Living in Balance with the Seasons:
Revitalize for Spring with Yoga and Ayurveda
with Mary Barton
Now April 2, 2022
11AM-1:30PM $35

Winter is beginning to wane with some warm days and thawing earth, heralding the near arrival of Spring. Out of the cold, dark and wet qualities of winter, spring brings increasing sun and energy, and the impulse to get outside to witness the first green shoots pushing through the earth.

This transition from winter to spring is often laden with sluggishness and reluctance to leave the warm cocoon of home. Spring can be a wet and cold season that requires extra attention to stay well in the face of respiratory congestion, allergies, and lethargy. Weathering this transition requires diligence and focus to lighten up our diet, increase activity, and create a positive mental outlook.

Come join Mary to learn the roots of Ayurveda, yoga's sister system of self-healing, and ways to smoothly transition from Winter to Spring. This workshop includes a yoga practice suitable for all, self-care tips, and recipes for yummy dishes to nourish our bodies for Spring.

Remembering Clint
"How are you today, Clint?"
"Well, I could be better and I could be worse."

So began every class and private session with Clint over the past 10 years. Each time I heard that refrain, I promised him that he would feel better by the end of our yoga class - and he usually did!

Clint came to the yoga studio after retirement to improve his golf game. He was an avid player and wanted to increase his strength and balance on the green. He became a regular in our Senior chair class for many years to keep his game strong.
In later years he came for weekly private sessions with me that evolved from standard chair yoga to include playing all types of ball games (after all, he was a star athlete in four sports in high school), working on our two-step to improve his gait, and listening to country music during class. We both preferred old-time country singers: Clint - Merle Haggard and the Statler Brothers, me -Patsy Cline, but Merle grew on me. He surprised me with a different CD to play each week and regaled me with stories about the artists' lives or where he first heard a particular song. He helped me rehab my broken ankle last year and joked about who was the real teacher. Those years of private sessions were a really sweet time that enriched us both.
Sadly, Clint passed away a few weeks ago. At his celebration of life, I heard stories about what a character he was throughout his life and how he had touched so many people. No surprise on either count!

And there next to his picture was his dress Stetson and his Vietnam Vets cap that I never saw him without. Strains of old country music could be heard in the background, overlaid by laughter from another tale about Clint.

Peace to you, dear friend. May all our hearts be filled with love, Carla
