Thank you!

I personally felt the practice yesterday to be very healing, heart opening and exploratory. Moving from posture to posture as the spirit moves us allows our bodies, minds and spirits to converge in choice and breath. Suddenly I was discovering new movements, and places I wanted to be, that were not a part of my plan for the day. The journey is the destination. M.

Through the light in you I see the light in me.

Hi all, so we are on schedule again for Sunday at 4:30. I am looking forward to practicing with you. I attended a kirtan on Friday night. Chanting, amazing music and musicians, and a group energy and vibration that was deeply felt. Kirtan is a form of call and response singing common to Indian tradition. There were two harmoniums in use last night, they are beautiful small piano-like instruments that are played by pumping a bellows while playing the keys. And there was fantastic food, kitchari, and wonderful company. Chanting and singing were an important part of my experience in Costa Rica as we chanted daily and came together on Friday nights for satsang. Satsang means 'to sit with the truth', and was a chance for us to share any personal stories or experiences in complete trust, compassion and embrace. Sharing was always voluntary and without restriction of any kind. This kind of powerful group experience has meant a lot to me and I feel that spirit in class with you each time we share yoga. We can lift each other, carry each other, hold each other, simply by witnessing our journey together, without judgment. I will post the next time there is a kirtan so that you can come and check it out if you are interested. Namaste.
