New Yoga Class

Saturday 9am Yoga Reboot and Wednesday 6:30pm

Happy Fall Everyone!

I was in the woods yesterday and everyone I passed on the trail had a huge smile on their face. The weather is beautiful, the leaves gorgeous and the air crisp. After a summer of grilling and garden salads our desire to cook again has been turned on.

So, I was in a deep meditation recently one Sunday morning. An ecstatic state started upon me. I should mention it was the 5th day of a 5-day juice fast. For all of history people have fasted to talk to God and to get right with themselves. I just had a deep push to do it, and you know it's the right thing when your friend shows up with 15 green juices and supplements!

So, the fifth morning I woke up and just couldn't get out of bed. I was deeply exhausted. My arms in particular just didn't want to move. This is when the ecstatic state began. I have had mystical experiences my whole life, powerful dreams, intuition, so this is not out of the ordinary for me. Anyway, the mystical state started and Shiva the lord of yoga came upon me. I had a little break down, crying and realized how much I missed yoga. How deeply imbedded in my soul it is. Years ago, I had another mystical experience where my soul flew out of my body and into the body of a tantric monk in India. I was so surprised I flew right back into my own body in meditation.

This is reminiscent of Carl Jung having a dream of a yogi and when he woke up, he said, 'I'm not sure if I dreamed him or he was dreaming me'.

All this to say it is time to get back to a deep yoga practice. Yoga is a whole life system. It is the study of consciousness and understanding the building blocks of nature through Jyotish (Vedic astrology), Ayurveda (nutrition, herbs, lifestyle choices) and Patanjali's 8 limbs of living. All classes will include meditations, movement, breath and teachings.

I am converting my art studio into a small yoga studio. I am not sure how many mats will fit but there will be some for a select local group. Then of course we will zoom each class. I have some west coast people coming so we will be starting at 9:30am Saturday mornings to help them out a little bit. And another class will be 6:30 Wednesday nights.

Saturday will be a return of the Restorative Yoga with roller, balls, straps etc. Wednesday night will be whatever is in the air and astrology for that time.

I hope to have everything up and running November 1st. I will send out another missive where class passes can be bought.

Until then, Namaste
