Yoga - Living life with dignity and poise



"Practicing yoga does not eliminate life's challenges, and neither does it provide us with a convenient trap-door to escape from life's distractions. Instead, Yoga gives us the skills to meet life head-on with dignity and poise."


- Donna Farhi, Bringing Yoga to Life
 
 
 
Today set aside 15 minutes to sit quietly and follow the breath. Let go of the desire to be anybody but your self, or be doing anything but what you are doing at this moment. When we release that outer body that is in constant contact with the worldly distractions and desires and move inward we begin to see a shift and find that at this moment everything is all right in our world right now. 
 
 
As you start to come back to the world keep that open attitude that life is precious, we are precious and find joy in each moment you have.
 
 
Namaste.

Restore and Rejuvenate from the Core



 
During this spring session I am offering two 4-week workshop classes.
The first I created is called Restore From the Core and then starting in May - Rejuvenate From Within.

I went into preparing for these workshops from the basis that most of us are living such stressful lives that we all could use an hour or two break each week.  Giving yourself that permission to pause and recuperate really is a first step in saying you are worth that self care. After giving so much of ourselves to family, friends and work to give time to ourselves is important.

From that I realized I wanted the workshops to be something more then just that break one evening a week so I have included email reminders throughout each week.  Some are a reflection of what was taught or a reminder to take a few minutes each day for yourself, without guilt or a need to justify.  Benefitting your own body, breath and mind state can only be positive for those around you. They will feel the calmness you are radiating and possibly feel calm also in your presence.

In sharing this I have to say it has been a great reminder to myself to stop, breath, stay present and reflect on the beauty that is around me. I feel so very grateful to have the many people in my life helping me to stay on this path!

Namaste!

If you are interested in joining the next workshop - Rejuvenate from Within please contact me to register.
I would also be happy to bring these workshops to your workplace or other group settings.

Purusartha - Four Aims of Life

The four purusartha or the aims of life, provide guidelines of how one can lead a virtuous life.

They are:

Right sense of duty: dharma - the foundation of yama and niyama

Wealth or life's requirements: artha

Desire for progeny and accomplishments: kama
When desires are properly acknowledged and mindfully fulfilled one moves towards freedom

Emancipation where one becomes free from the cycles of life: moksa

Namaste.
