Greetings dear yoga students,

The practice of Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion.  Every pose we take, every breath we inhale, every intention and action is practiced as devotion to the divine which lives both inside and outside you.  The deeper we penetrate our physical world through our asana practice, we realize the divine lives in all things physical and that the physical lives in all things spiritual.  The bhakti yogi seeks more than anything to develop a “direct, intense, personal relationship with the divine or simply with life itself”. 

There are countless ways to practice Bhakti yoga.  Chanting spiritual mantras,  praying with beads, gardening in the earth’s soil, relishing the light in a loved ones eyes, playing with a child or finding compassion in your heart when it is needed most are all postures we can take to express our devotion to the divine forces that are all around us.  We can also come to our practice with dedication and reverence for this ancient science which, in turn, enables us to transform our own yoga mat into a sacred space where we come to be in the presence of the divine that is both inside, outside and in all things.

“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

“We are far now from home and weary from our travels. The sun is setting and there is no destination in sight. Yoga is a lamp lit in the window of our home, dimly glimpsed across the spiritual wilderness in which we wander. At a time when we could not feel further from our home, yoga reminds us that we are already there, that we need simply awaken from our dream of separation, our dream of imperfection.”
                                                Rolf Gates-Meditations from the Mat

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Yoga brings us home.  In the quiet spaces in between the movement of breath, of postures, of thought, what remains is perfect peace.  We must let go of the illusion that we are not enough, that our lives need to look a certain way, that our bodies should not age, that we are separate from each other and simply dive in to the present moment where we are welcomed with pure acceptance. 

In dealing with a particularly challenging issue this past week, the outpouring and support from those around me was astonishing.  I went from feeling hopeless to complete gratitude as I experienced a profound realization that I am being carried by a grace that is beyond my comprehension.  The most important thing was that I stopped carrying all the weight and reached out.  I simply fell into the arms of those around me and magically solutions popped up, people came to my aide and my situation was solved. 

Know that you too are being carried by this same grace, there is a community of loving others that will be there to catch you when you fall and carry you if need be.  Practice your yoga as a way to see through this “spiritual wilderness” to the next face that may need you to carry them.  Our journey in this life is simply to to remember what we have always known:  We are one, we are already home and we possess all we need to be happy, joyous and free

 
"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; 
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 
To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, 
whether by healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived." 
 

 

Hoping this email finds you appreciating the amazing energy of spring.  As the world around us displays its enduring beauty, so we must come to realize we are part of all of creation unfolding.  Our interactions with each other, the world and ourselves have a tremendous impact whether we see the effects or not.  Shopping at our local supermarket yesterday, I was filled with such a sense of community and love as row by row,  I was greeted by neihbors, students, and friends; hugs and greetings of concern and well wishes abounded in our interactions (it took me twice as long to shop, but it was worth it).

  Keep your life simple, realize that it is in the small everyday acts of kindness that make a life meaningful, joyous and productive.  Go where your heart leads you, be quick to laugh and eager to give.  We don’t have to accomplish grandiose acts of valor in order to “help one life breathe easier”.  Mother Theresa said to “do small things with great love”.  Take pride in your small acts of kindness today and live this day well!!!
