Living Sublimely Well

Took a trip down memory lane today… drove past the place where I took yoga classes 13 years ago.

Tom and Debbie Trafton are great people.

I remember when Tom said I should become a yoga teacher and I laughed at him. You never know where life will take you.

If you’re close to the Cheni Center in Fallston, I highly recommend their classes!

This is excellent!!! We’re going to be adding this to our program!!

🌿 Body Appreciation Check 🌿

Yoga teaches us to listen instead of judge, to thank the body instead of fighting it. Every pose is an invitation to appreciate what your body can do — not what it looks like. Your body is not the enemy; it’s your lifelong partner in healing. 🧘‍♀️💛

👉 Right now, what’s one part of your body you’re grateful for — and why?

Got another gift from a yoga student. How fun is this one!?!!

Not only do I love yoga, but I really, really love cows.

Such a creative gift!!

So very true…

There is a profound shift that happens when you stop forcing , chasing, or overanalyzing every part of your life.

Healing doesnt always come from effort . Sometimes it comes from surrender - allowing life to flow the way it's meant to , instead of trying to control every detail

Wow. My yoga students sure do know the way to my heart.

So, I got home later than usual last evening because of our potluck celebration after class. I didn’t even go through my yoga bag…

Until this morning!

One of my students gave me a very sweet gift. And, how useful it is!!

The bread I bake… one of the ingredients is honey! I’m always using honey around here!!

So grateful for my yoga students. Thank you for this thoughtful gift ❤️

One of our yoga students suggested we have a (surprise) retirement party for another student (💗).

I thought it was a great idea, and we added an end of year celebration sharing a potluck after class.

I brought a loaf of bread and tomato jam. (Hopefully, they liked it 🍅)

Driving home, I felt a warm and full heart. I am filled with gratitude.

Thankful for every student who’s crossed my path in the past four years. Grateful for the spaces for holding classes. Grateful for learning new things every program. Grateful for the stretching and breathing. Grateful for holistic health. Just so, so thankful.

Thank you for another great session!! And, SUPER thank you for braving the COLD nights these past six weeks. It certainly has been colder than usual!

Namaste,
Elizabeth

Ooh! A great visual of Triangle pose.

✨ Do it the right way to get the real benefits!
When practiced with proper alignment, Extended Triangle Pose builds strength, stability, and spaciousness in the body.

Benefits:
• Strengthens legs, hips, and core
• Stretches hamstrings, groins, and side body
• Improves spinal alignment and posture
• Opens chest and shoulders for better breathing
• Enhances balance and body awareness

👉 Focus on lengthening the spine, engaging the lifted arm, hinging from the hip, and grounding through the front foot—rather than collapsing or compressing the body.

Nothing like eating strawberries you picked yourself! 😋

Have a happy Saturday everyone!!
