June 20, 2023 - Every moment has the potential to be a special moment if you connect to it's essence.

June 15, 2023 - Spanda is a yoga concept that translates as "dynamic stillness." It's basically the stillness between movement, which means you need movement. It's cool to think about it.

May 29, 2023 - It feels good to let go of distraction and love only one thing. Today we open up to all that is around us to find right now.

May 25, 2023 - Today we let go of the outside world and venture inside to see what is happening in there.

Today we do some self-inquiry through the lens of the chakras.

We consider the differences between pleasure and splendor today.

Even inaction is considered action, since it leads to some type of result. Sometimes inaction is the best action if it's intentional, sometimes inaction is a way to runaway from necessary action.

Today we consider the Rumi poem "The Guesthouse," about welcoming all the guests that arrive in your mind each day...we'll also include physical and emotional guests.

We think about the idea of looking for the good, first, in today's class.

In this class we will find a bit more steadiness and balance.

I was thinking today how yoga is a mental elimination diet...getting rid of all that stuff that isn't good for you. That's do that today!

Today we consider the hatha yoga practice, which is the physical practice of yoga.

The definition of yoga is "to connect," at it's basic level. Today I share how my weekend was full of connections, and important connections are to everyone...we need connections.

We focus on the power of a slow & steady practice, and how that relates to life.

Today we focus on the idea that connecting to love can be done through being ecstatic, through being still, or in delighting in the self...or, all three at once.

I'm feeling a need for gratitude today. Gratitude practice really does two things, at least for me. On the one hand it helps me be reminded that there are many, many things to be grateful for. It really seems limitless. On the other hand, it gives a reprieve from all the other things in life that...

I was reminded in talking to a friend yesterday how hard it is to see yourself, and how easy it is for others to see who you are. In yoga the invitation is to do your best be your self, and it's ok to ask for help in that quest.

We'll practice a loving kindness meditation today, that is a great practice to feel more love for others as well as yourself.

Today we awaken to the love that is always present inside...sometimes it may be hidden, but it's still there. :-)

Today we enjoy going slow and steady.

Wednesday, 4.26.23 - We open in our legs, shoulder, do some twists and stay calm, as we prepare for kayaking.
