FYI: EASTON YOGA WILL BE CLOSED AUGUST 26, 27 & 28TH for some repairs and renovations to our reception area.  A new floor and some sprucing up are in order.  Many thanks in advance for your patience.

I am getting the Fall programming up on the web, you can catch up with the bounty of the offerings on the Workshops page of the website! Learn Ashtanga (Modified), Gentle Beginners Series, Nutrition workshops, new Dance programs, hooping and more...

One last note: Our Jade Yoga Mats will be increasing in cost due to increased cost to manufacturer, we have the old price of $55 available in August if you are considering purchasing a new mat please email me with your color choice and payment by August 10th, that is when I'm placing our last order to lock in current pricing, thank you. [color choices: purple, olive, chocolate, slate, Tibetan orange, sedona red, midnight blue, black and orchid.]
These mats really are the best non-slip & eco-friendly mats that I have found. New price for mats will be $60 as of September 1st.

Focus of the Month:
Meditation
Yes, you can build a meditation practice! _____________________________________________________

poppies For this month's focus I decided on a contemplative meditation practice.  Many of us are running around trying to finish up the summer activities with family, or trying to keep up with our gardens or houses, and we need to remember to balance the time with a quiet soulful practice of being still.

The Easton yoga teachers will be incorporating more mediation time into the classes this month.  And if you want to bring the experience home we have a great meditation CD by Max Strom for sale in the yoga shop.  And for a short written mediation you can go to Max's website to sample a mediation.

"Sometimes when we first attempt meditating, we can feel
like a young child sitting in a lonely room with our eyes
closed. It can feel boring, stifling, and ultimately pointless.
And then we read in meditation books to, "Quiet the mind!
Quiet the mind!" Well, that sounds good - but HOW do you
do it?..." [Max Strom's full article here]

poppies Just when I think I've learned so much in my 7 years of yoga, I am humbled & blessed to realize I'm still just beginning my journey.  After spening one week in May with Max Strom at a Teacher Training, I began to realize that yoga will and can change your life. Max's insight into the true practice of yoga as a connection into the whole body and not a contortion of the physical body is profound. 

I am pleased to announce that we will begin to host Max for a series of Teacher Trainings in 2009.  Completion of all 4 segments is accredited with The Yoga Alliance 200RYT certification.

Max's Teacher Trainings are open to students with a regular yoga practice who want to deepen their understating of the holistic practice of Hatha Vinyasa Flow and pranayama.  Whether you wish to deepen you practice or continue through all 4 segments his training is of immense value. If you are already a teacher and wish to gain further insight into Max's yoga philosophy I guarantee you'll deepen your understanding of the practice! And since it is so close to home, no travel fees!

Max will be here in March 2009 for a series of workshops, details here.

 August Mantra, Mudra & Meditation Class _____________________________________________________

poppies August's Focus:Moksha; Spiritual Liberation

Real, lasting joy and contentment can only be obtained when the veil of illusion lifts from our eyes and we can see rightly. When our perception shifts and reality is revealed we attain an inner understanding of life's gift's and their true value. What is important is uncovered. What distracts us, wasting our time and energy, is exposed.
 
Join us in reciting chants to burn away the fog of illusion and enlighten our minds with correct perception. No experience needed.
 
And as always the mantras will be continued through out the month of August in Kathleen's Wednesday evening Meditative Yoga Flow classes.

  • Cost: Use your class card or Drop-in for $15.
  • Day: Monday, August 4th
  • Time: 7-8pm
