Triple “R” Week: Restore, Renew, and Relax!!!

img_4138-2

Greetings from YFL!!!

Last week we worked very rigorously with hand weights, and bearing of our own body weight!!! This week we are going to slow down the pace, and focus on deep, slow, prolonged stretching with the support of our props. This practice will also allow our minds to slow down, and just rest within the sanctuary of our breath, practice, and ambient music. This week’s mudra is for “Inner Peace”, and is called “Be Still”. This hand gesture calms the nerves. Our Sanskrit focus is “Advaita” or “Oneness with All”. A focus of Universal compassion and connection. Your meditation music is from Kiran Murti’s “Sweet Indian Dream”, and your mediation focus is “Just Be”.

It has not been placed on the website schedule, yet, that Deb has changed her 9:30 a.m. class on Saturday mornings to a NEW THEME…”Sukha and Stirrha” or “Yin and Yang”. It is now a 60 minute class comprised of 15 minute of gentle standing asanas and movement (Yang), and 45 minutes of Yin yoga. This class is deeply penetrating, completely balanced, and very meditative. It is appropriate for ALL LEVELS. We invite you to try it out some Saturday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

Our 200-hour 2017 Teacher Training program begins this Wednesday, 2/8. Our next group of trainees will be graduating in June of 2017!!! As part of this training we are offering two events, which are open to the community: 3/25 Yogapuncture from 3-5 p.m. $40, and 4/8 An EnCHANTING Kiran workshop from 1-3 p.m. $15 pre-pay, or $20 at the door. Please pre-register with Deb for each event ASAP. Our next FREE drum circle event will be linked to the Spring Equinox. We will meet from 5-6 p.m. on Sunday, March 12th.

Have a fabulous week, and as always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb
