Greetings!

It's been quite a year... so many big events have shaped 2008.  And as the year comes to a close, it is a great time to reflect upon it as well as celebrate it!  While each year brings its own "ups and downs", in the end there is much for which to be grateful and much to enjoy.

I look forward to 2009 and all of it's hope and yes, even it's uncertainty.  As I think of the year to come, I am reminded of a famous quote (one of my favorites) by Mohandas K. Ghandi... "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Hmmmm.... perhaps it's a good quote to keep in the back of our minds as we begin to think of our new year resolutions.

I hope to see you in 2009 - my Jan calendar is full of yoga opportunities (see below.)  Until then, I wish you a holiday season full of LOVE, LIGHT and LAUGHTER!

Be Well and ENJOY!

NEW Weekly Vinyasa Yoga at ANI!
Monday Evenings
6:30 - 7:45pm

Starting Jan 2009, I will be offering weekly Vinyasa yoga classes at the Alburtis Neuromuscular Institute.  "What is Vinyasa?", you may ask.

Vinyasa yoga is sometimes also called "Flow Yoga" and  the word itself can be translated as "breath-synchronized movement."  In this dynamic class, you will learn how to harness the energy of your breath as you flow through a sequence of yoga poses. 

Rather than using the breath to deepen a pose as is done in Hatha Yoga, with Vinyasa the emphasis is more on awareness of movement and synchronization of breath with the movement.  Some yoga experience is suggested.  Vinyasa is a powerful way to improve coordination, increase range of motion, and boost energy levels.
  • NEW Weekly Vinyasa Yoga -- Monday evenings beginning 01/12 from 6:30-7:45pm.

And don't forget our ongoing Hatha Yoga class:
  • Ongoing Hatha Yoga -- Wednesday evenings resuming on 01/07 from 5:30-6:45pm.
