New Years Yoga

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make it to the group meditation or the slow flow class this morning since I had to get my beloved on a flight. But after watching her successfully get through the airport security, I was able to get home in time to change [...]

Penultimate Day 2011

Has it been a year already? I closed out 2010 and began 2011 with yoga at the Sri Yoga Center‘s New Years Eve Satsanga, closing out the year with kirtan and japa then starting the new year in silent reflection and meditation.

2011 was an incredibly full year for me filled with workshops, kirtans [...]

Booting Judgment Out the Door

Booting Judgment Out the Door.

by Diane DeGiorgio Cesa on Wednesday, 19 October 2011 on Facebook.

An interesting note about reserving judgment.

I was first intrigued at the beginning where someone had said, “I just had a crappy yoga practice.”  My initial reaction to that statement was “It was your practice.” Whether a yoga [...]

Bhakti Vinyasa Project, 09/11

Has it really been nearly a year since Luna, Joshua and Katy last brought the Bhakti Vinyasa Project to the Sri Yoga Center? I guess it has. As always, it was great to see Luna, Joshua and Katy again. It was also great to hear Luna play songs from her new album, One Shared [...]

Then while the class chanted the Durga Mantra we each made individual offerings to Durga. After group pictures, we retired [...]

What I’ve been reading

Here’s some stuff I’ve I’ve been reading online lately. I’ve also been reading Sri Swami Satchidananda’s The Living Gita which is hard to put down once I start reading it.

Yoga Studies Update

Sri Yoga Center‘s first Yoga Studies Program is at the 2/3 complete point. I’ve noticed significant progress in my yoga practice and my home practice is starting to become part of my daily routine. Since the program began I’ve looked forward to the classes and I’m really looking forward to the remaining sessions. We’ve [...]

Is Yoga For Me?

On October 6, 2005, I asked the question, “Is yoga for me?” That was nearly four years before I set foot inside a yoga studio. I have no idea what led me to ask that question. The full quote from the post from my For What It’s Worth blog was, “Is yoga for me? [...]
