Yoga this week – May 25, 2015

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. – Arthur Ashe

As you celebrate this beautiful day, remember to take some time to ponder those who have lost their lives in the act of service and also the  families that live on.   
Shanti, shanti shanti.
May there be peace in our hearts, minds and world.

Greetings Dearest Yoga Students,

Have faith in your practice and the ability of your yoga to calm, nurture, enliven and release.  When we move our panic energy our practice through breath work, postures, chanting, and/or meditation we effect not only our physical bodies, but our emotional bodies as well.  Moving prana (life force energy) within ourselves allows us to be more open, more willing, more free to connect to that universal prana that is available for the taking and connects us to all beings everywhere.  In essence, it allows us to show up for ourselves and for others in our life.  Trust your yoga to move through you, all you have to do is show up and be present.  Your Yoga mat will catch you if you fall.

heart chak

A Blessed Mother’s Day to all!  I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I have.  Remember that although cultural holidays are “supposed” to be happy and joyful, they often also come with a fair amount of sadness or grief for what used to be, what we hoped would be or for who we have lost along the way.  Allow yourself to feel your feelings as much as possible.  Happiness and Sorrow are both different ends of the same stick.  Have compassion and gratitude for those around you as we honor the great mothers that surround us as well as inside of us.

May you find peace and serenity in knowing you are loved!!

Yoga this Week – May 2, 2015 – No Monday Night Class

“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins – not through strength, but through persistence”
                                   ~Buddha

Hoping this message finds you enjoying the amazing signs of spring that are popping up all around us. Think about the perseverance and patience that nature is gifted with.  The small bulbs that wait silently underground, the perennials that lay dormant waiting for the signals and signs that it is time to begin their work of opening, pushing, growing up out of the dark earth into the light.  Nature does not give up, it finds a way to regenerate.  The natural world knows what needs to be done and does not question its role in its lifetime. This truth fills me with the hope that we too can rise above our darkness and shine in all our glory. 

The Yoga Sutras tell us is it the obstacles that lead us into a deeper understanding of ourselves. Directly confronting our difficulties with clarity, compassion and persistence creates freedom.  Freedom in knowing you are never really trapped in any situation.  For today, see if you can change your perspective to any “rocks” that are in your stream.  Stay focused, do the next right thing, however small it may seem, and try and find the lesson, the jewel that is hidden within.  Today, be persistent in your journey towards balance, freedom, peace and serenity in your life.

” The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don’t leave any footprints….[The] man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints…. He never looks ahead, he never looks back,  he lives in the moment.”

Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it.

To stay with that shakiness – to stay with a broken heart, with a rumbling stomach, with the feeling of hopelessness and wanting to get revenge – that is the path of true awakening.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos,

learning not to panic, this is the spiritual path. 

– Pema Chödrön

This is the spiritual path, this is Yoga!  Sticking with the pose, the feeling, the uncomfortability of the know, the uncomfortability with the unknown, with the shakiness of feeling weak, of feeling strong of feeling vulnerable

and practicing relaxing in the midst of it all.  Learning to be still and respond with the utmost intelligent action from a place of compassion, wisdom and love:  This is the Spiritual Path – This is Yoga!

Greetings dear yoga students,

The feeling of the warm sun on my face, the sound of the cardinals whistling and the pink and blue hyacinths painting splashes of color in my garden fills my whole being with energy and joy!!  Spring has finally sprung and it was a glorious weekend to be alive. Just when we thought winter would never leave, here we are watching the grass turn green again.  Nature offers us such powerful lessons of rejuvenation, stamina and resolve.  Time to let go of the long, dark winter and breathe into the light of what’s ahead!!
