SOL SCROLLS
Love & gratitude for our sol yoga community

"Love unaddressedly. Love the whole existence. It is one reality.  The trees and the mountains and the people are not really different. We all participate together, we exist in deep harmony.  We go on breathing in oxygen, and breathing out carbon dioxide. Trees go on breathing in carbon dioxide, breathing out oxygen. Now, without trees we will not be able to exist.  We are joined together, we interpenetrate.  And that's how the whole existence is interlinked.  So love unaddressedly - the trees, the stars, the mountains, the people, the animals. The point is not to whom you are loving, the point is that you are loving." -Osho
Greetings!
"Love is the whole point. 
 Love Imperfectly.
Keep surprise close at hand. 
Make lots of mistakes." -sark

She moved from New Zealand to North America in 2002 where she obtained formal certification as a Yoga Teacher from the Sananda Devi Yoga's teacher training course in Toronto (500 hour registered course with the Yoga Alliance).  Each year Kelly takes a pilgrimage back to India to further her training and perform seva (service) in Rikhia Ashram, India, where she has been initiated into the Satyananda and Sivananda Lineages as a Jignasu Sanyassin.Living in Vancouver, Canada she teaches clients how to unfold their inner wisdom, through yogic and ayurvedic principles, and implement these principles into everyday modern life.  A life that promotes holistic health  and harmony with the Universe.

Touch is fundamental to health and wellbeing
When stimulated through therapeutic touch or massage, the skin releases a pharmacy of healing chemicals that have health-promoting effects on the physiology. In addition to feeling good, regular massage and loving touch detoxifies the body's tissues, increase circulation, calms the mind, and enhances immune function.
A daily self-massage (self-Abhy) with aromatherapy massage oils, known in Ayurveda as an Abhyanga,is one of the most important tools in Ayurveda to activate your inner pharmacy and slow the aging process.
