Some years ago I posed the question:

What is your favorite yoga pose & why?

And we got a huge response…

Life changes – we grow – we encounter obstacles – so I figured it was about time that I asked again.

Please do tell us, what is your favorite yoga pose and why?

At the same time I do not wish to discount meditation as that is the veritable foundation of what yoga is all about. So if you prefer meditation to hatha yoga (physical yoga), kindly tell us what you  like best about meditation.

Look forward to hearing from you…

Ok – so which is it – what would you like to see  offered for our upcoming seminars?

Sept is booked for Yoga Anatomy.
Oct is booked for Live Sitar.
Nov is open for choosing.
Dec will (most likely be) Eating Healthy.

But we can fit more seminars in, plus we need to select a seminar for November. What would you like to see happen? Here are some options:

1. Restorative Yoga

2. Yoga Philosophy Forum
(This could also include the history and culture of yoga)

3. Arm Balances: A to Z

Please tell us your thoughts, suggestions, likes and /or curiosities. Waiting to hear…

What do you think…..?

1. Are you interested in a 20 min Abs Class on Saturday mornings in between Morning Yoga (8 – 9am) and Strength & Fitness (9:30am start, but may change to 9:45am)?

2. It’s cold…are you interested in ordering / getting your own Mexican blanket to use during shavasana at  discounted pricing?

3. Anything else you’d like to share or request…(please be nice, this is a public forum!)

Aside from doing plenty of yoga…

...how else do you plan to spend the holidays this year?

Please do tell us, we are completely tuned in and listening intently…

Open any yoga magazine or even the health section of any newspaper, and you will read about the many benefits of yoga: Less stress, greater flexibility, lower blood pressure, deeper sleep, faster recovery time, and so many things.

In short, there are numerous ways how yoga helps. Even then, it can all seem quite theoretical or even beyond what we think we can achieve.

Sometimes we all need to hear stories, anecdotes, or even a word or phrase from people in our local community to inspire us to keep going. You may feel that your experience is insignificant, but by sharing it you may open a whole new avenue of hope and inspiration for someone else.

In my own life, yoga has helped blow away a dark cloud of an inferiority complex that seemed to always loom over or even envelop me. It has also granted me a greater sense of belonging, allowing a much more positive outlook in life – both individually and collectively. There is still a ways to go – but at least the journey is en route and not stalled!

I will gladly share more about the above as well as other ways yoga has helped.

Please take a moment to share how your yoga practice has helped you - in any way, no matter how small or big.

Remember…

You never know what great transformation or subtle shift in perception your words will have on someone else.

This is also a great way to personally reinforce the importance of your own practice.

In life, we all have favorites. Some like vanilla – some like chocolate; some prefer to sleep in – others like to rise early, and on and on it goes.

It only goes to figure then that when there are upwards of 50,000 yoga postures (asanas), then naturally there are some you might like more than others.

Do share two or three of your favorite yoga poses and tell why…

Look forward to hearing them.

Oh – almost forgot – then I will tell mine…and why.
