"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life." 

                                              J. Krishnamurti

As the second half of the year 2013 is upon us, you may find it helpful to look back to where you came from in order to fully move forward into the future. Maybe you had set some personal goals for yourself on the eve of the year. Now looking back ask yourself, have I realized these intentions?  Do these intentions still occupy my daily thoughts?  

Honoring our past experiences in life is often helpful in guiding us towards our future potential.  In this way hatha yoga practice is so very similar to life. As we move into any one  posture it is important to maintain a sense of connection to the  foundation of the asana, while experiencing outward expansion. Learning to nurture and tend to the roots and the blossoms simultaneously is essential to creating a balanced and healthy practice. In essence honoring the entire asana process without attaching to the perfect pose. The deeper one goes into the full expression of a pose it becomes exponentially important to maintain a connection to the set up and foundational aspects of the pose.

It is important as you practice, to move slowly and stay connected to your breath. Allow your breath to be your barometer, guiding you as to how to maintain a sense of stability and ease. Approaching your practice with this humility and intention will in time create a greater balance in your life.

Here at Mountain Yoga Sandy we feel blessed to be upon our 10th year of teaching all of you wonderful yogis.  Jackie and I are thankful for all the amazing challenges that have come with managing a yoga studio for 10 years, as they have helped us evolve into what we are today. As we move forward into expansion of our studio we are humbled by our beginning roots. We are excited to add an additional studio room and expand our lobby over the next few months. We will continue to expand our class schedule with pre-natal and kids programs. Also keep an eye out for more workshops, yoga posture clinics, and much more. 

We will continue to be committed to providing you the best of the Ghosh yoga lineage (our roots) while we expand into out true potential.
