Greetings from YFL!!! This week we flow, and emphasize power, as we stay the pose to build strength and endurance. It is Classic Hatha Week: Vinyasa + Power!!! Our Sanskrit focus is “AUM PURNAM”, and is a silent mantra for “peace within me, peace without”. Our mudra ( hand gesture) is the FREEDOM mudra, and it evokes a sense of “taking off into the sky like a bird”, Garuda. It allows us to revel in the endless space, freedom, and beauty of the heavens and sky, and to release from the burdens of stress.

Our Sound Bath workshop will be held on 8/25, from 1-3 p.m. This wonderful experience will be led by Betty and Peter (craniosacral therapists). Wear comfortable clothing, bring a pillow, and prepare to be taken into a deep state of bliss, as you will be surrounded by the relaxing vibrations of crystal and Tibetan bowls. The cost is $25, and we are currently taking registrants.

Deb’s next Meditation I will begin on July 9th, from 11 a.m.-Noon. Registration is still open, and the cost is $70.

YFL will BE CLOSED on 7/4 and 7/7 for the holiday week, otherwise we are OPEN for all other days, and class times.

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

Greetings from YFL!!! Happy Monday, and Happy Summer Solstice!!! This week we return to “The Wall” for resistance, focus, and alignment!!! Our Sanskrit focus will be “Aham Prema”, or “I am love”. This mantra helps to direct our energy toward grace and compassion within our world. The supporting mudra (hand gesture) is the “Savitur”, and draws upon the energy of the Sun to uplift and illuminate our spirit, warm our heart, and bring joy to our mind, body, and heart!!! Our meditation focus is the classic, “Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti”, which evokes Universal connection and Peace.

Our Sanskrit focus is “So Hum”, or the affirmation that  “I am”. It identifies individual awareness with Universal existence.
