Yoga this Week – Kirtan on Sunday & New Class Forming!!

**Scroll Down for important schedule updates**
“Clay is molded into vessels and because of the space where there is nothing you can carry water. 
Space is carved out from a wall and because of the place where there is nothing you can receive light. 
Be empty, and you will remain full…”
                                       Lao-Tzu

Dearest Yoga Students

Hoping this email finds you enjoying the bright morning sunshine and aware of all that you have been given in your life.  The more we become empty, the more we become full.  When we give ourselves time to become quiet, stilling the inner chatter of our minds and our bodies, we can become receptive to our lives instead of trying to control the direction.  Try to carve out a little emptiness in your lives as the days become shorter.    If you give yourself the gift of quiet reflection; whether you come to yoga class, journal, sit in silent meditation or cuddle with a loved one, you will allow yourself to be filled with the love, light, energy and peace that is always there for the taking.  A vessel that is full has no room;  so open your doors and windows, de-clutter your inner house and make space for the things that truly matter.

 Kirtan Sunday, November 8th at 3-5pm at Gentle Strength Yoga in Mt Sinai (656-5357)
Kirtan is a call and response form of group chanting that is known to calm the mind, lift the spirits and raise vibrations!  Plus, its fun!!  Join me on harmonium, Dave on Guitar and Jim on percussion as we join together to feed the hungry among us!  $15 per person with an item to be donated to our local Food pantry (non-perishable food items, toiletries, and/or paper goods are always a good idea)

New Gentle Therapeutic Class Forming:  Calling all those who are more inclined to practice a very gentle/therapeutic form of yoga.  This class will be for those new to yoga or simply feel a gentler class is most appropriate due to physical, emotional or spiritual issues.  The class will consist of pranayama (breath practices), gentle yoga postures, philosophy and meditation.  I am looking at either 10 to 1115am on a Monday or a Wednesday.  This will be a session class to start (4 classes for $48).  We need at least four to sign up.  Let me know if you are interested, feel free to pass on the information to someone you feel could benefit.

By popular demand, I am blending essential oils for your enjoyment at home.  Many of you have asked me for the blends I offer during our classes, if you are interested go to my website and click on the Essential Oil blends tab.  I will have some available for purchase when you come to class or you can contact me to order.  This is my newest passion!!

Stay tuned for our next Reiki Circle & Restorative Yoga coming soon

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Cherish this day. Honor the memories.  Keep your eyes open, your ears clear and your words sweet. Let go of the unnecessary and gather close to what is dear. Practice presence, focus on the heart and be sure that wherever you are there is always an opportunity to bring compassion and love to whoever crosses your path. Yoga is connection.  When we connect to the things that really matter like;  relationships, health, service, love, appreciation and gratitude we really can  restore our world to wholeness.

Wednesday October 28th – 7 to 9pm

Amy Perri, ERYT500/Reiki Practitioner & Benjamin Craig, Lic. Acup/Reiki Master

In this amazing session restorative yoga, reiki energy healing and acupuncture are infused with aromatherapy to indulge you in an experience that was created to bring your body, mind and spirit into harmony and wholeness.

This session provides a gentle introduction to the powerful, healing qualities of acupuncture.  Each restorative yoga pose is gently complimented by acupuncture points that have the ability to release blocks, move vital chi (life force energy), boost your immune system, calm emotions and relax the mind.

  • Restorative yoga postures are supported by blankets, pillows, straps and bolsters to relieve tension, stress & open energy in the body.
  • Reiki Healing is a non-invasive channeling of universal healing energy with the intention of loving kindness sent to the receiver.
  • The creative art of aromatherapy (use of pure essential oils) allow your body and mind to relax even deeper, while lifting the emotions it creates an atmospheric shift in the room.

First come, first serve – This workshop will fill up – Register as soon as possible.

Due to the nature of this class we must limit attendance to ten participants.  These workshops do fill up! Please register as soon as possible.  Payment of $55 is due by October 24thto hold your spot. (No refunds after 48 hours prior to session)

Never give up. No matter what is going on. Never give up.

Be compassionate. Not just with your friends but with everyone. Be compassionate.

And I say again, Never give up. No matter what is going on around you. Never give up. Never give up.

-The Dalai Lama

~

Sometimes we feel as if we can’t go on. The mountain is too big, the task too daunting, the yoga pose too difficult, the situation too unmanageable.   It is always helpful to remember that even the most incredible tasks begin  by taking the next or first step, however small or insignificant that step may seem, it is a step forward non the less. Even if it means stepping back, collecting your thoughts, formulating a plan or just taking repose.  Keeping our minds on the action we need to take and letting the result rest in the hands of the universe, allows us to be in the present moment, even in difficult times.   You are enough, you have everything you need to move forward.  All you have to do is believe in yourself, let go of excuses and just begin.

“As for the complex ways of living, I love them not, however much I practice them.  In as many places as possible, I will get my feet down to the earth”  Thoreau

Dear Yoga Students,

What a glorious weekend to get your feet down to earth.  Hope you enjoyed the sun as well as the chill in the air.  Isn’t it really the simple things that warm our heart.  Sitting by a fire, gazing at the stars, talking to a child; these are truly the treasures in life.     Although complex ways of living are part of being in the world, whenever possible, take Thoreau’s advice and be in nature, learn from its simplicity, and by all means, take your shoes off and get your feet down to the earth.
