Just Breathe...
Quarterly Focus:
Reconstruct and Refurbish:
"Hatha/ Kundalini/ Restorative Yoga":
The Idea
How many times have we given our mat the look of dread before
even stepping onto it? Where does that feeling come from? For
me, I think it comes from a place of sheer complacency. It's easy
to fall prey to going through the motions and allowing our
practice to go stale. So, this quarter I encourage you to
Reconstruct and Refurbish your practice.
The Plan
If you practice on your own, this will be a little easier than if you
practice strictly in a class. Either way, take a good, long look at
your practice. What parts seem lackluster? What parts are no
longer a challenge? Look at your surroundings and see what you
can add or subtract in order to make things interesting. Maybe
add in a broom stick during your Warriors to actually feel like a
warrior, or add in some blocks for a supported Plank to help
increase stability and strength. Just a couple ideas...
The Destination
Whatever you choose remember to keep things fresh and
challenging. Anytime you need some tips, just email me or pop
into one of my classes.

April - June 2012
Spring has sprung and
summer is around the
corner, or at least that's
what we are made to
believe. With the infamous
global warming, seasons
are no longer what we
expect them to be. We find
ourselves constantly
mixing it up due to
unforeseeable weather
and are subject to different
vacation times, wearing
winter clothing perhaps in
summer, and never really
knowing when that sun is
going to come out.
If the weather can keep us
on our toes, then why
should our yoga be any
different?
This quarter, change it out,
wring it out, and hang it out
to dry. You already know
your practice, as does your
body, so why not add
something challenging and
fun?
Blocks, bolsters, furniture,
cleaning equipment, the
great outdoors: just a few
suggestions to change it
up.
If you find you didn't like
your new experiment, no
harm done, because in the
process you tried
something new. If you find
new and fun challenges,
just remember to change it
out again in the near future.
Let yourself have a spring
break, summer vacation, or
whatever seasonal break
that may apply to this
quarter. You can always go
back to your old routine in
the Fall.
Let the science fair begin!!!

:: Up-Coming Workshops :: April-June 2012
Yoga 101 Workshop:
Ever wanted to join a friend for a yoga class, but felt like you
just didn't have the skills to follow? Or maybe you used to be a
prime time yogi but have recently gone rogue and are looking
to dust of the rust. Whatever your reason, this workshop is
geared to get you up and running.
We will start off with a brief overview of what yoga is, where it
came from, and what it can do for you. Following we will break
down the basics of postures, work on our breathing technique,
and then put it all together in an easy to follow session.
This is your workshop, so an open dialogue is encouraged as
every body is different. Be prepared to learn something new
about yourself, and hopefully have a good laugh or two along
the way; it's just yoga after all.
