November News

Hello!! This is my first newsletter in years! I'm hoping you'll find something here worth your time and attention...

Inspiration

As we move towards the end of 2020 I can’t think of a more definitive theme than Breath.

 

Phrases like “it took my breath away” have taken on new meaning in our world. I began the year uncertain, filled with a quest for meaning, and found myself returning to the study of breath methods through the work of breath pioneers Stan Grof and Rick Tarnas. Coincidence? I think not!

 

We heard the rallying cry “I can’t breathe.” As sacred mantra to soothe my own soul in the wake of so much uncertainty, I repeated the words of Richard Tarnas, “The soul of the world is breathing.”

 

The ancient world understood spirit, soul or psyche elementally as AIR. The Winter Solstice will welcome us with a new 200-year cycle from the element of EARTH to AIR. Once again, coincidence? I think not! Ancient and modern technologies of breathwork are returning to our consciousness. I will be offering a Winter Solstice practice on Thursday December 17.

 

Meanwhile, take a moment to appreciate this simple 2-part breath. Inhale slowly, pause the breath for a count of 5, and rest as you exhale with your palms at the ❤️

Coming this month

I'm moving gently and safely back into teaching yoga live, for smaller groups and in safe environments. Current classes are Tuesdays at 6 pm in Ferndale, Wednesdays at 5:30 in Bingham Farms, and Fridays at 1 pm in Bingham Farms. 

 

I've also been hosting heart-warming conversations about the moon phases, combined with gong immersions, and the next one is this Thursday at 7 pm. Preregistration is required for classes and workshops, as strict attendance limits are part of the new abnormal.

 

It would be great to hear from you! My phone number is still 248 346-2014.
