 Greetings!!
Yoga contains so many beautiful opportunities to experience the Sweetness of Life. It allows us to relax, finding stillness and rest in our busy lives. Yoga teaches us to use our bodies as a vehicle for love, light and joy while cultivating the capacity to bear witness to our emotions and experiences, in all their flavours. Coming to the yoga mat creates in our day the conscious intention to stay open, to be patient, to be grounded and lead with our hearts, living in love. Yoga is about being whole, experiencing union with all that is. Very sweet indeed! :-)
Take a deep delicious breath and realize the beauty that "This is it!"

The Five Tibetan Rites: Part 1
the First Tibetan Rite on Mount Kilimanjaro, photo by Doris Reich
What are the Five Tibetan Rites?
They are a series of yoga poses developed over the centuries in the monastaries of Tibet and are credited by thousands for everything from increased energy to better memory, weight loss and just looking and feeling younger.
At SOL Yoga we have had many magical experiences with the Five Tibetan Rites and highly recommend them as an at-home daily practise. In 15 minutes you will feel radiant and fully alive!
This first rite is done by spinning in a clockwise direction to stimulate the flow of prana in the body. This method is used by the "whirling dervishes" of the Sufi tradition to induce a heightened state of consciousness and bliss. Plus it reminds us to be child-like and have fun!
Stand in Mountain Pose, find a focal point with the eyes and spin around. Stop if you get dizzy and ground yourself, feeling your feet touch the earth. Start slowly and with a few repetitions. With practise, move towards doing 22 repetitions. Breathe and SMILE!

What is Family Constellation Therapy?
It is a process created by Bert Hellinger in Germany and is the fastest growing method in Europe that offers healing for the heart and family soul. We are thrilled to be hosting Markus Peter at Sol Yoga Centre for the month of May. He is a holisitic health counselor (Heilpraktiker) from Hamburg, Germany who has trained and practised in this modality extensively.
Children seldom or never dare to live a happier or more fulfilling life than their parents. Unconsciously they remain loyal to unspoken family traditions that work invisibly. Family Constellations are a way of discovering underlying family bonds and forces that have been carried unconsciously over several generations." -Bertold Ulsamer
ARE YOU STUCK? Is it possible for anyone to enjoy a fulfilling life while carrying emotional baggage of past generations? Negative beliefs and patterns are passed form generation to generation without intention. These habits and patternss create your realities. Reclaim the power to create the life you want! The healing, loving power of this work will ripple through your whole family.
Join us for a free information evening on Monday, April 30 from 7pm to 8pm at Sol Yoga Centre to meet Markus and learn more about how Family Constellation Therapy can change your life.

NEW at SOL Yoga Centre!!
Manipura Belts by Sonja Picard are named after the third chakra, the energy center located in the navel, which is said to control our sense of accomplishment, self esteem and is our seat of power. Manipura means place of gems. Each of the six divine images represents a quality or strength of the deity that the wearer wishes to invoke.
Buckles measure 4.5"x 3.25" and are antique nickel plate with clear resin over striking and colourful traditional images. Each image is surrounded by glittering rhinestones and the edge of the metal buckles are stamped with 'om' symbols.
The belt strap is high-quality faux suede and is stamped on the inside with "This belt has been created with 'ahimsa' non-injury to animals"
