Pose of the Month: Tadasana – Mountain
When it comes to moving from a place of hope, there is a lot to be said for coming from a space of clarity and grounded vision. Such a place in an asana practice for this, is our Tadasana, or Mountain posture. Tadasna is a place where we have endless choice, opportunity and where that Read more about Pose of the Month: Tadasana – Mountain[…]
A Time for Hope: Intentions for the New Year
The New Year comes at us FAST, and for many of us this is a time to reset, to recharge, to reevaluate. For others it is a time of exasperation, as we feel that sense of overwhelm for things that we feel did not happen over the year prior. We have chosen to focus on Read more about A Time for Hope: Intentions for the New Year[…]
Meditation for Peace: Compassion Meditation
It is our hope that your holiday season, whether that is going on now, was at the beginning of the month, or is yet to come, had some moments of peace. For some of us that is a moment of solitude, for others it is being surrounded by loved ones from far away. The beauty Read more about Meditation for Peace: Compassion Meditation[…]
Yoga Philosophy: The Gunas – Sattva Peace/Purity
As in all of life, yoga loves to categorize life in order to make sense of our everyday experience and to give us things to work towards. In our pursuit of peace, this month we take a look at Sattva, one of the gunas described in Chapter 14 in the Bhagavad Gita. Gunas, of which Read more about Yoga Philosophy: The Gunas – Sattva Peace/Purity[…]
Yoga Benefits: Peace of the Heart!
There are SO many ways in which we seek out Peace in our lives, and to each one of us, and in each and every moment what we will find peaceful will be something different. There is something quite fascinating about that part of the human experience. Yesterday for me it was a pack of Read more about Yoga Benefits: Peace of the Heart![…]
Pose of the Month: Balasana – Child’s Pose
We all have different peaceful places. Places where we feel at ease, where we feel the quiet and the calm that allows us the space to truly rest. Those places are truly sacred, and are places that we can return to again and again when the time calls. For some of us those are destinations, Read more about Pose of the Month: Balasana – Child’s Pose[…]
Mudras for Surrender
As we look at our last day focusing on surrender, and transition into our month of Peace, we will spend some time with Mudras, the ancient practice of harnessing energy through the hands. Anyone who has practiced or received Reiki knows that there is a way to channel one’s energy through the hands, and in Read more about Mudras for Surrender[…]
Surrender into Gratitude through Sympathetic Joy!
Our last Yogi Reads was the sublime ‘Real Love’ by Sharon Salzberg, which looked at the many avenues that we have for connection with one another. So often, she points out, and we often see in our own lives, that we skew toward the negative and the comparative, even in our most treasured connections. We Read more about Surrender into Gratitude through Sympathetic Joy![…]
Yoga Philosophy – Prakriti and Purusha
When we trace yoga back to the ancient texts, we have the ability and option to open ourselves to many explanations of the world and how we came to this place and understanding. One of those avenues of understanding is the difference between the Prakriti and Purusha. For many of us, this is a very Read more about Yoga Philosophy – Prakriti and Purusha[…]
Yoga Benefits: Self Care
We believe that yoga is about more than self-care, though all the other elements and components of yoga stem from our own connection with our own wellness and true nature. As we continue on a path of surrender, we look to see what we hope to gain, and what we can let go of in Read more about Yoga Benefits: Self Care[…]
