Greetings!
As we ease through the summer season we are excited to expand our offerings of complimentary yoga practices such Ayurveda--the sister science of Yoga, Community Acupuncture and Yoga Nidra. These sacred disciplines offer a deeper insight into what takes place beyond our "mats" and how we can integrate these systems into our daily routines for better health and spiritual growth. A prime commitment of ours is to make Sellwood Yoga a community space where we offer a broad range of classes, trainings and workshops for you to find the knowledge that strengthens and deepens your practice.
Whether that's a blend of restorative yoga, Ayurveda and Acupuncture or it's committing to taking more classes, challenging yourselves and trying something new. You have choices. As they say in Yoga. "You are your own teacher." Follow your intuition and do what's best for you now and for the future. We are here to show you the paths and travel with you.
In other exciting news coming up. We are hosting a trunk show during Sellwood's "Passport" Day. Gibran from Sip to Live Tea will be back along with a great collection of local artists showcasing their work. Matthew Cohen, a teacher I have studied from and admire is coming from Southern California to teach a Master Sacred Energy Arts class and third time is the charm for Rosey and Family Yoga at the Moreland Farmers Market in August-- unless we get rained out again of course.
On a final note, I've been enjoying participating in the early morning classes. Starting
the day with a Yoga practice has set a nice balance of focus, relaxation
and energy into the rest of my day. The community of students dedicated
to coming each week has been inspiring. I hope more of you give it a
try as it really does offer a unique opportunity to connect with the
natural awakenings of each day.
Yoga Nidra starts off a very relaxing weekend on Friday night. We hope to see you in one of the classes. Until then.
Enjoy the sunshine.
Bill

Relax Deeply, Sleep Easily with Yoga Nidra
with Laura Walton
The Indian Deity Vishnu is regarded as the "Preserver" of the Universe. Here, he prepares for Yoga Nidra. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be sleeping, but the
consciousness is functioning at the deeper level of awareness. It is
sleep with a trace of deep awareness.

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation
technique that literally translates as yogic sleep. Yoga
