It is remarkable, especially in San Diego, how much time we spend on fitness for the physical body.  I wonder what this world would be like if we all spent at least as much time on our subtle body including our meditation and pranayama practice? How would that change the fabric of our society and our own inner experience of everything and everyone around us?

     While traveling, it has been challenging to keep up with the practice I had established at home and I definitely feel the difference in terms of less balance, more anxiety & stress.  Next month, in my mentorship program, our focus will be pranayama, meditation and restoratives.  Thank goodness!  I hope to focus on this along with my students...would you like to join us?

     Make September a month where you dedicate time, discipline and energy to cultivating more inner peace - and really work out that subtle body.  Email me if you need some guidance on how to do this.

      There is one more thing that I would like to share with you this month.  I have been approached by a lovely Yogini, Esther Elfasi, in Israel who is struggling to keep her Yoga studio alive so that it can be a haven for women to be nourished and to learn how to teach others about the benefits of Yoga. I will be teaching at this studio and hopefully will be leading retreats there as well.

Our goal is to work together, to provide a space where we can heal the world, one individual at a time. But Esther's space is in dire need of repair and she cannot do this on her own.  She is reaching out for help.   

    Part of the path of Yoga is Karma Yoga - the Yoga of Giving & Selfless Service. This is an opportunity for you to help and be a part of the solution in a beautiful & conflicted country, Israel, which has become my new home.

   Funds are needed ASAP in the form of a loan or offering.  Please email me at [email protected] if you can help in any way.
