SAVE THE DATE for your Home Yoga Retreat! WHEN: Saturday January 16th, 2021 TIME: 10 a.m. - noon WHERE: Your home, our home - and together on the screen through ZOOM. COST: We are planning this home retreat as a karma offering. This means there is no fee to you, however we would like to do something to benefit our community. When we later send out the final invite to those wishing to join us, we will include a list of worthwhile charities that support women's health-ce...ntered needs and then do a poll (available on your ZOOM screen) while we are online together. Our itinerary: 1. Meditation: Explore the different meditation techniques and the shared benefits of mindfulness, concentration and insight when you develop (or establish) a daily meditation practice. 2. Ayurveda: The sister science to Yoga. How do you integrate the simple wisdom of this ancient holistic healing system into your life? And what does it have to do with your specific yoga practice? 3. Yoga Practice: A nourishing and rejuvenating gentle practice to help keep you grounded, release stress and tension in the body and mind and keep your joints and muscles happy and healthy. P.S. If you have friends or family whom you feel would enjoy and benefit from this Home Yoga Retreat, please share and know that yoga experience is not necessary - this is for everyone interested in pursuing a healthy, happy and balanced 2021!

And breathe.....

What is Yoga and why do we celebrate it? Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. The word ‘yoga’ derives from Sanskrit and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity.... Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131. The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. Namaste

When I asked my 74-year young yoga student what she wanted to practice this morning she said headstand. So inspired by her! Clearly age is just a number on your Drivers License.

As society slowly reopens, a variety of responses and subsequent decisions that individuals now need to make in order to feel comfortable in our post-COVID environment. In keeping with COVID regulations, some businesses (including gyms and yoga studios) are opening with reduced capacity. I will continue to offer online yoga practices for the foreseeable future. The practices are 1 hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 8:30-9:30AM Pacific. To reflect the online forma...t, practices are only $5.00 each. You can purchase a 10 practice punch card ($50) via e-transfer. Zoom allows you to have a "speaker view" - meaning you only see me on the screen. I've been told it is like having a one-on-one personal practice. I'm available to help provide basic technical support, and arrange for props (blocks, straps) if you would like some assistance getting set up for a home practice. Send me a message and I will give you the details on how you can join these sessions. As an alternative, I’m also offering private practices - if you have the space in your home where we can be an appropriate distance apart, I have some limited availability on Tues, Thurs mornings, evenings and weekends. Price is $50/practice for 75 minutes. Namaste
