Greetings dearest Yoga Students,

In Yoga there are many dualities.  We ground down to rise up, hug in to shine out, breath in fully to exhale completely; go within to be present to what is all around us; the opposing action creates the unfolding of expansion, and beauty.

Last night my son came home beaming after  visiting a couple who had lost a child a few years back.  He said the mom had been feeling down and one of the boys suggested they visit, bring flowers and say hi.  The couple was so moved they invited the boys for dinner (feeding four teenage boys is a feat in itself!), and the visit ended up being much longer than anticipated.  The couple told stories of their teenage daughter and laughed and reminisced.  The boys were elevated, filled with pride and purpose by  lifting another; they expanded and experienced the beauty of giving.  Just as yoga poses reverberate in our bodes, I believe this experience will not be easily forgotten.

Sometimes the best things in life, are the opposite of what we think we need.  Ground down in your life today to shine out.  If your feeling defeated, down or frustrated, try giving to another and experience the expansion, the opening and the beauty that comes from giving.

Happy Memorial Day!  Let us remember and give thanks to all those who have served by giving their life to something bigger than themselves.  We all can get caught up in our egocentricity  from time to time.  It is, however, the times when we are immersed in something greater than ourselves that we feel the powerful pulse of life.   If you find yourself focusing on your own worries, problems or pain, try getting involved in something outside yourself.  In lifting another up or simply being part of something to better your community or world, you will find that the hero within you is just awaiting your invitation to arise and be remembered.

“I understood that the attachment to myself and my image … was actually taking me away from my self, away from this wonderful opportunity to just sit, just breathe….When under the sway of this obsession, my mind’s attention was always in the fantasized future, or the idealized or devalued past – never present to the reality of the moment.” ― Stephen Cope

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 unconditionally and then offer it up as a gift to those around down you.

“Grace is a wind that is always blowing.  If you really want freedom and unbounded happiness in this lifetime, set your sail now!  Learn how putting your trust in Yoga’s practical and verifiable science connects you to a wisdom that never disappoints.”

It brings me great joy to be in a position to bring yoga into each and every one of your lives.  The science of yoga provides an outlet for our creativity, a safe retreat from our hectic lives, peace of mind and strength and tone of body.  This “verifiable science”, when practiced diligently over time in all areas of our lives, has the ability to transform our very lives. Yogic ethics, physical postures, breath work and meditation grounds us, stabilizes us and most importantly frees us so we may be of service to those we come in contact with.

       “We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating; lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. We have forgotten what rocks plants and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be— to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is here and now.”

Eckhart Tolle

Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,

It is always such a blessing to present yogic philosophy to a room full of people who think yoga is merely an “exercise”.  My intention for creating the presentation I gave this weekend entitled:  “Demystifying the Art and Science of Yoga:  Why this ancient practice is so popular in our Modern Times”  was to shed some light on the whole of yoga and that its main goal is to reunite the sometimes disintegrated parts of ourselves bringing us back to wholeness.  As we know, yoga is a spiritual practice that concerns itself with relieving the suffering that is caused by our ,sometimes, painful human condition.   Yes, the physical practice is amazing but it is only the tip of the iceberg, for it is beneath the surface of the poses, deeply immersed in the practice, do we find yoga’s true teachings:  That we really are strong, that we really are sacred beings, that we really can endure and we can absolutely be free.

Greetings dearest yoga students,
Success can truly be defined by a life where our talents, and that which brings us joy, are used to serve others.  This is balance, this creates peace and joy and this is where we come alive.  Leading kirtan this morning to a classroom of young teens filled my heart with joy.  Thank you to Annalee, Jim & Dave!!.  To be able to do something I love in the service of others is something  I try to honor as true success.  Whatever your talents are, find someway to share them and your life will have meaning and your heart will be full.
