TODAY IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO HIT THE MAT AT YFL IN 2013!!! We look forward to an exciting year in 2014 with new experiences on the mat, workshops, and retreats!!!  Happy New Year from YFL!!!—Namaste’, Deb

As we conclude 2013 and move head first into 2014 we will offer “Practitioners Choice”, and each class will vote for either Yang: Keep Calm and Yoga On or Yin: Relax, Renew, and Restore. Our Sanskrit focus will be “Samyama” or self-control, self-restraint as practiced with meditation, concentration, and contentment. Our weekly mudra is “Bhumiparsha”, or the gesture of enlightenment. Come on in and usher in 2014 on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb

Come to the mat and receive the benefits of “metta” or lovingkindness for yourself, which then spreads to those around you.—Namaste’, Deb

  We are continuing our “Keep Calm and Yoga On” practice today and tomorrow. You probably feel a bit sluggish after the holiday indulgences, so come on in to YFL and detox with your practice. We look forward to seeing you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb

HAPPY HOLIDAYS YOGIS AND YOGINIS!!! YFL has a modified schedule over the next two weeks!!! We will be closed on the following dates: 12/24-12/26 and 12/31-1/2, otherwise our regular class schedule will be in effect. Our NEW WINTER SCHEDULE will take effect on 1/6, and will be posted on the website that week.

This week we will be working on balance on the mat, as well as off the mat. We maintain at one minute for the holidays with respect to our plank challenge. We will increase to 75 seconds on 1/6.

Our Sanskrit focus is SHANTI, peace, and our mudra is DHARMACHAKRA (Gesture of the turning wheel). This mudra creates harmony between our inner and outer world, signifies eternal change, and drawing upon truth and wisdom to maintain our balance.        Namaste’, Deb

This week we are up to a ONE MINUTE PLANK!!! Come join the challenge!!!—Namaste’, Deb

Good Monday Morning Yogis and Yoginis!!!

This week we will usher in the shortest day of the year, 12/21, with our Mandala Namaskar practice, with the anticipation of light bringing us out of the dark, as the days get longer, and we approach spring into more light. This practice is both rejuvenating and invigorating. Our Sanskrit focus is “Prasada”, or a state of grace and mental acuity considered a gift from Universal Source. Our mudra is “Vajrapradama” or “unshakeable trust”. We have a full week of classes planned just for you, so come see us on the mat for a respite during this frenetic time of year.—Namaste’, Deb

12/16-12/21 we will welcome the Winter Solstice, as we practice together in our Mandala formation. It will be a great way to usher in the slow progression of longer days and more light!!!—Namaste’, Deb
