Stand still.
The trees ahead and the bushes beside you Are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,   And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes.  Listen.  It answers….   I have made this place around you.
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.   No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or bush does is lost on you,   You are surely lost.
Stand still.
The forest knows Where you are.
You must let it find you.

Hari Om Dearest Yoga Students,
Our Saturday morning Yoga Hike was a wonderful experience and I thank all who were able to attend.  Connecting to nature through our yoga practice and each other was all together uplifting, calming and joyful.  We live in such a beautiful, wonderous world, and it is right here in our own backyard. I think its safe to say we all had abundant  feelings of gratitude, appreciation and connectedness as we integrated breath and movement with the sights and sounds of the forest and beach.  The natural world has much to teach us, all we have to do is “Stand Still” and it will find us, nurture our spirits and uplift our hearts.  Bhoomi Mangalum (Blessings on The Earth).
Thanks also goes out to all of you who attended our ShaktiPath Kirtan at the NSPL Friday night.  Chanting has the ability to calm us, uplift our spirits and connect us to each other much the same way that nature nutures.  Gratitude for showing up and sharing your voices, love and enthusiasm with us!!
To be able to share what I love with so many wonderful souls is truly a blessing and whatever I am able to give, I receive back ten fold from all of you so I truly cherish each and every one of you for being part of our Sangha!!

Yoga this Week – April 6, 2013

8 Comments
Only as a spiritual warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges. The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything
as a blessing or a curse.                                             – Don Juan
Greetings to all my peaceful warriors who week after week face the ultimate challenge of coming face to face with their bodies, minds and spirits on their yoga mats.  Breathe in the energy of spring and be present to all the love that surrounds you.

“You are seeking joy in far off places, but the spring of joy is in your heart.  The haven of peace is in yourself”

Thank you all for journeying  through the chakra system these past seven weeks with me.  As always, it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to bring these sacred teachings to you.   Our study of the body, mind and spirit with its complex movement of energy never ends.  Through asana, meditation, chanting, and spiritual studies, we learn how to be grounded, creative, powerful, compassionate, expressive and wise so we can connect to spirit and the grace thats available to us in our lives.   I stand in awe at our  body’s capacity for healing and guiding us back to wholeness; to our orginal state of equanimity, love and peace because I both know this to be true and I see it in all of you week after week as you committ to your practice and yourself.

Therapeutic Yoga – Yoga is for Everyone

4 Comments

 

 

Therapeutic Yoga – Wednesdays 11  to 1215pm

Yoga is for everyone.  If you can breathe, you can do yoga.  Yoga is a cultivation of inner peace, acceptance and self love.  It is more than the ability to touch your toes or stand on your head.

This class will afford students who may have hesitated to join a typical class the opportunity  to experience the amazing transformative power of yoga in thier lives; body, mind and spirit.


 

“Therapeutic Yoga” will be a very gentle class, catering to those that have special situations, recuperating from surgery, have limited mobility or simply want to ease into yoga practice in a gentle, safe way.   We will use chairs and props if needed and each pose/movement will be modified so that everyone can experience the deep healing yoga offers  in their own unique way. We will begin each class with gentle breath  work and end with a fifteen minute relaxation posture incorporating some reiki energy healing and essential oils.

rest yoga

This class will run on four week monthly sessions and will be limited to 8 students.  Payment of $55 prior to start of session will cover all four classes.  On a drop in basis, if space allows, the fee will be $16 per class and require prior notice to ensure space is available.   Let me know if you or anyone you know would benefit from this class are interested.

 

Namaste
