Extend/Expand

As yoga practitioners many of us know to extend our physical asana and postures. But the real work comes from expanding from our dynamic core to our skin. From the core to the periphery and then that informs back to our core.

Sit with your arms reaching out to your sides. Reach your arms out making the muscles and bones long, yet active. Extend.

Now reach you arms again and imagine that you are reaching from the ocean of your heart to the rivers of your arms and to the smaller rivers of your fingers. Radiate like the sun from your center out to your skin. Focus on the cylindrical energy of your arms. Expand!

"If extending is from the intelligence of your brain, than expanding is from the intelligence of the heart." BKS Iyengar

New Year's Day

How do we veil ourselves? What is your ultimate potential? We plan to explore these questions in the New Year's Day practice for all levels at Studio Be Yoga from 10-11:45am. I will be co-teaching this class with Michelle Anderson to ring in the New Year. We will start with some chanting together and move through a practice to explore the past to discover the present moment. I hope you can join us.

My 2010 Schedule

Lots of Choices for 2010!
Teaching Schedule for 2010


Many of you have asked for me to share with you my January 2010 teaching schedule. So here it is. I am very excited at the depth and variety of teaching (and locations) that I will have available.

I will also be offering many workshop opportunities in 2010 at The Yoga Workshop and Studio Be. Please continue to check their websites and I will send you notices via newsletters.

This Spring I will again teach the Prenatal Yoga Teacher Intensive! Please spread the word to caregivers, pregnant mothers or yoga students that are interested in the field of Yoga and Pregnancy/Postpartum care! There will be an incredible group of women gathered to teach it again. I am firming up plans but it looks like it will be in April.


Thank you in advance and hope to see you soon and again in 2010!

Namaste,
De

Introducing Purnam Wellness:

Stephen and I have joined together to create Purnam Wellness. Purnam means whole or perfect. We will be kicking off our website this new year!

I have been offering private yoga therapy in Boulder since 2001. I offer sessions working on various issues including building home practice sequences to balance heath issues, digestive health, and muscular/skeletal challenges.

I offer a number of sessions times a week in our quiet office in North Boulder. I also am available for group or private sessions at other locations.

Call or email me to schedule yourself or give the gift of wellness for the holidays!

First the Laundry, then the Laundry

How can this statement be a metaphor for our yoga practice. As a mother it seems the laundry never ends. When I think it is "done", more comes. If I think that I "do" the pose, I am missing the point of the practice. Yoga practice never ends. Do your practice now. Be in the present moment, there will be more laundry later.
