Greetings from YFL, and Happy New Year!!! If you read the YFL January newsletter yesterday, you know that I challenged you via my poem, Resolute Breath, to stop each day (365), and rest in your breath for as long as you need to slow down life’s pace. It is an easy, and very transformative practice. I encourage you to take the challenge!!!

This week will usher in 2017, as we “weigh in” with our hand weights. The practice is strong, exhilarating, and powerful!!! Our Sanskrit focus relates to our 2017 daily focus, the breath, or “PRANAYAMA”, one of the 8 limbs of yoga practice. It means to control the breath with ease, and if you accomplish this practice, the benefits are manifold. Our mudra, is “USHAS”, to connect to all things good in life. Your meditation focus is “REST IN THE BREATH”, and may be practiced as you listen to “Sacred Earth’s”-Bhakti Hreem.

Sophie begins a new four week Ayurvedic Transformation series next Monday, 1/9, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m., and the cost is $99. You must pre-register and pre-pay. Kim’s monthly Mommy and Me class will meet next Monday, from 11:00 a.m.-Noon. The cost is $10 for one child, and $15 for two. Please pre-register and pre-pay.
