Restorative yoga, focusing on stilling meditative practices.

Poem for the week is by the Irish Poet and Philosopher John O’Donohue.

For Longing

Blessed be the longing that brought you here
and quickens your soul with wonder.

May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire
that disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.

May you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease
to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.

May the forms of your belonging – in love, creativity, and friendship
be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.

May the one you long for long for you.
may your dreams gradually reveal the destination of your desire.

May a secret providence guide your thought and nurture your feeling.

May your mind inhabit your life with the sureness
with which your body inhabits the world.

May your heart never be haunted by ghost-structures of old damage.

May you come to accept your longing as divine urgency.
may you know the urgency with which the divine longs for you.

Poem for the week is by the great Irish poet Seamus Heaney

Postscript

And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, and inland among stones
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white,
Their fully grown headstrong-looking heads
Tucked or cresting or busy underwater.
Useless to think you’ll park and capture it
More thoroughly. You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.

Poem for the week is by by Denise Levertov
'Overland to the Islands'

Let's go—much as that dog goes,
intently haphazard. The
Mexican light on a day that
'smells like autumn in Connecticut'
makes iris ripples on his
black gleaming fur—and that too
is as one would desire—a radiance
consorting with the dance.
Under his feet
rocks and mud, his imagination, sniffing,
engaged in its perceptions—dancing
edgeways, there's nothing
the dog disdains on his way,
nevertheless he
keeps moving, changing
pace and approach but
not direction—'every step an arrival.'

Poem for the week 'To Hear The Deeper Life' by Elaine Dunstan

To hear the deeper life
within you, you must learn
to slow things down.
To follow the exhale
completely, and place
an ear to the ground
of your being.

It makes no sense
to keep busying your days,
dragging your weary feet
along the path laid
by their good intentions.

Learn to live again
from your own interior;
the deeper mystery
awaits you there.
The skies are widening.
The stars are calling you home
by your first name.

Poem for the week Mary Oliver 'The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac'

Part 3.

I know, you never intended to be in this world.
But you’re in it all the same.

so why not get started immediately.
I mean, belonging to it.

There is so much to admire, to weep over.
And to write music or poems about.

Bless the feet that take you to and fro.
Bless the eyes and the listening ears.
Bless the tongue, the marvel of taste.
Bless touching.

You could live a hundred years, it’s happened.
Or not.

I am speaking from the fortunate platform
of many years,
none of which, I think, I ever wasted.
Do you need a prod?
Do you need a little darkness to get you going?
Let me be urgent as a knife, then,
and remind you of Keats,
so single of purpose and thinking, for a while,
he had a lifetime.

Our Story

Manjunaga has been exploring the insights and practices of yoga, meditation and Buddhism for over 25 years. He draws from his in-depth training and exploration of the practices of yoga and Buddhism to create an embodied practice that addresses the body, heart and mind.

His style of yoga teaching combines dynamic, flowing movement with stilling, calming postures to experience yoga as a deepening awareness of breath, cultivating peace of mind. Manjunaga feels that yoga is an awareness practice, offering us an opportunity to become more fully embodied in our experience; this allows for a greater sensitivity to our emotional and physical well-being, allowing us to open to a natural state of open, relaxed awareness and live a more happy, balanced and meaningful life.
