In this wild, beautiful,
crazy, precious life we need tools, ways of living and Being, which help us to
stay connected to our center.
Life is not inherently stressful, busy, and hard but it can
feel that way to many of us. Yoga offers us a beautiful system that helps us to
integrate body, mind, and spirit. It also offers us a powerful framework for
not only living in accordance with our Self, but also how to live in harmony in
our relationships.
The essence of Yoga is this integration of body, mind, and
spirit through practices that enhance the mind-body-heart connection. These
techniques awaken strength, poise, grace, and the development of centered
awareness even in the midst of chaos and turmoil.
Who wouldn’t benefit
from more of this?
Join me in this five week journey through the yamas. Don’t
worry, that’s just a fancy Sanskrit word that basically means “restraint”.
These so called restraints are not quite as limiting as they might first
appear. They actually create the most awesome containers that encourage us to
live and love in peace with ourselves and one another.
The focus of this
online offering is about You + Your Relationships. After all, isn’t life one
big relationship? Let us consider. We
have:
Our relationship to our Self.
Relationship to our family of origin, spouse or partner, friends,
children, co-workers, community, the clerk, and yes, even your barista. And we
must include our very own Mama Nature, the environment.
How about your relationship to passions, goals, dreams,
intentions? Your relationship to your beliefs, habits, and the truths you have
owned.
Friend, there is so much more.
Why is this
exploration worthy of your time and attention?
Because if you are reading this, then you too feel the call
to live life intentionally. To be awake and aware in this world. To love more
fully and joyfully. You are devoted to a life of meaning and purpose.
This doesn’t mean we are perfect, that we don’t slip and
make mistakes. Oh no, this is not the place for judgments and righteousness.
This is the place where we each get to
show up, turn towards our light, compassionately reflect, and consciously
choose how we want to show up for ourselves and each other.
Will you bring your strengths,
your vulnerabilities, your joys, your hopes, your regrets, your sorrows and
join me on this glorrrrrious adventure?
I so hope you will.
For five weeks you
will receive an email from me three times per week… Monday, Wednesday &
Friday. Each week we’ll journey through the five yamas, playing with one
per week. You’ll have to digest, ponder, and play with the words, stories, and
exercises presented. You can open and read each email at a time that feels
convenient for you. We’ll also have a private Facebook forum for those of you
wanting to connect in an online environment.
I’m also planning to teach my classes around the yamas
during the five week course. Local yogis will have a chance to explore these
practices on the yoga mat.
For those of you
wanting to dive a step deeper I am offering a coaching session in addition to
the class. This is for any of you wanting personal attention as it relates
to the work we’ll be exploring and personal practices for you to engage in.
