Yoga this Week – Regular Schedule Resumes – December 28, 2013
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Theresa
Hari Om Dearest Yoga Students,
The end of the year is upon us. It is a time of deep reflection for most. A time to look back with compassion and illuminate the path we have walked. This time is a unique opportunity to reflect, accept and let go. You have changed, you have been changed by the experiences you have traveled through and the obstacles you have been confronted with; you do not need to hold on for the past will always be part of who you are today. The most important thing we can do is learn and let it go. In order to live the life we are meant to live, we must make space by releasing the past. If you find yourself holding on, bless whatever situation you are at odds with, trust that all of it was destined to happen and let yourself move forward, you will move forward non the less, so why not go with the flow of your life. All we have is NOW…Let us begin

I am teaching a special class tomorrow morning at 9am at Peconic River Yoga out on the North Fork if anyone is out that way, I would love to see you there. I am excited to be part of this studio as a substitute teacher as it was one of the first studios I frequented in my early days of discovering yoga. http://www.peconicriveryoga.com/schedule.html

Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs that Impede you on Your Path to a Fulfilling Life
Join author and teacher Brian E. Miller as we unite ancient wisdom with modern science and psychology to explore and implement simple yet very powerful creation tools
that will give you the power to manifest the life you wish to experience.

Yoga this Week – December 23, 2013
I hope you are finding time to truly feel the precious moments in your life as they pass. As we come into this last week of the year, take time to reflect with compassion on all the places you have been. Reflect on those things that remained the same and the things that have changed; within you and around you. Allow yourself some quiet time to go within and connect to the silence amidst the rush of comings and goings. Thank you to all the beautiful yogi goddesses that filled the room on Winter Solstice night! It was so heart warming to hear all of your intentions and watch you all connect to each other as a spiritual community!!
–
I wish for you all a happy, healthy, joy filled holiday season!
A deep bow of gratitude from me to you, Sat Nam.

Winter Solstice Celebration Tomorrow Night! Wednesday December 18th at 7pm
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.
–
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)

Happy Full Cold Long Night Moon!
See you Soon!

Yoga this Week – December 15, 2013
“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”
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.

Yoga this Week – December 1, 2013
“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-Tsu
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.

Yoga this Week – November 24, 2013
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.
