Yoga is Stillness
July 2018

Yoga Sutra 1.2
“Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the Mind Stuff”
Consciousness has been defined as the Soul.
The Soul is your divine essence that is the seer. The earthly self is the seen that the seer sees.
When we become awake to the state of Consciousness we meld the seer and the seen. The Soul and earthly entity become one.
Through the practice of being still, like that found in meditation, we find the inner peace we have been searching for.
Without this sense of stillness we become distracted by Mind Stuff and identify our worth with things that aren’t part of our pure essential nature.
You loose the job but not your sense of worth because your worth was never in any outside element, it can only be found within.
As change is constant, stillness teaches us to know and identify with that part of ourselves that is pure and unchanging. We embrace the divinity that is within each of us.
When this happens we release the attachments to old identities that no longer serve us.
We are then able to move into the state of Enlightenment, where at last we find peace!

Empowered Vision Board Workshop

What’s on your bucket list for 2018? A dream vacation, new job, releasing weight, new relationship, or something you believe you could never do.

Creating a vision board is a method of goal setting that can be transformational. It is a visual expression of what you would like to see in your life and provides an opportunity to spend focused time and energy reflecting on specific items, elements, and situations you want to attract into your life. “A picture is worth a thousand words” certainly holds true with a vision board.

In addition to crafting a vision board, you will also learn and utilize Law of Attraction principles and meridian tapping to stimulate believability and manifestation of your desires.

This is NOT your typical vision board workshop!!

What you will learn:

What an ‘empowered’ vision board is.
How to use this tool to develop a powerful vision.
Have some time to create your vision board.
Releasing doubts and fears of manifestation.
Enhancing believability using Law of Attraction exercises and Meridian Tapping.
Having FUN creating your vision!

All this for only $25!

This workshop is on Saturday, July 14, 2018, 2:00 – 5:00pm

Light refreshments will be served.
All supplies will be provided. If you have old magazines to share, bring them!
Bring a photo of yourself to use on your vision board (optional).
Bring a friend! This is a fun workshop to do with someone you care about.

Bullet Proof Knees: The Importance of Prehab Exercises

Are you feeling achy in the knees, rehabilitating from knee surgery or preparing for knee replacement?
If you answered yes or simply want to avoid these potential scenarios, the following stretches and exercises should be integrated into your training regimen if you want healthy knees that last.
The primary reasons for knee pain are overuse, osteoarthritis, carrying extra weight or an acute injury.
When recovering after medical intervention we call this rehab but if you want to reduce your risk for pain or injury we call it prehab.
The exercises are essentially the same it’s just a matter of where on the timeline you are doing them. This list is by no means comprehensive but it’s a starting point for upgrading the stability of your knees and strengthening the surrounding muscles. In addition to these exercises the value of walking or movement of any kind cannot be overstated.
Sometimes it’s the lack of activity that causes deterioration in the body.
We were made to move and movement is medication.
As always, use common sense by checking with your Dr.
iI you have pre-existing injuries or unusual pain.
Listen to your body and try to differentiate between muscular fatigue and joint grinding or nerve irritation pain.

July Pose of the Month

Parsvottanasana/Intense Side Stretch

From standing or mountain pose step the right foot forward, keeping the back left foot and knee in line with the hip, (having the knee facing in a different position from the hip can be injurious to the knees and or hips). Inhale bring both arms of overhead. Bend the front knee, exhaling release your hands down to the mat. To move deeper into the pose, as you exhale straighten the front knee. Deeper turn your hands backwards, then begin walking your hands back towards the back foot. Holding the back ankle would be a last deeper option in this variation. Remember to keepig the back knee straight but not locked. Repeat on opposite side.
