"You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather."
Pema Chodron
Summer is supposed to be here...but with the weather up and down so much, it seems as though the pendulum is swinging hard between extremes.
Likewise, in private and public settings, many of us are experiencing similarly profound highs and lows--celebrating graduates and weddings; grieving friends, family, and past understandings of how people in communities care for one another.
Let yoga and meditation help you find and maintain your center.
Take an hour or so to slow down and pay close attention to how you're moving through the world. If you're rushing from one thing to another--like rushing from one pose to another--you miss out on being present for, and noticing, how your movement--or rigidity--affects your state of being.
Yoga and meditation can't solve your worries but it can help you face them in the short and long term. You may leave looser, calmer, more grounded. Everyone benefits when practicing in community.
The next Yoga by the Lake will take place on Sunday, July 6 (weather permitting).
Registered students receive last minute updates as necessary.
Yoga classes have resumed at Litchfield Pilates & Integrative Health in Washington Depot (above the Hickory Stick Bookshop) and will soon start at the Bantam Arts Factory (the red brick old switch factory).
All you have to do is show up: I'll prepare everything in advance for you--mats, props, space.
Your first class and all meditation sessions are free of charge.
