the New Year.

Pool Yoga was a Huge Hit

Greetings dearest yoga students,

To really understand yoga, you must experience it.  Looking at pictures of exotic poses, studying spiritual texts or reading inspirational quotes is not where true wisdom comes from.  It is only from experiencing the power of something yourself that you begin to know it and act from it.  Consider the power of the ocean, the energy of an amazing sunset or a soul-stirring musical performance; you can admire it in pictures and read about it all you want but you will never know the trans-formative power unless you experience it first hand.  Looking forward to seeing you in class this week to be in “experience” with you as we explore the essence of our yoga practice one breath at a time.

Hoping this email finds you well.  The pull and the tug are everything.  We can learn so much from our yoga asana practice when we go deeper than the surface pose.  The tension, the pull and the tug in a posture creates the open lines of energy we are seeking.  The grounding down to rise up and hugging in to shine out are what life is all about.  Life is not about being free of struggle or tension but about the energy and strength that are created in the midst of it all.

Happy Father’s Day to all!  What a wonderful day to celebrate those wonderful beings we are blessed to call Fathers.  I know I have had one wonderful dad by birth but there have been a number of other “fathers” throughout my life that I honor and send gratitude to.  Some our relatives or friends but also there are those that have been father’s from a distance, either in books, songs, poems or classes.  Allow gratitude to fill your heart today and every day for all the fathers in your life.

Here’s my favorite “Father’s Day” song by Cat Stevens, click on the link to enjoy!!

A Walk on the Beach: Tales of Wisdom From an Unconventional Woman

Greetings dearest yoga friends,

Its amazing but here we are at summer’s edge again.  Looking forward to our first Beach Yoga Class tomorrow night at 7pm down at Broadway Beach.  We are truly blessed to be surrounded with such beauty within our neighborhoods and shorelines here on the beautiful North Shore.

As I was sifting through used books at a thrift store the other day, I came across a book I thought would be a great group reading experience for this summer.  We had such a wonderful discussion when we read “Gift from the Sea” a few summers ago that I wanted to try it again and this title caught my eye.  It talks about the relationship that took shape between famous author and wife of Erik Erickson, Joan Erickson (a woman in her 90’s) and Joan, the author of the book.  It seems like a quick read that’s filled with lots of quotes, insights and inspiration.

Click on the link, take a look at it and see if you would like to read it with us.  I saw its available on Amazon for as little as $5.  the library may have it as well.  Let me know if you are interested and I can see how many copies I get.

May there be peace and peace and perfect peace everywhere!!!

Shanti!

Amy
