8 LIMBS NOVEMBER 2010 NEWSLETTER
| | As our weather transitions from summer to fall (and back and forth a few times!), it is easy to keep the awareness that life is full of change. Seasons change, leaves change, political offices change, (you all voted, right?) and
yoga schedules change. And our moods CAN change, but ideally they are
not ruled by the changes outside of our control.
Last month I attended a yoga and meditation retreat with Jenny Hayo which offered me great tools in working with changes. Our focus in practice and discussion was our relationship to the conditions, or circumstance of our lives. Our exploration helped us to see that it is how we relate to the conditions,
not the conditions themselves, are what causes suffering. Things happen,
they always will. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. How we meet challenge, change, or even great news is a where the rubber meets the road, where our practice is tested. If we can meet adverse circumstances with the same presence and strength with which we meet great news, that is "advanced practice."
So, with that, I share with you some news of change at 8 Limbs Capitol Hill. Maygen McGrew, who has taught at 8 Limbs for over five years, will be moving on from her schedule to pursue other things. We wish Maygen all the best and thank her for sharing her sweetness & knowledge at 8 Limbs. Her last class will be Sunday November 22. Paul Millage will be making a move to Bellingham
to taste the small town life while keeping one foot in Seattle. His Friday and Sunday classes will be taken by other teachers, but he will be in town for Thursday nights at 5:45pm. We'll be posting the new teachers very soon.
Happy Fall!
