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.

Amy Perri, ERYT500/Reiki Practitioner & Benjamin Craig, Lic. Acup/Reiki Master

In this amazing session restorative yoga, reiki energy healing and acupuncture are infused with aromatherapy to indulge you in an experience that was created to bring your body, mind and spirit into harmony and wholeness.

This session provides a gentle introduction to the powerful, healing qualities of acupuncture.  Each restorative yoga pose is gently complimented by acupuncture points that have the ability to release blocks, move vital chi (life force energy), boost your immune system, calm emotions and relax the mind.

  • Restorative yoga postures are supported by blankets, pillows, straps and bolsters to relieve tension, stress & open energy in the body.
  • Reiki Healing is a non-invasive channeling of universal healing energy with the intention of loving kindness sent to the receiver.
  • The creative art of aromatherapy (use of pure essential oils) allow your body and mind to relax even deeper, while lifting the emotions it creates an atmospheric shift in the room.

First come, first serve – This workshop will fill up – Register as soon as possible.

Due to the nature of this class we must limit attendance to ten participants.  These workshops do fill up! Please register as soon as possible.  Payment of $55 is due by October 24thto hold your spot. (No refunds after 48 hours prior to session)

“As for the complex ways of living, I love them not, however much I practice them.  In as many places as possible, I will get my feet down to the earth”  Thoreau

Dear Yoga Students,

What a glorious weekend to get your feet down to earth.  Hope you enjoyed the sun as well as the chill in the air.  Isn’t it really the simple things that warm our heart.  Sitting by a fire, gazing at the stars, talking to a child; these are truly the treasures in life.     Although complex ways of living are part of being in the world, whenever possible, take Thoreau’s advice and be in nature, learn from its simplicity, and by all means, take your shoes off and get your feet down to the earth.
