Yoga this Week – November 23, 2014
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
Albert Schweitzer
Deep gratitude to all who continue to light the flame within with yoga. Just by being part of our Kula (community of the heart) you can be a spark that helps to ignite and inspire another. I know you all spark my inner light whenever you come to class, send me an email or say hello in our community. I am grateful to each and everyone of you for bringing your unique and beautiful energy into our yoga room. Hoping you all have a very healthy, Happy Thanksgiving. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om!!!

Yoga this Week – November 15, 2014
May all hearts be at ease. May our contentment promote the energies to alleviate suffering and turn ignorance into knowledge. May the cultivation of santosha guide us to courageous action, deeper community and greater love of all sentient beings.
Swami Shraddhananda
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,
Santosha is one of the Niyamas outlined in the eight limbs of yoga. Niyamas are ethical practices that cultivate inner peace and awareness about ourselves. Santosha means contentment. To be content with whatever is. Having the good fortune of participating in a workshop with Todd Norian this past week enlightened me to a new way of thinking about Santosha. He spoke about life being a series of problems that need our constant attention, creativity, compassion and openness. We all know that once one issue, obstacle or problem is solved, right behind it rolls in another one, like waves on the ocean; the issues may seem bigger, smaller or take a different shape, but never the less, they keep coming. What Todd so eloquently eluded to is that all we really need to change is our perspective; to change our obstacles into stepping stones on which we grow. To be content in the action of solving, resolving or figuring out solutions while letting go of the result. Contentment is now, not when things get better, not when we have all we think we need, it is now, in this moment. It allows us to love all of life, opening our hearts and clearing it out of judgment as to what we consider “good” or “bad”. Contentment allows our hearts to be at ease and turns our ignorance into knowledge.

Community Education Teen Yoga has been Delayed
Greetings yoga enthusiasts,
The Teen Yoga Class I was offering through the Rocky Point Community Education has been delayed until the Spring Session. If your teen was interested in attending, please contact me.

Shanti, Om

“Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. For we are the ones we have been waiting for!”
~ Hopi Elder Prophecy
Greetings dearest yoga students,
Hoping this email finds you well and allowing yourself time to transition into this fall season that is upon us. Try to let go of your struggles today. Our lives truly are a sacred expression of the love we hold within. The moment of sacredness is always now and is always a choice we make. Our sadhanda (practice) teaches us that in the present moment, the abundance of the universe is available to us and we are exactly where we should be. The more we practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, the more we can live in that sacred space that is full of compassion, wholeness and healing. Just as the journey from the head to the heart is only one breath away, the journey from the unreal to the real is within our reach. Stop waiting for yourself to be more, do more or have more resources available to you to live from your heart’s desire. You are the one you have been waiting for. You are already whole, look inside to your inner light to guide you towards your soul’s purpose focusing on completing even the most mundane of tasks as sacred celebrations. Just as your awareness in your yoga postures should spread to every part of your body, each part equally important, allow your awareness to spread to every task, every breath, every word you speak to rest on the sacredness that is within and around you.

Wednesday Evening Class Cancelled for tonight!
Class will be cancelled for tonight as I am planning to attend the LAST FULL MOON LABYRINTH WALK at the Little Portion Friary in Mt. Sinai at 7pm – Open to All
Greetings dear yoga students,
–
This beautiful place of refuge, meditation, prayer and, of course, homemade bread, will be closing as the brothers are no longer able to maintain the property. The full moon labyrinth walk is something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I do not want to miss this last opportunity. With the full moon on the rise, it is the perfect time to walk the labyrinth. Below is a link for more information about tonight’s event and the website which can offer you a history on labyrinths, as well as the Friary itself. If you were planning on coming to yoga class tonight, why not join me in this beautiful practice at the Friary 7 to 9pm.

Yoga this Week – October 26, 2014
The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots …
we’re already tied in knots.
The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts.
The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.”
– Max Strom
Yoga helps us to “untie the knots” not only in our overworked, overstressed bodies but also in the parts of our hearts that we seemed to have closed. Focus your attention on this “ultimate, loving and peaceful power in the universe” and let it calm, soothe and give you the courage and strength to untie, unwind and open up the flood gates of your hearts. When the heart chakra is open and free, we have the ability to love and be loved, unconditionally, and there is absolutely no greater force than that in this world or beyond.

Yoga this Week – October 19, 2014
Await the auspicious moment when one will be free from pleasure and pain, desire and a sense of worldly gain–since, attention should be on the perfection of means and not the end, which is bound to follow if the means are perfected. To accomplish this one should scrupulously observe all aspect of sadacara
(The Yamas which are right conduct — non-violence, truthfullness, non-stealing, moderation and non-greed)
Ravindra Kumar
Avalon Yoga Hike
Be gentle with yourself and others as you strive to walk this road less traveled remembering that we truly cannot become enlightened beings by simply sitting on a meditation cushion, doing yoga poses or reading spiritual material; WE MUST ADHERE TO AN ETHICAL PRACTICE if we are to move forward in our journey back home to our true selves and do the work we were meant to do in this lifetime. When our intention is pure, our paths will become illuminated like moonlight on a dark night and others will follow your example. Allow yourself to take risks, be willing to be vulnerable; there is a song in your heart waiting to be sung and in walking the true and right path you will find inside you the ability to give yourself fully to your unique, beautiful style of music that lives inside your soul.
