Greetings from YFL!!! This is “Bonus Week” at the studio, which means a split week between the end of October and the beginning of November. As a result, this week’s practice will be “Sukha-Stirha”, or the blending of the energy forces of Yin and Yang!!! The Sanskrit focus is “So Hum”, or “I am”, eternally connected in the present moment to the energy of Source, Truth, and Well-Being. The mudra (hand gesture) is “Dhanya”, or the position of the hands for evoking a sense of contemplation and meditation focus. Our meditation focus is “To Be” in the present moment where life is lived. This week’s meditation music is “Divine Imagination” by Kiran Murti.

PLEASE NOTE: YFL will NOT have its regular 6 p.m. class on 10/31 due to Halloween…Boo!!! Happy Halloween!!!  The 4:15 p.m. class WILL MEET on 10/31. The studio is open the weekend of Veteran’s Day, but will BE CLOSED on 11/23-26, in observance of the Thanksgiving Holidays. Your monthly newsletter is filled with great info for yourself, your friends, and family, concerning the holidays. Feel free to forward and share the newsletter each month.

It is going to be a great week at YFL!!! As always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb

Greetings from YFL!!! Happy Monday!!! We had so much fun celebrating our 11th anniversary at the studio last week!!! Thank you for sharing in the fun, and we express our deepest gratitude for your continued support of the studio, and our teachings!!!

This week is Classic Hatha week, and the practice will emphasize a nice blending of the forces and energy of both power and flow. The Sanskrit focus is “Prasada”, or to sit in a “state of grace”, our gift from Source. The supporting hand gesture or mudra will be the classic Jnana form. This hand gesture connects us to the energy of “Universal Wisdom and Knowledge”. The meditation focus is “Light”, and may be your contemplative focus, as you listen to the music of David Lanz, and his “Blue Largo”.

ATTENTION: Next Tuesday, October 31st, the 6:00 class WILL NOT MEET!!! Of course this is due to Halloween, and all the little Trick or Treaters!!! The 12:30 and 4:15 classes WILL MEET on that day!!! Have fun and be safe!!!

We wish you a fabulous week, it certainly will be at YFL!!! As always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb

It is back to the “WALL” for our yoga practice this week. The wall provides a beautiful prop of resistance, and will align us, tone us, and strengthen us. It will also help us remain in the present moment, and totally connected between our mind and body!!!

The Sanskrit focus is OJAS, or the energy of radiance and magnificence!!! Our mudra for the week is the hand gesture AKASHA, or the “Heavenly” mudra, which connects to “Truth” and “Source”!!!

Our meditation focus is “Truth”, and trying to remain connected to that Source energy during our daily routine!!! The music for our mediation focus is Nuages Clouds by Tom Barabas.

Greetings from YFL, and Happy Monday!!! This week’s practice will emphasize restoration!!! We invite you to come to your mat to restore, renew, and relax, as we REST UP!!! The Sanskrit focus is JNANA, or the yoga of wisdom, which promotes connecting to your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wisdom through the practice of yoga and meditation. Our mudra (hand gesture) is the BHRAMARA, or humming bee gesture. We add sound to this mudra, and this promotes relaxation, clearing of sinuses, and better communication. The meditation focus is the “Wisdom of Silence”, and you may choose to meditate to this week’s music selection, which is Sacred Earth’s “Bhakti Hreem”.
