Yoga this Week – November 2, 2014

November 2, 2014 amyperri2 1 Comment

Be Self-controlled!

Give!

Be Compassionate!

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

This is the true aim of yoga, this is the goal. To learn to control the mind when it leans towards selfishness, egoism, fear and negativity. The ultimate aim of all our yoga practices are to bring our focus inward so we realize all the peace we seek comes from our true divine nature. A yogi feels the lack of noting, therefore, there is no need for hoarding, competition or greed. The yogi knows all comes from and all will return to the divine source; that in our natural state we are all one.

–

Be Self-Controlled by following an ethical path. Give by coming from a place of abundance. Be Compassionate so others can gain strength from your strong spirit.

This is the aim of yoga, these are the true goals.

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.

**No Monday Night Class this week – Make sure you scroll down for some wonderful offerings this month!**

“Again and again ~ Return like Mountain ~ Release like Ocean ~ Relax like Sky ~And Rest ~ Rest in the Heart of Pure Awareness” Living Buddha

Greetings dear yoga students,

This quote reminds me that there is a need for us to keep coming back again and again to rest in our true selves. However, to balance our energies we must seek different modalities to meet our ever changing needs; sometimes we need to relax like the sky, be still like a mountain or release the past like the ocean. Tune in to exactly what you may be needing today. Draw upon the power of nature to nurture you and give you what you need. As the season transitions to shorter days and longer nights, you may feel your energy, mood and mind shifting so try and adjust your daily round to help you be true to yourself. In this way we begin to live in the natural rhythms of nature, returning again to rest in the awareness of the heart and what truly matters in your life.

Yoga this Week -September 28, 2014

September 29, 2014 amyperri2 2 Comments

So Much Happiness

It is difficult to know what to do with so much happiness.
With sadness there is something to rub against,
A wound to tend with lotion and cloth.
When the world falls in around you, you have pieces to pick up,
Something to hold in your hands, like ticket stubs or change.

But happiness floats.
It doesn’t need you to hold it down.
It doesn’t need anything.
Happiness lands on the roof of the next house, singing,
And disappears when it wants to.
You are happy either way.
Even the fact that you once lived in a peaceful tree house
And now live over a quarry of noise and dust
Cannot make you unhappy.
Everything has a life of its own,
It too could wake up filled with possibilities
Of coffee cake and ripe peaches,
And love even the floor which needs to be swept,
The soiled linens and scratched records….

Since there is no place large enough
To contain so much happiness,
You shrug, you raise your hands, and it flows out of you
Into everything you touch. You are not responsible.
You take no credit, as the night sky takes no credit
For the moon, but continues to hold it, and to share it,
And in that way, be known.

~ Naomi Shihab Nye ~

One of yoga’s most beautiful niyamas (ethical practices to cultivate) is Santosha or Contentment. With Santosha, there is less doing and more a sitting with, a being present for, a quiet contemplation to look around and be content in the moment, in this very moment. Today notice how many times you might sabotage your contentment. Sometimes we worry that things are too good, that it won’t last. Sometimes we think we should do more, be more or get more. Be aware of when you feel content today and allow yourself the joy and peace that cultivating santosha brings, however fleeting or far between,

Yoga this Week – September 21, 2014

Aparigraha

greedlessness, non-attachment

“The yogi feels that the collection or hoarding of things implies a lack of faith in God and in himself to provide for the future….By the observance of aparigraha, the yogi makes his life as simple as possible and trains his mind not to feel the loss or the lack of anything. Then everything he really needs will come to him by itself at the proper time.”

Iyengar

Hari Om Dear Yoga Students,

As this Fall draws us inward I wish for your eyes to see all the abundance that you already possess right now in this moment in this time in your life. One beautiful morning this past week I walked down to the shore, a little less than a mile from my house and was embraced by the serene beauty all around me. It caused me to stop and I experienced a moment that seemed to have transformed into one of those magical moments suspended in time. I paused, connected to my breath, did some simple yoga postures and sat on a piece of wood to silently sit in meditation.. As the rhythmic sound of the waves made their way into my mind and the gentle warm breeze caressed my skin, I felt so completely connected to all that was around me. The feeling of abundance and gratitude seemed to encapsulate my entire being. If we take even a moment to connect with all that is precious and dear to us in our lives right now, we allow the divine light to shine into our hearts. A moment like this can change your entire day from one that is ordinary to one that is full of miracles and we seem to lack nothing.

Suggested Rituals for Autumn Equinox

Give thanks to the Gods for the harvest.
Evaluate the past year, and identify what to harvest and what to plow under.
Identify and cut away outworn habits and emotional baggage which are wearing you down.
Work for balance and equilibrium in nature or in human affairs.
Give to those less fortunate than you are

Shanti Om,

The Perfect Cup

Its time to see the flaws of myself and stop being alarmed

It’s time for me to halt my drive for perfection and to accept my blemishes

It’s time for me to receive slowly evolving growth;

the kind that comes in God’s own good time

and does not heed to my panicky pushing.

It’s time for me to embrace my humaness and love my incompleteness.

It’s time for me to cherish the unwanted,

to welcome the unknown,

to treasure the unfulfilled

If I wait untill I am perfect,

I will always be unsatified and ungrateful

If I wait until all the flaws,

chips and cracks disappear

I will be the cup that sits on the shelf and is never used

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hope this email finds you embracing this day with all its so called “imperfections”. The sooner we move into acceptance and embrace who we are in the moment and how our life is in the present, the sooner we will allow peace to flow within us. Think of the beauty of a tree, a landscape, an old picture or a favorite pair of worn out jeans; it is the imperfections that make them beautiful, interesting and alive. By embracing our humaness we also acknowledge our divinity. It is through this human experience that we come to know the sacred in life. Do not wait, cease this day and open up to the ways in which you can be used to better the lives of those around you in any small way. When you learn to love the imperfections in yourself, you unconciously give others the permission to accept and love themselves just as they are. In your imperfections you are incredibly perfect and exactly who you are meant to be!

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 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.
