Greetings from YFL!!! This week we will focus on using the wall as our prop for resistance!!! This will increase your power, strength, and stability in the asana practice. Our Sanskrit focus will be “SHAKTI”, as we tap into our inner source of Power and Strength. Our Mudra (hand gesture) focus will be The “PRAN”, which promotes stability, strengthens the eyes and brings inner peace, stamina, and confidence. It helps us tap into our inner fire, and reveals our inner strengths, abilities, and possibilities.

We will continue our ongoing “Plank Challenge”, as we up our stay time to One Minute!!! We are gradually building to THREE!!! I will encourage you to continue the 30 minute, 30 day challenge with the three additional core poses. Remember they are described in my 7/25 blog.

Our new Fall schedule will be posted soon, and will take effect on Monday, September 19th. Our 10th anniversary celebration of Yoga For Life will commence the week of October 16th. Deb is planning many exciting activities that week. So, invite  friends and family to join in the fun, and you will both receive a FREE CLASS for the their first visit  to YFL!!! All the week long festivities will be detailed in the September newsletter.
