“The goal of Yoga is not to obtain something that is lacking: it is the realization of an already present reality. Yoga practice removes the obstacles that obstruct the experience of “Moksha” true freedom” (Jaganath Carrera, Inside the Yoga Sutras).

I wish all of you a happy, healthy, joy filled 2014! In keeping with the tradition of studying yogic philosophies in the first part of the year, for the next several weeks, we will be focusing on part of the Yoga Sutras called The Kleshas. The Kleshas are known to be the misperceptions that keep us bound and are often depicted as a tree that at the root of all our suffering is Avidya (spiritual ignorance) or misperception; believing the unreal to be the real or the impermanent to be permanent.
Avidya – Ignorance
Asmita – Ego
Raga – Attachment to Pleasure
Dvesa – Aversion to Pain
Adhinivhesa – Fear of Death
–
Think about the Kleshas as all the misperceptions you have gathered in the course of your lifetime. Some are born in our childhood, some we have been born into this life with. Some are very subtle and some are very gross. The yoga sutras tell us that if we are aware of these Kleshas at the root, and to not allow them to take hold in our psyches, we can release their power. Together over the next few weeks, we will explore yogic tools that help us to find freedom from our Kleshas.

Yoga this Week – Regular Schedule Resumes – December 28, 2013
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Theresa
Hari Om Dearest Yoga Students,
The end of the year is upon us. It is a time of deep reflection for most. A time to look back with compassion and illuminate the path we have walked. This time is a unique opportunity to reflect, accept and let go. You have changed, you have been changed by the experiences you have traveled through and the obstacles you have been confronted with; you do not need to hold on for the past will always be part of who you are today. The most important thing we can do is learn and let it go. In order to live the life we are meant to live, we must make space by releasing the past. If you find yourself holding on, bless whatever situation you are at odds with, trust that all of it was destined to happen and let yourself move forward, you will move forward non the less, so why not go with the flow of your life. All we have is NOW…Let us begin

Yoga this Week – December 23, 2013
I hope you are finding time to truly feel the precious moments in your life as they pass. As we come into this last week of the year, take time to reflect with compassion on all the places you have been. Reflect on those things that remained the same and the things that have changed; within you and around you. Allow yourself some quiet time to go within and connect to the silence amidst the rush of comings and goings. Thank you to all the beautiful yogi goddesses that filled the room on Winter Solstice night! It was so heart warming to hear all of your intentions and watch you all connect to each other as a spiritual community!!
–
I wish for you all a happy, healthy, joy filled holiday season!
A deep bow of gratitude from me to you, Sat Nam.

Winter Solstice Celebration Tomorrow Night! Wednesday December 18th at 7pm
Our Annual Winter Solstice Celebration is tomorrow night at 7pm here in our yoga room. Please let me know if you are coming if you haven’t already! This is one of my most favorite holiday parties of the season!! Take this time to step out of the comings and goings and become aware how darkness turns to light and endings become beginnings.
–
Remember the Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and the shortest day but what that really means is that we are celebrating the return of the sun!!
Reminder about what to bring
(What Not to Bring: Your Mat)
*Bring an image, word, drawing to put on our Community Yoga Vision Board. Something you wish to see more of in our world for 2014
*Bring a donation for our food pantry (non-perishable food or toiletries item)
*Bring a percussion instrument if you have it for the chanting section
*Dress Festively (Think Winter Solstice: Blues, purples, dark burgundies, sparkles, shimmers, you get the point. Festive does not necessarily mean dressed up)

Happy Full Cold Long Night Moon!
See you Soon!

Yoga this Week – December 15, 2013
“All you need is love. The Beatles said it, and the Bible said it, and every wise saint who has ever spoken has sad it….Sure, there are other great things in life: knowledge, and power, and spiritual understanding. “But these shall pass away” (Paul writes in the New Testament). “Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away…And these shall remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love”
Elizabeth Lesser from “Broken Open”
Amidst the comings and goings and rush of the Holiday Season, take time to remember what is truly important. It is love that binds us to our family, not blood. It is Love that connects us to our community, not just geography. It is Love that connects us to our true essence, not intellectual knowledge. Become aware of any tendency to create that picture perfect holiday, the one we see in media or read about in books. Open your heart, feel into that everlasting quality of love that surrounds you and is inside you. As effortlessly as the snow falls from the sky and returns once again to its source, allow your love to flow and float knowing that truly “Love is All You Need”.

Yoga this Week – December 8, 2013 – Note Change in Winter Solstice Celebration
**Note Winter Solstice Celebration date has changed to Wednesday, December 18th 7-9pm**
Greetings Dear Yoga Students,
We all know that change is inevitable, but yet we still cling to the known, the familiar, the comfortable. George Harrison once said, “If we aren’t changing, we aren’t growing”. Everything that grows must change. It is just as important to our well being to accept and embrace change as it is to breathe. Enjoy the moments of your day, embrace all that is in your life with enthusiasm knowing that you will never pass through this day again. Be open to the shifting landscapes, the rise and fall of emotions, the ebb and flow of energy. When the waves of change seem to be harsh and the seas are rough around you, remember that you are part of the ocean of movement and that, inevitably, we are being led towards are true direction.
