Eat an apple.

Like inhaling and exhaling, we assimilate the effects of our meditation and yoga practice- open body, open mind, open heart- and radiate them out to others, connecting once again to the pulsation of everything and everyone everywhere.

Inspirations

Most of the time I'm looking outside myself to have my world view corroborated. The beauty of yoga is that when we become energetically alive, and our mind becomes drawn into direct experience of the moment, we turn inside; it's a new doorway, a new infnite world of possibilities...The doorway to insight is the present moment. So the question is, how do I enter the present moment? For that the body is an incredible tool.

Our lovely teacher, Nancy Baker, back bends her way into our hearts!

 

There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself. The tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into a butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality.

WHAT IS VINYASA??

"Vinyasa is a way for people to experience the wholeness of a yoga practice in which there is a seamless thread that unites the actions, intentions and rhythm of a class in a state of flow. Sometimes I call my class a ritual dunk in the river where we dive in and experience the current of breath as thread through an intelligent pathway of asanas, pranayama, bandha and bhavana. Every class is different in response to the needs of the class and vinyasa gives you tools of smaller sequences to respond to each class fresh. There is a direction to the flow but like a river it is allowed to find its course.
Vinyasa isn’t so much a bunch of poses strung together as the intelligence that connects one moment, one breath, one action to the next."

ESTUARY

There is peace here, where the river widens to meet the sea. The rapids are past; the boulders and the rocky
places at last give way to a broad and sweeping current, flowing
slowly into vastness. The river
moves silently, tastes the salty tide
that marks its demise, and slips
without a backward glance into
the ocean's infinite embrace.
