Dear Friends, Students, Neighbors and Fellow Yogis,
I thank you all for your loyalty and support; I am truly grateful and blessed by your continued presence in my life. A yoga practice is following the light; one place the light dims another it ignites. Keeping true to that mystery and following the light, I see it awaken in a person or place as light follows consciousness. Being a devoted person change has been difficult to accept many times in my life. I am learning to embrace endings to keep true to my souls path, let life move me while the winds of change lift me and guide me only to find myself once again, liberated from false safety becoming simply and truly my self. The winds of change blew in with fall and I will no longer be teaching at the Yoga Tree.
Kitty Yoga in Fremont Schedule: visionarydance.com You can find me back in Fremont at Delilah’s dance studio on Fremont Ave. beginning: November 7th, Friday morning at 10 a.m.
In my ongoing weekly classes, as the fall turns to winter I have been sharing the pranayama practice with my students; the inward focus, the repetitive refinement of the breath, the energetic organization of the bandha system - I truly love this deeply calming, centering practice, where the strength of asana becomes focused inward, to the vital organs, connecting breath, body, mind and spirit.
