Greetings from YFL!!! Last week we emphasized strength, power, and endurance. This week we will let that work permeate our being, as we focus on the triple “R” effects of relaxation, renewal, and restoration. We will rest the “Plank Pose Challenge”, and resume next week during classes. However, I recommend that you continue practicing for 30 seconds each day this week at home.

Our Sanskrit focus for the week is “Prasada”, or to be in a state of “grace”. Our hand gesture (mudra) will “Ganesha”. This mudra promotes heart strengthening and opening, and release of tension. It also helps us to overcome obstacles, and gives us confidence, courage, and openness toward other human beings.

Don’t forget!!! The first SEASONAL DRUM CIRCLE is this Saturday, 7/16, @ 5 p.m. Bring your drum, or any other rhythm instrument, as we circle-up to share the energy of sound vibrations and harmony. This is a FREE event at YFL!!!

This week’s mediation focus will be HARMONY, and is set to the music of James Hood’s, Pure Ceremony.

As always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb
