Greetings Yogis and Yoginis!!!

A new month, a new week, and another great day for yoga!!! This week we return to sculpting, toning, and strengthening, as we emphasize bearing “weight” our own, and additional hand weights!!! The May YFL newsletter should have appeared on your email desk yesterday, and if it didn’t, please let me know, and we will see that it gets to you pronto!!!

With this week’s practice we will focus on the Sanskrit term, SATTVA, or illumination and truth. It is one of the three GUNAS (strands or qualities of life).  In some interpretations SATTVA is also equated with essence, or intelligence. If this is one’s dominant guna, then the predominate nature is clear thinking, radiance, and truthfulness. The classic JNANA mudra brings balance to all three of the guns, and empowers our Higher Consciousness and knowledge. The mudra may also be accompanied with the visualization of the color white.

The next Intro to Yoga session will begin on Tuesday, May 31st, and registration is now open. The 15-hour AOY YTT unit on Meditation and Chakras is fast approaching. The deadline for registration is this Friday, May 6th. The cost is $195. Call, email, or drop-in to register.

As always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat. It is going to be a great day, week, and month at YFL!!!—Namaste’, Deb
