Hello fellow yoga enthusiasts! Hope you all had a happy Easter! Starting next week, Monday, April 4th at 7am, we’ll begin a journey through the Chakras. There are seven main Chakras in your body – beginning with the Root Chakra – our focus for next week. If you are not familiar with the Chakras they are energy centers of the body that align with various energy patterns in our systems. The Root Chakra is our grounding center, where we align with our feelings of self-worth, our right to be here, our right to have what we need to survive – secure in the the generosity of nature. We’ll use specific yoga poses, mantra, visualization and breathing to enhance our sense of connection to the natural world. See you then!

Wow! Just when we thought winter was over, a foot of lovely, wet snow arrives! Hopefully you all made it safely through the storm and are getting back to normal today. We now have power – how you take that for granted! The heats back on although I have really enjoyed the wood heat which we use all too infrequently. So now that the roads are clear and everyone is back to work – do you have thoughts on your experience yesterday? I find it a good reminder that we are not in charge and simply need to patiently wait for the sun to come back out and trust that life will go on! Yoga Adobe is open for business today, March 24th with three class offerings – 3pm Gentle Yoga, 5:30pm Beginner’s Yoga and 7pm Restorative Yoga – see you then. In the meantime, notice your breath and bring it deep within.
We all have our special routines or ideas that shift with the seasons. One of my rites of spring is starting seeds indoors for my veggie garden and flower pots. What are your rites of spring? How do those rites shift your energy and perspective with each passing season?
Join us at Yoga Adobe on Monday, March 14th at 7pm for a lovely Spring Equinox Meditation where we will be discussing connecting with the Natural World in honor of the Spring Equinox.
Our group is led by Melissa Robinson, an experienced meditation instructor in the Shambhala Mountain Tradition.
“Meditation is not tied to a particular religion or tradition. These days many people are exploring meditation. I like to call what we are doing calm abiding meditation. Based on acknowledging and appreciating who we are as humans, meditation is a method to help us get in touch with ourselves in a non- judgmental way – with no agenda.” (Excerpted from Melissa’s first talk.)
There will be some movement interspersed with the seated meditation practices and we will have a group discussion to share our experiences as individuals may wish. We typically share some tea and simple, light snacks after our practice – you may bring something to share if you wish. There is no fee unless you wish to make a donation towards tea – there is no obligation to come again, but you may find this such a beneficial, nurturing practice that you will be drawn to join us again!
