The registration is now open for the Mind over Madness Solstice Celebration in Times Square on June 21st.  This event sells out quick.  We had the most amazing experience last year.  Sharing energy and space with thousands of yogi’s, oming, sweating, pulsing to the beat of NYC!!!

Please consider joining us as we embark on this memorable journey.  Click on the link asap.  I registered for the 745-9pm Evening Class.  We can take the train in together a bit earlier if you like.

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,

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.
