Yoga is a way of living.
If you’ve had any classes with me you know I try to teach all the limbs of yoga, as a way of being.
So, how do we yoga our COVID experience?
I love, love, love sharing yoga, meditation and tai chi practices with young people. They always wind up showing me more about being than I could ever show them.
Seeing beyond the surface and truly seeing a person is a blessing, but it also feels like a purpose in life. And no matter what, act and speak and intend kindness.
Yoga with young people can be freeing and wondrous. When allowed to set their own guidelines they tend to choose kindness over cruelty, and joy over judgment. Anything become possible, even headstands!
I’m honored to be spinning around in this cosmic confusion with you all. Each beautiful, sassy, silly, brilliant, intelligent, creative, generous, nerdy, queer, unique one of you.
I’ve been cleaning up at the studio – box garden and weeds really grow with a year of no tending. Dust really accumulates inside! The plan – and I use that term loosely – is to open this weekend for a trial run of classes.
Freedom and feeling are imperfect and messy and juicy and intense and subtle. No matter whether you want to feel goofy or balancing on one limb and still, step into it with a playful, open, willing nature.
Not letting it show is not letting it go. It’s just hiding it. It didn’t go anywhere except into an abscess of my body-mind-spirit where it’s causing infection.
Yoga frees us from a life of “feeling bypass” to one of immersion and growth and balance.
My eyes are tired.
They are tired of screens and electronic lighting.
They are tired of seeing the harshness of the world; trying to see things your way; not seeing what I need to. The eyes – the windows to the outside world and the portals to our inner vision and inner spirit guides – need just as much attention as hips and core and legs.
Greetings all. I hope and pray you are all well. We are considering our future in the virtual world and the real-life, brick-and-mortar world. Both afford meaningful ways to deliver mind-body healing practices (yoga, tai chi, meditation) with accessibility and inclusivity in mind (our mission). TAKE SURVEY HERE They also both have limitations and responsibilities.
“What better day than our Inauguration Day for us to maybe keep in mind our greater connection? “So, what is it that we wish to send out, not just what we want to develop for ourselves on our mat? …But maybe we can then carry that in how we help one another, in how we listen to one another and how we forgive one another. “
Our studio exists because of donations and support from the community. We believe yoga should be affordable and accessible to all. Please consider supporting our mission:
