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.“A Mother’s Love need not be Deserved”Erich FrommYoga this Week

“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.

May all hearts be at ease. May our contentment promote the energies to alleviate suffering and turn ignorance into knowledge. May the cultivation of santosha guide us to courageous action, deeper community and greater love of all sentient beings.
Swami Shraddhananda
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,
Santosha is one of the Niyamas outlined in the eight limbs of yoga. Niyamas are ethical practices that cultivate inner peace and awareness about ourselves. Santosha means contentment. To be content with whatever is. Contentment is now, not when things get better, not when we have all we think we need, it is now, in this moment. It allows us to love all of life, opening our hearts and clearing it out of judgment. Santosha frees up the hard drive of our minds and hearts so we are able to allow life to exactly what it is…perfection.

“May you walk in Beauty and may you be aware that you already do”
Navajo Blessing
Happy Snowy Spring! Spring is a time of renewal and birthing that which has been dormant within the earth body of your heart. Beauty is always available when you choose to see it. Its easy to walk outside on a perfectly sunny day and walk in beauty, it is in the times of foul weather and grey skies that we need to work a little harder to see it. Whether in the fallow periods when we feel we are stagnant, dark times when it’s hard to find the light or in moments of grief when sadness wraps around our hearts like a heavy blanket, beauty waits to be found. May you know today, that whatever your life is presenting to you, like the weather outside that we can’t control, we can choose to see, feel and hear all that is beautiful and choose to walk in beauty. As I type this a cardinal is singing his beautiful song and his red color seems to be just the perfect accent to the white branch he sits upon as if beckoning me to simply be aware.

Hari Om Dear Yoga Students,
Hope this email finds you experiencing freedom in the present moment. When depression or anxiety takes the center stage in your life, check in and ask yourself; Am I pining over the past or fearful of the future? Chances are you will discover the source of your suffering is involved with the imagined past or the projected future. We must realize that our memories are most times selective and our thoughts about the future are shear imagination. The only moment in time that we truly can know is now. Right now you can feel, see, taste and experience your life. The point of power is always now, right under your feet and in your heart. Connect and practice peace every day, all day by remembering time and again to return to the present moment where all is possible.
