Come and enjoy the natural landscape of the North Shore as we join together as a yoga community celebrating spring.  An easy hike through the woods to the beautiful shores of LI Sound will be followed by gentle yoga on the beach. We will then relax, eat our lunches, share in Sangha and before leaving the beach we will experience a brief meditation on the elements of the Natural World. Let me know if you would like to be part of this beautiful morning. Weather permitting…

$12 for the Yoga Class – All levels, ages welcome!!!

Please bring a bagged lunch or snack, yoga mat or towel and water.  Be mindful to dress appropriately for a hike in the woods, i.e.:  hiking shoes or sneakers (no flip/flops or sandals), long pants with socks on top, layered clothing, etc.  Please note that there are no formal facilities at this location.

Reiki Circle  Sunday, May 19^th

730-830pm

Reiki is a non-invasive channeling of Universal Energy.  This healing modality is known to ignite the receivers own healing capacity to clear away blocks in the emotional, physical and spiritual body.  It is a channeling of Loving Kindness, Compassion and Love.

Come share in a healing Reiki Circle.  All are welcome, no prior experience is necessary.  Reiki Practitioners are encouraged to come give and receive.

The Evening begins with a meditation to bring us into this healing space.  Reiki will then be shared and all in attendance will benefit from this channeling of peace, love and light.  We will then, together, send out distance healing to those not able to attend.  The evening will end a few moments of discussion for those that would like to share.

$10 Suggested Donation and/or a Food Pantry Item

Please reserve your spot by email or phone.

On Children

Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let our bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

 Happy Mother’s Day Dearest Yoga Students,

Whether you are a mother, grandmother, son or daughter – we all have something wonderful to celebrate today; unconditional love.  Think about that term for a minute.  The Wikipedia definition is:  Unconditional Love   is a term that means to love someone regardless of one’s actions or beliefs.  Unconditional love separates the individual from her or his behaviors. The individual is loved unconditionally as a “perfect” child of the Higher Power.

Revel in what it feels like to be loved without conditions, without judgement with pure loving kindness for who you are.   Focus on the gratitude you have for all the mothers in your life past and present;  your birth mother, a friend, a sister, a diety, a mentor …and then recycle all the love you have been given as an offering to the universe.  Meditate on the amazing creation of life and the cycles that continue on and on and on.  Sa Ta Na Ma…Life, Death, Rebirth and Infinity. 

“A Mother’s Love need not be Deserved”

What we’re trying to do in yoga is to create a union, and so to deepen a yoga pose is to actually increase the union of the pose,

not necessarily put your leg around your head.

~Rodney Yee

The word, Yoga, means to yoke, to connect, to create union. When we practice Hatha Yoga we are trying to create union of body, mind and spirit within the context of physical poses, breath and movement. As I flowed through a practice this morning guided by a wonderful yoga teacher and serenaded by the live music of Girish, I had moments of feeling completely connected with everything within me and around me. In fact, upon leaving the studio, the woman who was practicing next to me told me she felt a deep connection to me even though we had never met or spoken before.  This morning’s yoga class certainly was not about whether we could put our feet around our heads but about total connection; our poses were in union with our bodies, breath,  music, musician, teacher and each other.

Each time we come to our mats, we have a chance to explore interconnectedness. We begin with our breath and move into our bodies, but it doesn’t stop there. As we create union with a pose, we adjust, consider, explore, become present and breathe into the experience. We soften into the edges of the pose and watch them dissolve as we flow moment to moment. Much the same way we can choose to unite and connect with the situations and interactions in our life. We can choose to lean in, yield and be present, to connect and unite with everything inside and around us with curiosity instead of expectations.  As you move into this day, feel into the energy around you. Connect with the elements of nature. Let the sun, earth and sky serenade you as you flow guided by that wonderful teacher the resides within you. Rather than judge your day by how much you accomplish, see or do, choose to unite, connect and deepen into the mystery that is your life.

Greetings Dear Yoga Students,

Please consider joining us for an uplifting evening of Kirtan  with myelf and Robert Condemi as ShaktiPath raises the vibrational energy through chant!!

7pm Tonight at Jewel of the Lotus Yoga Studio in Islip. Click on the link for more info http://www.shaktipath.net/events/events.html

ShaktiPath is a musical collaboration blending rhythms and harmonies to channel ‘shakti’, universal energy, from the deep seat of the soul straight to the heart.

Robert Julius Condemi, multi-dimensional musician/ yoga practitioner and Amy Perri, ERYT500/Registered Yoga Teacher and instrumentalist in her own right, create ShaktiPath. Together they deliver a musical experience that stems from traditional yogic chants, contemporary songs, and a distinct combination of the two. ShaktiPath provides music for Kirtan, Asana Classes, Music Venues or Private Parties.
