Hari Om Dear Yoga Students, “Santosha, or the practice of contentment, is the ability to feel satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience” Donna Farhi Feeling satisfied within the container of one’s immediate experience means to meet the present moment with a fresh perspective and open up to everything it has to offer. Satisfaction combines the energies of acceptance and gratitude. Contentment is not based on what you think you need to be satisfied, but more a sense of gratitude for what you already have. The ability to feel satisfied within the container of your immediate experience comes when you allow your expectations to fade and your perceptions to clear enabling you to become empty of past impressions; this is the practice of yoga, this is the practice of Santosha.

Yoga this Week – July 5, 2015
*Please Note this week’s Friday Morning Class will begin at 9am (30 minutes earlier)**
Greetings dearest yoga students,
Yoga practice is about being aware. We connect to our bodies, minds and breath so we can be aware and present to what is happening internally; to the places we need to empower, the places we need to open and the places we need to protect. Therefore, our yoga is about learning about ourselves. We study the self so we can better understand why we do the things we do so we can let go of the what is not our true nature. We learn what actions brings us closer to our higher self and the things that take us further away. We acquire the patience to be with difficult sensations, whether they are emotional, physical or mental, so the interactions can teach us what we need to know to move us along our path. “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know”, so embrace your challenges with the pose of the Warrior and stand your ground, be open and embrace the lessons, for they are gifts that come wrapped in the most unlikely packages.

“Attention is the most basic form of love.”
~ John Tarrant Roshi
Give attention to the things that are important to you as well as realizing when you are squandering your precious moments on trivialities. If the most basic form of love is attention, give it to yourself, give it to those around you, give it to the thoughts that empower you and set you free!!

“It’s time. If you are to walk the path of heart, then it is time…”
If not now, when? If not me, who? To walk the path of the heart is a great honor. Every human has the choice to walk this path, but very few will decide to make it. Why? Well, because you can’t act and behave like everyone else behaves. You must be the person who will learn to look within. You must be the person who will be fully accountable for yourself. You must be the person who prays and meditates. You must be the person who will sacrifice. You must decide to be a Peaceful Warrior

Yoga this Week – May 31, 2015
“We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating; lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. We have forgotten what rocks plants and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be— to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is here and now.”
Eckhart Tolle
The Empowerer
Nature’s power to nurture us never ceases to amaze me. The natural world reminds us of what is truly important and to let go of the rest. We humans create all kinds of complex dynamics which keep our minds busy and our bodies tense. Take time to receive the bounty of beauty that is always there for the taking right outside your door. Make a special effort to experience nature everyday, either by cultivating your garden, sitting quietly and listening to the birds, feeling the embrace of the wind flowing around you or the tingling warmth of sun on your skin. Observe how the trees remain patient, grounded, growing and still within the movement of life. Connect, ground down, let go and allow life to flow with the intelligent rhythm of nature and just BE!

Yoga this Week – May 16, 2015 – Wednesday Night Class Switched to Thursday Night this Week!!
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,
Have faith in your practice and the ability of your yoga to calm, nurture, enliven and release. When we move our panic energy our practice through breath work, postures, chanting, and/or meditation we effect not only our physical bodies, but our emotional bodies as well. Moving prana (life force energy) within ourselves allows us to be more open, more willing, more free to connect to that universal prana that is available for the taking and connects us to all beings everywhere. In essence, it allows us to show up for ourselves and for others in our life. Trust your yoga to move through you, all you have to do is show up and be present. Your Yoga mat will catch you if you fall.

A Blessed Mother’s Day to all! I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I have. Remember that although cultural holidays are “supposed” to be happy and joyful, they often also come with a fair amount of sadness or grief for what used to be, what we hoped would be or for who we have lost along the way. Allow yourself to feel your feelings as much as possible. Happiness and Sorrow are both different ends of the same stick. Have compassion and gratitude for those around you as we honor the great mothers that surround us as well as inside of us.
May you find peace and serenity in knowing you are loved!!
