Greetings from YFL!!!

Yes, we are OPEN ON PRESIDENTS’ DAY!!! So, come on in to YFL!!! This week we emphasize a form of “Classic Hatha Yoga” referred to as, “Sukha-Sthira”, or the balancing of opposite forces into union within our body, mind, and heart by way of our breath and asana practice. Sukha is equivalent to serenity, joy, peace, beauty, elegance, grace or “Yin”, and Sthira is equivalent to stability, strength, support, power, and balance or “Yang”. This week we will focus on integrating these two elements within the flow of our practice, as we begin with about 15-20 minutes of gentle flow warmup, and then transition into a classic Yin class for the spine. This is also the format for my Saturday morning class from 9:30-10:30 a.m, “Sukha-Sthira”, so if you enjoy this week’s practice, then you may enjoy each week at that time slot. Our Sanskrit focus is “Sadhana”, or “Classical Yoga Practice”, and our mudra is the “Jnana”, or “Chin” hand gesture, which represents the seal for teaching and knowledge. We invite you to join our sacred sadhana this week and every week at YFL. Your meditation focus is “Serenity”, and your meditation music is Michael Hoppe’s “Silence of Stars”.
