I am Surrounded by Unimaginable Beauty

News from Solstice Yoga Center

When people ask me why I became a yoga teacher, I tell them it's because I was lucky enough to meet Brigitte in Zipolite almost 24 years ago. But that is only part of the story.
Somehow along my journey, I have ended up again and again on this beach.
Not only did Brigitte introduce me to meditation, but also to Restorative Alignment which I found to be an incredible tool for addressing injuries and chronic pain while calming the mind, as well as being a powerful support even when the body is not able to do asana.
Over the years I have met so many interesting and very involved yogis, and have realized that even though yoga is an individual practice whose ultimate goal is intimacy with the Self, many of us are drawn to seek the company of others who share the same passion. The feeling we get from being part of a community is an important factor of why many of us embrace yoga.
As yoga practitioners we have devoted ourselves to conscious living. We take special time each day to remember this commitment as we step onto our mats. The time we spend on our practice is usually sufficient to reset intentions and refocus our perspectives for yet another day, but sometimes for substantial shifts and growth to take place full immersion needs to happen. Retreats are the perfect opportunity to do that.  Sometimes when in class at Solstice Yoga Center I have to pinch myself as I am surrounded by unimaginable beauty in a place where time seems to vanish and I am left with just the sound of waves rolling in. I am calling on all of you to come experience this amazing place where your only distractions during class are the sun setting over the Pacific and lighting up the sky, or maybe a family of iguanas in the nearby trees.
