“What’s Done is Done”

Shakespeare

Happy New Year Dearest Yoga Students,

Do not allow yourself to get stuck in the past.  What has happened is already gone.  Like the wake of a boat, it is behind you and does not have to define or determine the direction you will take.  Let go and allow what has happened to shape your future on its own.  Everything that has happened has led you to this moment.    You cannot change the past, you can look and learn but in the end you must let go and set your sights on the future.  Although the future is there wide open for anyone to change, we have a tendency to hang on to the unfulfilled wish to change the past and live with the mantra, “If only”… this simply is wasted energy.  What’s done is done…. direct your energy to the future: meditate in the present,  make plans, set intentions, transform your intentions into actions and let go of anything holding you back from creating the life you were meant to live….YOU are the one you’ve been waiting for!

Yoga this Week – December 28, 2015 – Special De-Tox Class Sunday, Jan 3rd

 anjali mudra in lotusMay we have eyes to see the divinty amoung us
May we have ears to hear truth
May we have bodies to feel both the pleasure and the pain
May we have hearts that give and receive an infinite amount of love
and may  gratitude fill you everyday of the New Year!

Celebrate, dream and allow the empty pages of the year ahead be filled with a vision of hope, happiness, fufillment and abundance for yourself and your life.  The secret art of abundance is simple:  Cultivate contentment by truly seeing how much you already have.   Take some time before the clock strikes midnight on Thursday to reflect on the past year and honor the lessons you have learned and the people that brought them to you.  Whether the lessons were full of grief,  joy, empowerment,  acceptance, perserverence or undconditional love, they were brought to you for reasons that may be beyond your human understanding.   Be gentle with yourself and others by responding with compassion and non-judgemental acceptance; try to live the questions as our journey of self-discovery never ends but only grows deeper as hours turn into days and days turn into years and years turn into a life well lived.

 BeachYogaSep16-19

Classes for this Week

 Tuesday Morning at 930am with Meditation

 Sunday Morning 9am DETOX NEW YEAR YOGA!!!

(Please Reserve your spot or cancel if your plans have changed)

I wish you love, peace and contentment in this New Year and always.  Choose to see all that is divine in you and others as you move through your days.  Feel your connectedness, know you are being led and sometimes carried, give of whatever you possess and your life will have meaning and your heart will be full.

“You can look at every single problem in your life as an opportunity for some greater benefit;

you stay alert to opportunities by being grounded in the wisdom of uncertain,

so when your preparedness meets opportunity,  the solution will spontaneous appear.” 

Deepak Chopra

  images (19)

Dear yoga Students,

My wish for you on this beautiful Monday morning is that you find yourself feeling grounded in in the wisdom of uncertainly surrounding yourself in peace.   The wisdom of uncertainty is based in the reality that we are merely floating through space and time, traveling to  unknown shores.   It is relinquishing our perceived control and going with the flow of our lives, open to possibility at all times.  When we get stuck in trying to control, we become attached to outcomes and instead of being open to possibilities, we become closed and miss the very solution that is presenting itself.  Grounding yourself in the wisdom of uncertainty, allows you to be free to explore, create and be spontaneous.  These are the true gifts of being alive.

 Whether you are trying to balance in a yoga pose, sit on your meditation cushion, or enjoying a holiday if your trying to achieve perfection, it will only elude you,  create judgments, increase stress and take you away from the very energy you desire.  Instead breathe into the possibly of just being and see what arisises.   Stay open, flow and float, enjoy the moment and find the serenity and excitement  that comes from resting in the field of uncertainty.

om in the lotus

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley

 

Hari Om Dear Yoga Students,

Look around you this morning. Take in the sights and smells of Fall. Breathe in that energy and allow your life to be enough. Call to mind all you have been given. All the blessing and hardships; even trials and tribulations are gifts in disguise. The obstacles in our path allow us to move deeper into our human experience which humbles us enough to be able to reach out for help.  Witnessing all the beautiful outreach these past few weeks is an amazing testament to the power of compassion in action.

Dark times can have the ability to move us away from the material into the spiritual; drawing us nearer to the divine source that carries us through the days when we simply cannot walk on our own. Experiencing the light within the dark (yin and yang) we come to the realization that Santosha (contentment) becomes possible no matter what circumstances surround us right now.

“In this lovely season when the dance of surrender is obvious, we find large spaces left where something beautiful once lived. As one by one the leaves let go, a precious emptiness appears in the trees.  The naked beauty of the branches can be seen; the birds’ abandoned nests become visible.  The new spaces of emptiness reveal mountain ridges.  At night if you stand beneath a tree and gaze upward, stars now peer through the branches.  This is an important autumn lesson—when certain things fall away, there are other things that can be seen more clearly.  The same truth can be celebrated in our personal lives”

                                        Excerpt from “The Circle of Life” by Joyce Rupp & Macrina Wiederkehr

circle_of_life_by_lionsroar787-d6p0cmu

 

With the grace of a tree letting go of her leaves with all her majesty and beauty, we learn to let go, making peace with the transitions in our lives. We face the stark reality that nothing lasts forever.  Things ebb and flow, autumn teaches us to honor what is dying, changing and urges us to embrace the fact that everything is always moving and flowing into something new, even if we are standing still.  Chanting one of my favorite mantras yesterday with a group of open, like-minded people, (sa ta na ma – wha hey guru) reminded me to breathe and embrace these inevitable changes.   The circle of life, death, rebirth and infinity tells us that all endings eventually become beginnings and that the walk through the hallway from a door that has closed behind us maybe dark, maybe challenging, but always leads to yet another opening, another awakening or a new perspective.  Go outside and enjoy the spaces in the trees where now the light comes in.  Feel the sun on your face as you chant:  SA TA NA MA – WHA HEY GURU and allow your life to flow.

Join Amy and Friends as they blend rhythms and harmonies in the ancient practice of Kirtan – Kirtan is a call and response form of singing that creates calmness of mind, connection to spirit and joy of heart!  The practice of Kirtan or Japa, the repetition of sacred mantras, has been used in cultures all over the world to clear the mind of clutter in order to tune into a higher vibration, plus, it’s fun!  No musical experience necessary, all that is needed is an open mind and heart.

“Chanting has the ability to calm the mind, break down barriers and open the channel to the divine love and grace that is always vibrating around and within us.  Let go of your inhibitions and tap into the divine flow of sacred Chant!

Amy Perri is a Registered Yoga Teacher, ERYT500 and enjoys teaching adults and children, bringing yoga to the developmentally disabled and presenting workshops in area studios. She also takes great pride in using yoga as a fundraising tool to support local charities. As an expression of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion), Amy enjoys taking her harmonium and musical friends on the road, providing music & chanting for asana classes and Kirtan.

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Cherish this day. Honor the memories.  Keep your eyes open, your ears clear and your words sweet. Let go of the unnecessary and gather close to what is dear. Practice presence, focus on the heart and be sure that wherever you are there is always an opportunity to bring compassion and love to whoever crosses your path. Yoga is connection.  When we connect to the things that really matter like;  relationships, health, service, love, appreciation and gratitude we really can  restore our world to wholeness.
