“Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. For we are the ones we have been waiting for!”

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you well and allowing yourself time to transition into this fall season that is upon us.  Try to let go of your struggles today.  Our lives truly are a sacred expression of the love we hold  within.  The moment of sacredness is always now and is always a choice we make.  Our sadhanda (practice) teaches us that in the present moment, the abundance of the universe is available to us and we are exactly where we should be.  The more we practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, the more we can live in that sacred space that is full of compassion, wholeness and healing.  Just as the journey from the head to the heart is only one breath away, the journey from the unreal to the real is within our reach.  Stop waiting for yourself to be more, do more or have more resources available to you to live from your heart’s desire.  You are the one you have been waiting for.  You are already whole, look inside to your inner light to guide you towards your soul’s purpose focusing on completing even the most mundane of tasks as sacred celebrations.  Just as your awareness in your yoga postures should spread to every part of your body, each part equally important, allow your awareness to spread to every task, every breath, every word you speak to rest on the sacredness that is within and around you.

Greetings dear yoga students,

–

This beautiful place of refuge, meditation, prayer and, of course, homemade bread, will be closing as the brothers are no longer able to maintain the property.  The full moon labyrinth walk is something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I do not want to miss this last opportunity.   With the full moon on the rise,  it is the perfect time to walk the labyrinth.  Below is a link for more information about tonight’s event and the website which can offer you a history on labyrinths, as well as the Friary itself.    If you were planning on coming to yoga class tonight, why not join me in this beautiful practice at the Friary 7 to 9pm.

Be Self-controlled!
Give!
Be Compassionate!
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
wide forward bend
This is the true aim of yoga, this is the goal.  To learn to control the mind when it leans towards selfishness, egoism, fear and negativity.  The ultimate aim of all our yoga practices are to bring our focus inward so we realize all the peace we seek comes from our true divine nature.  A yogi feels the lack of noting, therefore, there is no need for hoarding, competition or greed.  The yogi knows all comes from and all will return to the divine source; that in our natural state we are all one.
–
Be Self-Controlled by following an ethical path. Give by coming from a place of abundance.  Be Compassionate so others can gain strength from your strong spirit.
This is the aim of yoga, these are the true goals.

If you have never experienced acupuncture before, this would be a  wonderful, gentle introduction.  The  acupuncture points were specifically  chosen for  their universal healing properties including supporting the immune system, balancing energy  and creating a overall sense of relief.

Restorative yoga postures are supported by blankets, pillows, straps and bolsters to relieve tension, stress and 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 scent of essential oils allow your body and mind to relax even deeper by facilitating a calming effect.

The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots …

we’re already tied in knots. 
The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts. 
The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.”

– Max Strom

Yoga helps us to “untie the knots” not only in our overworked, overstressed bodies but also in the parts of our hearts that we seemed to have closed.  Focus your attention on this “ultimate, loving and  peaceful power in the universe” and let it calm, soothe and give you the courage and strength to untie, unwind and open up the flood gates of your hearts.  When the heart chakra is open and free, we have the ability to love and be loved, unconditionally,  and there is absolutely no greater force than that in this world or beyond.

Await the auspicious moment when one will be free from pleasure and pain, desire and a sense of worldly gain–since, attention should be on the perfection of means and not the end, which is bound to follow if the means are perfected.  To accomplish this one should scrupulously observe all aspect of sadacara 
(The Yamas which are right conduct — non-violence, truthfullness, non-stealing, moderation and non-greed)

 Avalon Yoga Hike
Be gentle with yourself and others as you strive to walk this road less traveled remembering that we truly cannot become enlightened beings by simply sitting on a meditation cushion, doing yoga poses or reading spiritual material;  WE MUST ADHERE TO AN ETHICAL PRACTICE if we are to move forward in our journey back home to our true selves and do the work we were meant to do in this lifetime. When our intention is pure, our paths will become illuminated like moonlight on a dark night and others will follow your example. Allow yourself to take risks, be willing to be vulnerable;  there is a song in your heart waiting to be sung and in walking the true and right path you will find inside you the ability to give yourself fully to your unique, beautiful style of music that lives inside your soul.

Yoga Hike at Beautiful Avalon Park

Saturday, October 18th, 915-1130am

Join me for a relaxed hike through the beautiful Avalon Park in Stony Brook where we will share a yoga class in natures studio. All levels, ages welcome. Namaste fellow adventurers!! Meet at the Duck Pond at 9:15am   Read on to note a little change of schedule…..upon further research and a preliminary walk through Avalon yesterday, I discovered that it is against park rules to do a group yoga class in the actual park as they try to reserve this special place for trail walking and contemplation. Also, the area I picked for the class, as well as the Labyrinth is closed off for Fall re-seeding. So we will now meet at the duck pond (right on Harbor Road – you can park anywhere along main street), do a brief w…arm up standing sequence (you can leave your mats in the car until we return) and end our hike back at the duck pond for a cool down class. I did acquire permission from Avalon to do a group hike and also permission from the Ward Melville Historical Society to use the area by the duck pond for yoga. Lets hope for great weather!! See below for schedule.

$15 per person with half of the proceeds to go to the Invited Inn Soup Kitchen in Rocky Point to feed the hungry among us. Bring Yoga Mat, Water and wear layered clothing and comfortable walking shoes. Please note there are no public bathrooms at Avalon Park

Schedule

9:15-9:30am Arrive and meet at the duck pond. You can park anywhere along main street and a few spots are available at the Grist Mill. (Leave your mats in the car, you won’t need them till we get back)

9:30-10am Warm up standing yoga sequence by the ponds

10-11am Explore Avalon Park

11:1130am Cool Down Yoga Class by the pond (retrieve your mat from the car and meet by the pond. You may want to place a towel under your mat if you don’t want it to get dirty)

Please rsvp to Amy at yogawithamy@optonline.net or on facebook.
