Greetings from YFL, and Happy Summer!!! I know, I know, the solstice isn’t until later this month, but school is out, so it feels like summer!!! With the weather warming up this is the perfect time to cool down with “restorative yoga”, and thus this week’s emphasis on restoring, renewing, and relaxing. Our Sanskrit focus is “Radha” or success and fortune, as we contemplate gratitude for all that we have. The hand gesture or mudra this week is the “Budhi”, which regulates and brings balance to our water metabolism, and also improves our sense of taste. We can’t wait to see you on the mat this week!!!

There is still time to register for the “Stay Centered 1-day Retreat” @ beautiful Vina de Lestonnac Retreat Center in the heart of our stunning Temecula wine country. Sophie will lead our Ayurvedic yoga practice, I will lead the chanting, meditation, and yoga nidra, and Jill will conduct the afternoon acrylic painting. All day is $79, morning with lunch is $54, and afternoon only is $39 (no lunch). We will begin at 9 a.m., and conclude at 4 p.m. The deadline for registration is 6/21/14.

Deb’s Annual Fall Retreat is in stunning Sedona, Arizona this year from 9/25-10/2/14. The deadline for registration is 6/25/14. Deb has a slideshow about the retreat, and informational flyers, with all the pertinent details. Stop in or call, if you have questions.

Our summer schedule will begin on Monday, 6/23/14, and will continue with ALL of our current offerings!!! Balance your summer with yoga every week!!!—Namaste’, Deb
