Yoga this Week – August 9, 2014
Beach Yoga Tomorrow Morning at 8:45am – Its looking like it will be beautiful!!
Greetings dear yoga students,
If you want to know how you got to where you are today, look at your past actions. If you want to know what your future will be like, look at your present actions. Its that simple. We create our future everyday with what we do in the present. Tapas, the Niyama described as disciplined action, helps us create the future we long for. Take a look at your present state of mind, your present schedule and what it is comprised of and ask yourself if it is aiding you in creating the life you desire. Tapas helps us to create the fertile ground for healthy growth to occur. Tapas is getting on your yoga mat, getting to bed early, creating space in your life because the disciplines help to create an ultimate calm state of mine. Tapas enlightens our days with determination and resolve to stay on this path we have chosen, courageously forging our way through this beautiful journey called life with joy.

Yoga this Week – August 4, 2014
**Sorry but There is No Class Tonight!! Monday Evening Yoga begins on August 11th at 715pm with a special Live Music Class; see below for details***
“These three elements knows as Kriya Yoga, help us detoxify the body, nurture the senses and purify the mind…”
Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
The Three Pillars of Yoga
Tapas: Discipline
Svadhayaya: Study of the self and of Spiritual Texts
Ishvara Pranidhana: Devotion and Surrender to the Divine
Greetings dear yoga students,
What a gift to be able to retreat from our worldly life and dive in to yoga’s spiritual teachings. Over the next few weeks, I hope to be able to shed some light on each of the three pillars of yoga stated above. These three pillars are part of yoga’s ethical practices known as Niyamas and are the second limb of the Eight Limb Path. Niyamas are personal observances and give us the tools to lead a happy, joyful , well-balanced life. These three observances in particular are highlighted in the Yoga Sutras as Kriya Yoga. The Sanskrit word, Kriya, means to take action; so Kriya Yoga is the yoga of action. By concentrating on these principles and discovering where you may need to take action in your life (making a plan) the ancient masters tell us we will discover a more fulfilling, joyful life and also create the fertile ground for our life’s purpose and deepest desires to become manifest.

Yoga this Week – July 7, 2014
“Yoga is a balancing factor, a substratum across all of your life, so you do not get shifted in one direction or another. It gives you freshness, gives you light, recharges your batteries. You become a stable person. You realize what balance is, what sukha is, what contentment is, what joy is.”
~ Birjoo Mehta
Hoping to see you all in class this week so together we can recharge, rebalance and stabilize to experience yoga’s true gifts; sukha (sweetness), contentment and joy!!!

Want to be part of a yoga group summer book reading? I would like to offer a timed classic to read together for the summer. Ann Morrow Lindberg’s “Gift From the Sea”. This is a treasure I pull out every summer and always find it refreshing, deep and engaging. Let me know if you would like to join me and we will set a date for a nice discussion towards the end of summer.
****Stay Tuned for the return of Monday Evenings beginning August 4th for those of you who prefer to practice indoors in the everning****

A Note on Beach Yoga: Please click on the link for details regarding yoga on the beach. If you need to acquire a parking permit from me, you need to arrive at least ten minutes before the start of class as I will be locking up a few minutes before class start time to get down to the beach and teach. If you do arrive late, there a three or four public “safe” parking spots on Acadia Road (the road just down the hill to the left of the walk way on the street).
Also, if walking up the stairs proves to be too taxing, you can always choose to walk up to the parking lot via the path on Hallock Landing. Its much more gradual.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Namaste!!
Yoga this Week – June 29, 2014
Greetings dearest yoga students,
I love summer. I love diving in, breathing the air, feeling the warm shining sun on my face. I love embracing the cool breeze and the tingaling feeling of salt on my skin hours after a dip in the sea. I love the energy in myself and I can feel it in those around me. Today’s kayaking adventure included all of these things and more. I am so very blessed to do the work that I love in this lifetime. To be around such wonderful open-minded people embracing natures beauty not only sharing an adventurous journey across the water, but an inspiring yoga class on an island while collectively raising funds for our local soup kitchen was truly a gift. The water, sun, air, sky, birds, sand were all part of our practice. When a student came up to me and said “Amy, you have truly found your dharma, this is your life’s work”, it filled me with such joy and awe. Work? I smiled and laughed to myself because I really never feel like any of these classes, events, sangha’s, are work!! (Although I must say, I will sleep deep tonight!) Thank you all for your continued dedication to your yoga practice and to this community that continues to grow. Thank you all for allowing me to live my dharma by brining this ancient practice of yoga in all its forms to new and continuing students. And thank you for being the open, receptive, loving and supportive people that yogi’s are known to be. Sat Nam, A deep, loving bow to you all!!

Yoga this Week – June 22, 2014
“Yoga helps us to remember again and again what we have forgotten…
that our bodies, our minds and our lives are pliable, changeable and capable of creating any experience we choose to create.”
If you are feeling stuck, stagnant or blocked at this time, please try and remember that even in the “down” times, we are still moving forward. It is imperative, however, that during dormancy we try and trust that the abundance of the universe is on its way; we are most likely being prepared for something much greater, much more expansive than our limited minds can understand. Even when we are not sure of our next step, all we need do is stumble forward in faith, in perseverance and in the knowing that at any given moment we have the opportunity to make the necessary changes in our lives toward health, well being and happiness. Allow your yoga practice to be a beautiful reminder of just how moldable our bodies, minds and spirits can become one compassionate, patient, focused moment at a time.

“Your life is a sacred journey. It is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You re on the path…exactly where you are meant to be right now …And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love”
~~Caroline Adams
Hoping this email finds you all well, enjoying this sacred journey we call our lives. Returning home from my yoga and hiking retreat this weekend, I am reminded of the great power in being still, being challenged, being opened and being free. Stepping out of our comfort zone, whether it is to sit on a meditation cushion, step on to our yoga mats, climb a mountain or open ourselves up to another, helps to expand our “vision of what is possible” in our lives. Life itself is the greatest journey we will ever take. It is an adventure into the unknown forest of emotions, into the complexity of our minds, the amazing resilience of our bodies, the flowing energy of relationships and most importantly, an adventure into that deep inner wellspring of compassion and love from which all magnificent tales of triumph are born.
