Our Annual Winter Solstice Celebration is tomorrow night at 7pm here in our yoga room.  Please let me know if you are coming if you haven’t already!  This is one of my most favorite holiday parties of the season!!  Take this time to step out of the comings and goings and become aware how darkness turns to light and endings become beginnings.

–surya-namaskar

Remember the Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and the shortest day but what that really means is that we are celebrating the return of the sun!!

Reminder about what to bring

(What Not to Bring:  Your Mat)

*Bring an image, word, drawing to put on our Community Yoga Vision Board.  Something you wish to see more of in our world for 2014

*Bring a donation for our food pantry (non-perishable food or toiletries item)

*Bring a percussion instrument if you have it for the chanting section

*Dress Festively (Think Winter Solstice:  Blues, purples, dark burgundies, sparkles, shimmers, you get the point.  Festive does not necessarily mean dressed up)

“All you need is love.  The Beatles said it, and the Bible said it, and every wise saint who has ever spoken has sad it….Sure, there are other great things in life:  knowledge, and power, and spiritual understanding.  “But these shall pass away” (Paul writes in the New Testament).  “Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away…And these shall remain:  Faith, Hope, and Love.  But the greatest of these is Love”

Elizabeth Lesser from “Broken Open”

hart trea

Amidst the comings and goings and rush of the Holiday Season, take time to remember what is truly important.  It is love that binds us to our family, not blood.  It is Love that connects us to our community, not just geography.  It is Love that connects us to our true essence, not intellectual knowledge.  Become aware of any tendency to create that picture perfect holiday, the one we see in media or read about in books.  Open your heart, feel into that everlasting quality of love that surrounds you and is inside you.    As effortlessly as the snow falls from the sky and returns once again to its source,  allow your love to flow and float knowing that truly “Love is All You Need”.

Yoga this Week – December 8, 2013 – Note Change in Winter Solstice Celebration

**Note Winter Solstice Celebration date has changed to Wednesday, December 18th 7-9pm**

Greetings Dear Yoga Students,
We all know that change is inevitable, but yet we still cling to the known, the familiar, the comfortable.  George Harrison once said, “If we aren’t changing, we aren’t growing”.  Everything that grows must change.  It is just as important to our well being to accept and embrace change as it is to breathe.  Enjoy the moments of your day, embrace all that is in your life with enthusiasm knowing that you will never pass through this day again.  Be open to the shifting landscapes, the rise and fall of emotions, the ebb and flow of energy.  When the waves of change seem to be harsh and the seas are rough around you, remember that you are part of the ocean of movement and that, inevitably, we are being led towards are true direction.

“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…”

Greetings dear yoga students,
Are you having a good day?  If you are taking the time to read this email, chances are that you are having a “good” day.   It is very helpful to remember that at any given moment our entire world could be turned upside down and reality as we know it may vanish forever.  Examine how you define a “good” day.  Are you safe, healthy and of sound mind?  Is your perception clouded with some vision of what a good day is “supposed” to look like?     If something has disturbed your piece of mind, work at becoming empty.  Empty of the past, empty of expectations and empty of judgments.  In every moment, we have the opportunity to refine our minds, become present and open up to that grace that is always waiting to fill us up with its light.  We are vessels that are meant to channel the finest quality energy to ourselves and others, however, a channel needs to be clear in order for that energy to flow.  Empty, carve out space, clarify your thoughts and be open to this perfectly “good” day.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.  ~ Albert Schweitzer

Dear Yoga Students,

Much gratitude now and always to all of you who show up week after week to your yoga mat.  Whether you realize it or not, your presence in class not only lights your own flame but also supports others that practice beside you on their path.  Sometimes all we need is a spark to rekindle our flame; a smile, a kind work, a new idea, a sweet heartfelt hug.  Never underestimate the power a small gesture can create.  May you and yours enjoy the small moments, those precious times together when we express our gratitude for each other and all we have in our lives.

**The road is all paved and ready so classes can   be held in our cozy, warm  yoga room; yay!***

“Without intention, all these postures, these breathing practices, meditations, and the like can become little more than ineffectual gestures. When animated by intention, however, the simplest movement, the briefest meditation, and the contents of one breath cycle are made potent.”

                                                                      Donna Farhi

 

Good Morning Dearest Yoga Students,

It feels wonderful to be wide awake on this glorious November morning.    Setting an intention can be extremely powerful, not only for your yoga practice but for your day, your week or your life.  With an intention set, our mind seems to calm down and we can rest in the fact that we know we are doing the right thing; that we are on course.

Whatever you are doing today, after reading this, stop for a moment or two and see if an intention for this day comes up for you.  It could be an intention to remain calm if difficulties are awaiting you.  It could be an intention to release judgement or cultivate joy inside yourself.  Whatever you wish for yourself, try setting an intention to cultivate that quality inside.  If you want to be happier, intend to be happy.  If you want more friends, intend to be friendly.  If you want more serenity, intend to act serene.  It may sound to simplistic, but it actually is.  With the full moon energy tonight,  you may want to go a step further and write your intention down to make it more concrete, the written word has much power.  As you move into your next task for the day after you read this whether you are going to do laundry, rake leaves, make breakfast for your family;  do it with an intention in your mind and notice what arises.  Live your life by design….try repeating the following mantra to keep you on your way:

“I am flowing down the river of my life, steering myself in the right direction”

Yoga this Week – Some temporary changes – Please read!

**MORNING YOGA WILL BE HELD AT AN ALTERNATE LOCATION FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS **  CONTACT ME DIRECTLY FOR DETAILS…**.NO MONDAY EVENING OR FRIDAY MORNING CLASSES THIS WEEK**

 

Greetings dearest Yoga Students

Hope this email finds you well.  As you all must know by now, chanting is one of the most enjoyable parts of my practice.  It engages all parts of the self; body, mind and spirit.  Chanting and singing with ShaktiPath a good part of this weekend has left me today with a resonance of peace, joy and unexpected energy. It was such a pleasure to see familiar as well as new faces connecting to the power of music and chant.   Much gratitude for your support.  Many more chances in the near future to join in.

 

Tuning into vibrational energy has a meditative quality that connects you to others and yourself on a very deep level; a level that must be experienced to understand. Our physical yoga practice has this amazing quality as well.  As we move through the confines of our bodies on an energetic level we go into a deeper level of ourselves; we begin to experience the boundless, eternal light vibration that we are.  Be present to this vibrational energy as you walk through your days.  Feel it in your voice, in the wind, in another’s eyes and connect with compassion to all the beauty that is available to you in the small and not so obvious places.
