The Winter Solstice is almost upon us!!! Join us December 21 at 5:15pm on Facebook Live and Instagram Live and practice with us as we welcome in new beginnings and fresh starts with 108 sun salutations. And let’s face it I think we could all use an little fresh energy and celebration. Plus after the 21st the days start to get longer again. That in itself is something to be excited about!!!! Why 108? Well 108 is a pretty significant number in many ways. 108 appears many t...imes in many differnt ancient sacred texts. In numerology 108 equals 9, which symbolizes universal love, eternity, and awakening. In Ayurveda there are 108 sacred points on the body. In astronomy the distance between the earth and the sun is 108 times the sun’s diameter. Malas have 108 beads which are used to count during meditation. And the idio-synchronicities go on and on. Why Sun Salutations? The internal fire that you build during this practice is cleansing, detoxifying and gets you in touch with yourself. They activate your upward energy. There is an element of surrender as you challenge yourself to complete the 108 asanas (don’t worry there are also lots of ways to modify to meet your practice wherever you are). And guess what? Practices like this offer up many teachings. You are stronger than you think. Negative energy does not define you. You have the power to shift your perspective. You can find grounding amidst any challenge. You have an inner drive. YOU control your energy. We can’t wait to practice with you. Much love from our hearts to yours.

Tonight at 7:30 I (Paula Jensen) Will be doing a recording for Yoga Nidra on zoom. Please let me know if you would like to join in. And I will send you the zoom link Definition - What does Yoga Nidra mean? Yoga nidra, a Sanskrit term meaning "yogic sleep" is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. Also called "psychic sleep," yoga nidra is a state between sleeping and waking. The body is completely relaxed and the practitioner turns the awareness inward by lis...tening to a set of instructions; much like a guided meditation. Performing yoga nidra involves practicing pratyahara ("withdrawal of the senses"), which is the fifth limb of Ashtanga yoga. Yoga nidra practice results in deep relaxation and expands the individual's self-awareness. Yoga nidra offers other amazing health benefits, as well, including: Calms the mind Relaxes and rejuvenates the body Soothes the nervous system Reduces fatigue Lowers high cholesterol and blood pressure levels Strengthens immunity Improves quality of sleep Treats depression Reduces pain Boosts concentration level Supports brain function and boosts creativity See more
