Greetings!!! I have just returned from the stunning and breathtaking Sedona and Grand Canyon. I have gathered great information for planning our Fall YFL retreat, and will be hosting an organizational meeting in May. If you are interested in attending this spectacular event plan to attend if at all possible. I will post a date for this meeting next week, and I will provide all the trip details along with a short slideshow of the area.

This week at YFL we will “OPEN THE HEART” with a variety of backbends during our physical practice on the mat. Our Sanskrit focus is actually a silent mantra for opening our hearts to compassion for ourselves and all beings: AUM KAKANI NAMAHA. The weekly mudra is APAN VAYU, which is the hand gesture for maintaining a healthy heart. See you on the mat this week, and hopefully in Sedona this Fall!!!

Deb’s next Meditation I begins next Tuesday, May 6th @ 7:30 p.m. We will meet for five consecutive Tuesday evenings. The cost is $70, and there is still time to register. Call or email the studio, or register at your next yoga class.—Namaste’, Deb
