Happy Mother’s Day with Bhakti (Devotional) Yoga! Offer up your practice to a force beyond your self. Some honorable ways to honor the mother in all of us:
Kirtan! I was so happy to celebrate this weekend by attending a candlelight yoga class and kirtan at Samgha Yoga Shala. We chanted to Ganesha, Ram, Sita, and Shiva, led by Mike Cohen and Stephanie Starnes, and shared a vinyasa practice in the Jivamukti style.

Yes, sign at the laundromat, it is time to make my well being life full of happiness. And puppies!
At any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love. We need only pause, breathe, and open to the experience of aliveness within us. In that wakeful openness, we come home to the peace and freedom of our own natural awareness.
Going on vacation - Much gratitude to the folks subbing for me while I’m out of town - A big thank you to Elena & Elizabeth at Fit Girl Studio and Jodi & Callie at Ganesha.
Speaking of subbing, when I get back, I’m long-term subbing during Megan’s maternity leave, so please join me for Active Yoga on Thursdays 8:15-9:30 am at Ganesha. Starts February 28. Hope to see you then!
Ganesha Thursdays at 7:45 Hoop Fit with Cindy
I love hooping! It is so fun. Last night we warmed up and then learned the basics. Waist hooping (you rock your hips from front to back), halo (hooping over your head - super arm workout), and weaving (crossing the hoop in front and back of the body). I dropped the hoop a bunch of times, but so did every one else. Cindy reminded us to thank ourselves each time we dropped it. She has hoops for you to rent so you just show up and give it a try! SO MUCH FUN. Also you burn a ton of calories and get in touch with your belly muscles, so there’s that too.
May all be filled with loving kindness.
May all be safe from inner and outer dangers.
May all be well in mind and body.
May all be at ease and happy.
