It's fall, can you feel it? A beautiful season to explore both our outer world and our inner world. When we align ourselves with nature, with the rhythms of the natural world, a sense of ease exists in our lives, and the ease brings us closer to our "true nature." It's the perfect time to practice "Aparigraha" non- grasping or non-attachment. It's our human nature to grasp, but our true nature is free from grasping. This can mean something as simple as de-cluttering, to letting go of many of the judgments we have, or preconceived ideas, or even past hurt. Forgiveness is a powerful tool, and a beautiful practice or Aparigraha. Ask yourself this season, "What can I shed?"
We've got so much to offer at the studio this month. We've added some new classes, including a weekly asana and crystal bowl class with Jeremiah to close out our Sunday evenings over at the Shanthi Way studio. And the 1st Sunday of every month will be the ongoing practice of Yoga Nidra. We are also adding a one hour Introductory Yoga class with Sejal on Tuesdays from 4:40-5:30pm, and Teen Yoga Club the Frist Friday of every month.
If you've been to the studio recently, then you've noticed our café area has expanded. This month we're starting a series of events in the café at Kindly Kitchen, with offerings like Live Jazz on 1st Friday, Dinner and a Movie, a Fire Cider workshop, and an Ayurveda workshop. See details below.
Our Friday Happy Hour offerings continue, as well as our Sunday morning Bhakti Asana classes. And there's so much more. That's just a glimpse of what's happening. At the end of the month we celebrate Diwali at Neighborhood Yoga, honoring the light inside of each of us. So mark the date on your calendar, Oct 29th and come out to share in this community event.
We hope to see you in the Neighborhood.
In Peace,
Valerie
