SOL SCROLLS

yoga celebrating the sweetness of life

 
What was said to the rose
that made it open was said
to me here in my chest.
What was told the cypress that made it strong
and straight, what was
whispered the jasmine so it is what it is, whatever made
sugarcane sweet, whatever
was said to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil in
Turkestan that makes them
so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush
like a human face, that is
being said to me now.
 I blush. Whatever put eloquence in
language, that's happening here.
The great warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,
chewing a piece of sugarcane,
in love with the one to whom every that belongs!
-Rumi


 

What's in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet.

We have changed the names of the classes in Crescent Beach to describe the experience in a simpler, more elegant way.  Nothing will change in the content. 
Your feedback is always welcome and your support is appreciated more than we can ever express. 
Thank you!!! 

 
Dear Beloved Tribe! 

We are bursting with gratitude and love for five years of Sol Yoga.  It has been an amazing collective Hero's Journey of devotion, exploration, fellowship, evolution, purification, expansion and unity. We celebrate every downdog, every sweet breath, every box of kleenex, every smile you share with us.

Thank you for coming with us down the rabbit hole into a mystical yoga world rich with a mermaid who learns to surf through the waves of life on land (happily with her brawny sailor husband-to-be!); dragons that protect us; a welsh terrier who teaches us unconditional love and that holes in socks are endearing; a mother who loves us all;  many adventures in countless realms; and innumerable winks, nudges and embraces from the Divine. 

The compelling reasons for our yoga pulse brightly inside us:
Let prayer flow like a river continually from your heart.
Love like crazy.
Adore each other.
Care for your precious body.
Stay open and trust.
Meditate.
Dedicate yourself to service.
Enjoy.

Namaste,
Marita & Doris

NEW CLASS IN CRESCENT BEACH!! RESTORATIVE YOGA

SATURDAYS

10:30 to 11:45am 

 

Many of us are exhausted, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.

During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefited, and a few of the measurable results of deep relaxation are the reduction of blood pressure, serum triglycerides and blood sugar levels in the blood, the increase of the "good cholesterol" levels, as well as improvement in digestion, fertility, elimination, the reduction of muscle tension, insomnia and generalized fatigue.

LOVE 

What would your life be like if every decision, every word you think 
and speak to yourself and others, and every deed first went through a  filter of love?

Imagine letting go of conditioned patterns of defensiveness, fear, 
anger -- freeing yourself to choose new responses that allow more love 
and joy to flow through all your experiences.

The Sufi poet, Hafiz, writes:  "When all your desires are distilled 
you will cast just two votes:  to love more, and be happy."

When your first response is love -- for others and for yourself -- the 
world becomes a sweeter, more forgiving, joyous place.

Begin now by looking at yourself with compassion -- see that even if 
there is pain or sadness, your soul is looking back at you with the 
light and innocence of a child.

Hold your hand over your heart and quietly say:  'I love you. I accept 
you.  I deserve to be happy.'  Connect with your essential, loving 
nature.

Regardless of whatever is going on in your life right now, or whatever 
you may regret, you are an amazing, beautiful being....divine in 
design and universal in spirit.

The next time your viewpoint is challenged -- express love; give a 
hug, offer compassion.  Most importantly, the next time you are about 
to blame yourself or feel 'less than', remember you are worth all the 
love in the world.

You are LOVE.
