Just Breathe...
Quarterly Focus
Silence In: "Hatha/Kundalini/Tantra Yoga":
April: Silence in Sight
Spring is the time of year when we open our eyes a little brighter
and see the world again through a fresh new perspective. I tend to
push boundaries and would encourage students to experience
their yogic practice through sight deprivation. Seeing or rather not
seeing our practice and exterior movements/appearance gives us
both a gift and a challenge. How much of your practice are you
actually living and how much are you only seeing?
May: Silence in Touch
Just before we start to really get that summer buzz, we start to
enjoy all the amazing aromas, textures, colors, and food that start
to really snap us back to life and energize us. My student challenge
for this month is to be absorbed by the things you would
consume. Now I know this sounds a little ethereal, but in reality it's
much more grounded than you might think. Allow yourself to be
available to the sensation of touch rather than being a consumer
without feeling.
June: Silence in Sound
Summer is near/here/buzzing all around us. The streets are busy
and it seems like everyone is on their phone or laptop. Challenge
yourself to unplug. Unplug from everything when you practice:
including any outside music source. Allow your breath and body
to be the only instruments in your practice. And you guessed it,
this includes no outside music. If you have to, use ear plugs to
generate that external lull and internal hum.
April- June 2013
Spring has sprung and
summer is around the
corner, or at least that's
what we are made to
believe. With the infamous
global warming, seasons
are no longer what we
expect them to be. We find
ourselves constantly mixing
it up due to unforeseeable
weather and are subject to
different vacation times,
wearing winter clothing
perhaps in summer, and
never really knowing when
that sun is going to come
out.
If the weather can keep us
on our toes, then why
should our yoga be any
different?
This quarter, change it out,
wring it out, and hang it out
to dry. You already know
your practice, as does your
body, so why not add
something challenging and
fun? SILENCE
Try turning the volume
off;not just on an audible
level. We take in noise in all
sorts of ways. Read the
Quarterly Focus for
suggestions and ideas on
how to tune it out and turn
your practice up.
Let yourself have a spring
break, summer vacation, or
whatever seasonal break
that may apply to this
quarter. If you find you didn't
like your new experiment, no
harm done, because in the
process you tried
something new. You can
always go back to your old
routine in the Fall.
Let the science fair begin!!!

:: Up-Coming Workshops :: Winter-Spring 2013
Ever wanted to join a friend for a yoga class, but felt like you
just didn't have the skills to follow? Or maybe you used to be a
prime time yogi but have recently gone rogue and are looking
geared to get you up and running.
We will start off with a brief overview of what yoga is, where it
came from, and what it can do for you. Following we will break
down the basics of postures, work on our breathing technique,
and then put it all together in an easy to follow session.
This is your workshop, so an open dialogue is encouraged as
every body is different. Be prepared to learn something new
about yourself, and hopefully have a good laugh or two along
the way; it's just yoga after all.
