Yoga this Week – June 16, 2013 – Happy Father’s Day!

June 16, 2013 amyperri2 4 Comments

“Isn’t life grand? With all its beauty, hardships and craziness, isn’t life itself an amazing, wild ride?”, my big brother said as he almost squeezed the very breath out of me with his engulfing bear hug. We laughed as we continued to compare life to a big pot of stew with all its flavors intermingling creating a delicious, hardy meal that satisfies the soul, and wished each other well as we went on our separate ways. The little whisper of his wisdom stayed with me overnight into this morning. Life IS grand, with all its twists and turns, it is still a beautiful journey to be both respected and cherished like a ride up a scenic mountain highway; at times scary, at times exciting, at times distasteful, at times calm or breathtakingly beautiful. Cherish your life today, cherish the fathers that are in your life as well as beyond this life. Be present to the unique flavor of today, be compassionate, be humble, be aware of the river of awareness that runs just under the surface of things that whispers…”Isn’t Life Grand?”…

“I’ve come to believe that the highest form of prayer is to pray and yet ask for nothing. To resonate with awareness, acceptance, and gratitude is surely to pray. To breathe and accept gratefully the air that surrounds me into my body…..to be conscious of this, as we breath,

turns the physical practice into a devotional one”

Sting

Dearest Yoga Students,

Hoping this moment finds you consciously breathing and accepting gratefully all that surrounds you. Whether you accept your present circumstances graciously or with a heavy heart, acceptance is the key that unlocks the door to serenity. It is my intention that as you dive deeper and deeper into your yoga practice, you too begin to find the spiritual foundation that yoga is built on. Allow the feelings of gratitude and loving kindness that arise during your practice to become your “prayer” of devotion to that universal energy that works through all things including you.

Yoga this Week – June 2, 2013

June 3, 2013 amyperri2 3 Comments

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.

Native American Elder

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!!

Sagittarius _lunar_eclipse

“The Phoenix rises from the ashes of the past. You, too, can recreate yourself and make a fresh start. You can experience a Brilliant Breakthrough. That is this Full Moon’s message.”

Hatha Yoga

Ha – Sun Tha – Moon Yoga – to connect

Hatha Yoga is to connect and balance the elements of the sun and moon that lies within us. In the early morning hours there was a full moon lunar eclipse. This astrological event is both mysterious and powerful. The energy of the full moon reminds us that we are complete, whole and abundant exactly as we are. As the full moon reflects the brillance of the sun, our energetic, powerful “Ha”, sun element shines through and lights up our receptivity “tha” moon energy. The sun and moon are deeply connected as is illustrated as the earth moves in front of the sun and changes the color of the white moon to a dark red filtering a small amount of sunlight on its surface. This ha and tha energy within us are deeply connected as well.

The full moon reminds us that all that has occured within our lives in the last month has led up to this moment. It is a time to sit back, watch, allow and let it all be. There are times for action in our lives and a time to let go. Within our asana practice there are times of expending great effort to release energy, wake up our bodies and quiet our minds. There are also times when we hold the pose, release in relaxation, sit still, let go and trust the process. This ebb and flow, giving and receiving creates the balance we so long for in our lives. We simply cannot hold on to pleasure or force pain to go away, try as we might, we must accept as best we can the process. Just as the moon cannot possibly hold on to its fullness or emptiness, we must let go and allow our lives to unfold; trusing the phases of waining, waxing and fullness to bring us to wholeness again.

Yoga this Week – May 19, 2013

May 19, 2013 amyperri2 4 Comments

” The Past and the Future is a joke to me now. I see that they’re nothin’. I see they ain’t here. The only thing that’s here is you and me…..I love you. Not, not like they told you love is….[the story books are bull], love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything! It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We, we aren’t here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect. Not us! Not us!”
Ronny Cammareri, “Moonstruck“

Storybooks and fairytales have a way to paint a picture of life that always has a happy ending. The guy gets the girl, the conflict resolves and all is as it should be. But what we must remember is that life is full of suffering. That loving, and being truly vulnerable in your life doesn’t always look nice. Truly living wholeheartedly means breaking your heart sometimes, making a mess. The above quote is one of my all time favorite movie lines. We are not here to be perfect, for our lives to look flawless, to create what society’s idea of a beautiful life is. We are here to have our hearts broken a thousand times because we are meant to experience the oceans of emotions our life is full of. We are here to experience the wonder of being human; with all its hills and valleys, like the moon we continually cycle through a myriad of phases to become whole again.

Yoga helps lead us away from this idea of perfectionism, that somehow we are flawed because our practice is not perfect. We fall down, we sweat, we struggle but we get back up again, we return to our mats and gain strength, fortitude and hope. “We breath and something in us softens, makes space for the imperfections”. So let go of the storybook idea of how your life should look. Let go and enjoy the scenery of today. Be vulnerable, be open, allow grief, joy, success and failure, falling down and getting back up to all be part of the great tapestry that is your life. When you reach into the beauty of imperfection; the crooked tree, the moon’s craters, the clouded sky, tears in a loved one’s eyes, experience it fully, turning away from nothing that you find. The messes will be there, the heartaches will surface, the past and future are but memories and dreams, breathe it all in and find your joy in being present through it all for yourself and those around you.

Yoga this Week – May 12, 2013 – Happy Mother’s Day

May 12, 2013 amyperri2 8 Comments

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”
