Yoga this Week – March 29, 2015

 

 
“Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises?  If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.  Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away”
Henry D. Thoreau

 Greetings dearest yoga students,
How often do we try to keep pace with our companions?  Pushing forward towards an ideal when we’re not even sure we connect to its truth.  Our society, families, friends all have ideas of how we should live our life.  It is time now to find your own truth.  Listen closely to your heart as you approach a decision.  What truly resonates for you may be quite different from those around you. Do something because you understand why you are doing it deep down in your core and it makes sense for you and those around you.  Give yourself space to feel into the question, check in with your physical, mental and emotional energies, they are the guides to your intuitive nature which always knows what is right.  Take a breath, get yourself in a calm state and have the patience and faith to listen to what your higher self is telling you. Trust yourself enough to be guided from within, not because you feel you need to adhere to some arbitrary code that others have laid out for you.  We live and let live which means we also honor that others have their own path, we niether judge or retaliate; we honor their decision and go our own way to decide for ourselves. 
“You cannot discover new oceans until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”

Anon 

Most importantly,  don’t be afraid to fail.  It is in taking risks, trying out new ways of being,  that we find ourselves and create the life we were meant to live.  Nothing would get done if we all waited until we did it perfectly.  Encourage yourself with compassion, focus, vision and a little light hearted humor.   It is in the falls we take that we learn how to endure, create and make this world a better place for ourselves and others.

Yoga this Week – March 22, 2015

“When you experience yourself in stillness – that is, when you give your undivided attention to experiencing the truth about you – you will experience the conflict-free, calm, dynamic peace of perfectly centered abundant life energy”

                                               Eric Shiffman

 Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this day finds you basking in the light of gratitude and surrender to what has materialized in your life.  Feel into your life as you feel into a yoga pose.  Align yourself to the spaciousness of all this moment has to offer.  Breathe in acceptance and breathe out love.   Feel into the stillness at the end of your next breathe and connect to your true self as you draw near to the present, the here and now.  Allow the act of being in your truth bring you a sense of calm and a realization, not that things will be okay, but that things are okay and wonderful already, right now as they are

Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,

We do not stand alone.  This journey through life is shared in countless ways.  What happens to you, happens to me.    When we release the dillusion that we are separate from everything around us, Ahimsa (non-violence) flows through us as easily as water flows down a steep mountain slope.  Insead of reserving your deep affection and attention for a select few, widen your circle of compassion and embrace with loving kindness everyone and everything around you.  When we give, we actually do receive.

Yoga this Week – March 8, 2015

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Listening to this all too familiar song being sung in a not so familiar way last night, allowed me to hear the amazing lyrics as if for the first time.  Those three simple words;” Let It Be”, have such power.  Sometimes all we have to do in times of confusion, sadness, anger, or regret is just to let it be.  Let things be as they are, let people be who they are, let the world be as it is and sit quietly waiting for an answer to come.  All too often we tend to come at a situation with fear and impatience only to find another obstacle that creates yet more anxiety.  While challenging yoga poses can invoke the same panicky pushing, we are reminded to breathe, relax and feel what adjustments we need to make to experience the sukha and sthira(sweetness and steadiness) in the posture.  “There will be an answer, Let it Be” reminds us to breathe, relax and feel as the right answer comes in the still, small voice that is your highest self.

   “May you walk in Beauty and may you be aware that you already do”

                                                Navajo Blessing

This is the time to dig deep and find the beauty within.  Try and clear the clutter physically, spiritually and emotionally so that you can experience the lovely essence of your life.  Find the joy in the simple things.  Spring is coming but Winter is her now so find the beauty that is here now.  Do not wish any of your moments away.   “May you walk in Beauty and may you be aware that you already do”.

Friday February 20th 6:30-8pm – Special Partner Yoga Class

Join me and my good friend,  Lois Healion, RYT500,  for a special partner yoga class honoring our interconnectedness!

Traditionally, yoga is seen as an individual practice, but Partner Yoga brings people together through movement, play, breath, and touch.   It can be practiced by any two people and is a great way to foster  trust and communication.  Partner Yoga is a way to cultivate connection, support another and get great assists within your poses.

Class will conclude with a Chocolate Meditation to savor the sweetness of connection.

  You do not have to come with a partner and you don’t have to be a couple.  This class is for all!

   $15 per person – RSVP before tomorrow please!
