Nov. 5, 2025 - It's important to stay grounded, stay hopeful, and stay bright, everyday, including today. As The Dalia Llama said, "No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." We gotta keep shining!

Class #31 - For today's Good Morning Yoga class, we focus on the Heart Chakra. With that, we'll consider writings from the book Exquisite Love, particularly this sutra in relation to feeling more love - "Harmful association in every respect it to be given up."

Class #15 - Keeping with the chakra theme, we move on to the 3rd chakra, which is all about will power. Even a little bit of will power can help if you are feeling stick. One step forward is better than none.

Class #30 - Today we move on to the 2nd chakra, which is all about going with the flow of life. I like to think of it like you are a flowing river, and how do you respond when a boulder gets in the way? Do you easily flow around it, and do you keep running up against it, upset that it's blocking...

Class #14 - I have felt a bit ungrounded lately, which the changing of the seasons can do. So, for today, we focus on get on top of or lives by getting connected to our legs and feet. You're going to love it!

Class #29 - Today we enjoy our breathing and appreciate how noticing your breathing can change your feelings, thoughts, and general attitude.

Class #12 - Today is a reminder that you are empowered in your yoga practice to do what is right for you.

Class #27 - Today we contemplate a poem by Meister Eckhart, "Love Does That."

All day long a little burro labors, sometimes
with heavy loads on her back and sometimes just with worries
about things that bother only
burros.

And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting
than physical labor.

On...

Class #11 - This morning I was running around right before class, and had a sense that focusing on breath would help me, and you. Wow! Did it ever. Today's class we enjoy the power of noticing the space at the top and bottom of the breath, and then we have a breathing mediation at the end. So ...

Class #27 - Today we consider the idea of dharma, which here refers to "right action" or "sacred path." We are all on various dharma paths throughout life, with them coming and going. One of the main things, maybe the main thing, that helps us stick to our dharma is support from others...friends...

Class #10 - For today we think of the idea from the Bhagavad Gita, that you should commit to right action without regard to the results, or fruits, of those actions.

Class #26 - In our continued conversation about the Bhagavad Gita, today we consider the value of taking "right action," which means you are acting in your own True Nature.

Class #22 - It's raining today. It makes me think about all the kinds of listening we can do - listening to the rain, listening to nature, listening to a friend, listening to ourselves. Today we open up to everything we hear.
