The traditional teachings of yoga can help us navigate our lives in a more peaceful and less egocentric manner. It takes awareness and restraint…especially during the challenging and confusing periods of our lives.
As a reminder for students (existing & potential) at Santosha Springs Yoga in Maiden Rock, there will be no classes held in November. I will be in Peru during that time.
See you in December!

The practice of truthfulness is not necessarily to speak the literal truth at all times, and it is not merely to state things as they are. We must ensure that we not harm others by our statements. Remember, the foremost practice is non-harmfulness; truthfulness is subordinate to this practice. In a wider perspective, if stating the truth will do more damage than good, the spirit of truthfulness is better served by leaving it unsaid.

Why speak the truth? Adhering to the truth is not a moral edict in yoga. Krishnamacharya would say that by speaking the truth, we free ourselves of the burden of falsehood. We reinforce our efforts toward conquering our ego and our desires, dislikes, and fears. Occasionally, telling a falsehood is unavoidable in worldly life, especially in modern times. Still, if we follow truthfulness to the extent that we can, it will lead to peace of mind, freedom, and simplicity in relationships.

A beautiful sunset leaves an imprint on the mind and heart that lasts beyond the actual experience.
Likewise, within the practices of yoga and chant, we imprint our bodies, minds and emotions with positive and beneficial experiences which carry forward into our lives.

After several years of teaching yoga and chant in Maiden Rock, WI, I finally have a sign hung up outside the entrance to my studio at W3542 Hwy. 35. Now...you can find me!
My regularly scheduled classes are finished for 2023, but I have decided to offer a couple of special sessions for students and friends in the area (see below) Give your Self a break from holiday activities....attend one (or both) of these nurturing practices intended to cultivate your connection to the light & peace within.
Thank you to all the students that I have had the privilege of sharing yoga & chant with in 2023!
I will be posting the 2024 schedule soon.
Namaste,
Kristina
