May Update

Hi Everyone,

As summer approaches we may find that pull to take on too much, to break from the normal routine. While this can be wonderful and exciting it can cause us to lose focus on what we may need to do for ourselves mentally and physically. The pose of the month is another fundamental standing pose that can help us stay grounded; Parsvakanasana, both utthita (extended) and pavritta (revolve).

When practicing parsvakonasana (and any other asana, really), it is important to remember the true meaning of YOGA. Yoga, when translated literally means "union", and is generally further understood as the union of self with the Divine. Yoga can also be understood as the union of mind with body, of the physical with the mental, of steadiness with ease, of give with take, of push with pull, of strength with flexibility etc........Any opposing realities have a middle ground where yoga can be found.

All of life, really, is about striking a balance between opposing forces. All of life is about creating and finding our "yoga". It is only with an honest balance that we can transform and evolve, so that we can be present in the world to love the way we are meant to. From a place of balance, we can more easily embrace our life's work, and love from an authentic grace-filled spot inside. Only from a place of balance can we let go of duality, and know that we are love, we are grace, we are divine.

We are excited to be participating in the Yoga Journal Conference in Manhattan next weekend and are looking forward to sharing our exploration and learning with all of you.
There are some changes to the schedule for May. Firstly we have CANCELLED the Tuesday class moving forward. In addition, Sunday, May 17th class in CANCELLED as we will be attending the conference that weekend and Monday nights May 11th & May 25th classes are CANCELLED.

Please feel free to go to our blog (findyourflow.blogspot.com) for more detailed information on the pose of the month as well as schedule changes.

Thank you to all of your for letting us bring yoga to you. We feel truly blessed.

Om shanti
