The Joy of Meditation
After a week of yoga and meditation at the Chopra Centre's Seduction of Spirit (www.chopra.com) I feel the expansion of self that occurs with our inward dive. Stepping out of the prevailing conversation of our lives in order to explore our inner world inevitably, with patience, brings us into
a blissful love affair with ourselves and everyone in our lives. Surrendering to the sweet longing to know what is in our hearts, we realize that what we were seeking was also seeking us.
Thank you to all my teachers on this Path!
WOW!
Namaste, Marita

| Greetings!
During the holiday season, yoga is especially powerful as a centre of relaxation and contentment . It is a tool to stop the busyness and flurry of activity in order to re-connect to our higher selves. In this re-connection we remember our unitive consciousness and invite in the true reason for the season - celebrating each other on this fantastic journey together!! Yoga also reminds us of the sweet, soft-bellied choice of contentment, a choice rooted in the practice of acceptance and appreciation. Let us sing with gratitude, dance with joy and share whole-heartedly with pure love. Happy Holidays!!
Namaste, Marita and Doris

OM FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Invite Less Stress, More Connection into the Season
***Offer blessings or prayers for another's welfare to celebrate the spirit of Christmas . For a few minutes everyday, sit in a quiet space and bring to mind the people in your life. Mentally touch each one with your awareness and an open heart, asking that they be blessed. If there is something you know that they need, ask that they receive it. Or simply ask for their well-being, happiness and freedom.
****Practice yoga. Making a commitment to grounding your energy, taking care of your body, breathing fully, building awareness and cultivating equanimity is time well spent. Yoga reminds us that our true nature is peace and joy. Treat yourself to our Om for the Holidays Package - one Stone Therapy massage and 4 yoga classes for $99.
****Be of service. Consider volunteering in your community. Practice random acts of kindness. Give time to a friend who needs your company. Help someone move. Ask nothing in return.
**** Cultivate the intention of recognizing our unitive consciousness this season. Offer empathy, kindness and unconditional acceptance to all.
Let us celebrate each other with joy and love!

| OM FOR THE HOLIDAYS SPECIAL
HOT STONE MASSAGE AND 4 YOGA CLASSES FOR $99 |
| ONLY ONE RULE
The sky is a suspended blue ocean.
The stars are the fish that swim.
The planets are the white whales I sometimes hitch a ride on,
The sun and all light have forever fused themselves into my heart and upon my skin.
There is only one rule on this Wild Playground,
Every sign Hafiz has ever seen reads the same.
They all say,
"Have fun, my dear; my dear, have fun,
In the Beloved's divine Game,
O, in the Beloved's Wonderful Game."
-Hafiz
