Sometimes we prep for standing poses from our back.

Engaging muscles in a non-weight-bearing position is an experience we don't often have but which we practice often in class.

This (yoga) āsana stuff is just a vehicle for focusing upon yourself, thereby becoming absolutely present. In your own presence, you connect with your compass, which guides you to the reason for which you exist.

Come experience, explore, expand!

Oh, delicious food, how I LOVE you so...! And even MORE when a feast for my eyes; a vibrant palette portends exquisite promise for the palate.

Fresh food is light-filled. Light is energy. If you're wondering why you're feeling not-so-energetic, check your food source - is it pulsing with a thriving life force?

Do you sit with your meal? Make arrangements to enjoy it - slow down to appreciate it, thank it for its gifts of flavor, satisfaction, nurturing?

We're lying around - AGAIN.

The last week of each month, all classes are restorative. You've brought yourself through your practice (standing, inversions, twists, and backbends), so now be still to integrate.

When you have prepared your body with active movements, engaging its divine dynamic design, you are able to easily step aside, out of the actions of doing and into the expanse of being.

Being is still. When you are still, you are able to receive. Surely you want to receive! Be still and receive the fruits of your effort.

It's never too late to try something new. And with yoga, there's always something you CAN do.

Chair Yoga Weekly 11:15 Wednesday
Good for those who are new to yoga or have knee or hip concerns because all the poses are done with a chair!

It's a terrific way to develop body awareness as you journey into wellness and health. Remind yourself of what you CAN do as you toward toward what you WANT to do!

“You are all gods, if you only knew it. Behind the wave of your consciousness is the sea of God’s presence. You must look within. Don’t concentrate on the little wave of the body with its weaknesses; look beneath. Close your eyes and you see the vast omnipresence before you, everywhere you look. You are in the center of that sphere, and as you lift your consciousness from the body and its experiences, you will find that sphere filled with the great joy and bliss that lights the stars and gives power to the winds and storms. God is the source of all our joys and of all the manifestations in nature...Awaken yourself from the gloom of ignorance. You have closed your eyes in the sleep of delusion. Awake! Open your eyes and you shall behold the glory of God — the vast vista of God’s light spreading over all things. I am telling you to be divine realists, and you will find the answer to all questions in God.” ~ “The Divine Romance” by Paramahansa Yogananda

Mercury will station direct at 11 degrees and 40 minutes of Aries today, Sunday, May 14 in North and South America (at 11:17 PM Eastern Time), and on Monday, May 15 throughout the rest of the world.

This marks a time to begin creating something new in our lives, though it may be best to wait until the New Moon on May 19 to actually set your new project in motion. When Mercury stations direct, it will be transiting at the midpoint of Saturn and Venus. This can suggest a turning point related to an interpersonal or financial matter. This may be a reality check or some other kind of reckoning, a need to answer the call of duty, or a decision to take up a pressing new responsibility.

Today is also the Mother's Day holiday, observed in America every year on the second Sunday of May. This is a time to honor mothers and all mother figures — those who are still with us and those who have gone to Heaven.

Mother’s Day is also a time to celebrate the receptive and nurturing qualities that allow us to care for one another and our world. According to a Buddhist concept, we should honor all beings on Mother’s Day because all of us have been reincarnating as mothers to one another throughout eons of lifetimes.

I always choose to honor the Divine Mother on Mother’s Day. She represents the mothering principle in all of nature, the power of love and the nourishing force that creates and sustains all of life.

If you have anything important that you want to initiate this month, we have an abhuj muhurta (muhurat) on Saturday, April 22 in North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and India. For points further east, it will occur on Sunday, April 23.

Abhuj muhurtas fall on just a few of the holiest days of the Vedic calendar, and because of deep energy movements that occur on these days, which are associated with ancient legends and astrological lore, they are considered to be fully auspicious days for beginning any new important venture. “Abhuj” refers to something eternal, so the abhuj muhurtas focus on the stability and durability of anything begun on this day. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐮𝐣 𝐦𝐮𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝.

The abhuj muhurta on April 22 (or 23) is called Akshay(a) Tritiya, when it is said that anything established will “turn to gold.” “Kshaya” means destruction and the “A” in front of it means “not." Together, this word means “not destructible.” So anything we initiate on Akshaya Tritiya promises gains and development over time. Thus, in Vedic electional astrology (known as muhurta), this day is a great time for performing important deeds, beginning new projects, making important sales or purchases, establishing significant business or personal relationships, and basically, setting something significant in motion (like good intentions).

Akshaya Tritiya is also known as Akha Teej, the “Golden Day of Eternal Success.” It is a rare and special Vedic holy day that celebrates when Veda Vyas and Lord Ganesha began to write the Mahabharata, a famous historical epic. The Lights of our solar system, the Sun and Moon, also known as the King and Queen of the Planetary Kingdom, are both especially "bright" (exalted or uccha) on this day. At the same time, the waxing Moon transits in its prosperous third day (tritiya tithi). This event always occurs during the beneficent month of Vaisakha (April 20 to May 20), but the exact date changes every year.

Backyard bounty strikes again: fresh eggs as a super source of sustaining protein.

Food sourcing has gotten convenient as an advent of progress; in fact food on-hand might be a measure of this "progress."

What do you consider progress? And to what are you progressing? For what are you progressing? How is progress happening?
