Try a Private Session … or a Few!

Posted on by

Are you feeling stuck right now or maybe a little agitated? Has your strength, flexibility or balance diminished in recent months? Is your lower back a little “tweaked” or is a hip or a shoulder complaining about some recent activity? Since you’re at home more, wouldn’t it be lovely to create an accessible and dynamic daily practice that is perfect for your personal space and your individual needs?

Yoga for Life can help!

Click Here for details on scheduling Private Sessions. You and a friend can even share the experience. Better still, our prices have been reduced through September to make personal attention even more available for Yoga for Life students. Give yourself the gift of yoga … just the way you need it!

Pandemic

What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath—
the most sacred of times?
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying and selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.

And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another’s hands.
(Surely, that has come clear.)
Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.

Promise this world your love–
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
so long as we all shall live.
