Travel, Travel, Travel

It's been a busy and productive year for me here in Seattle, developing new curriculum for my workshops and retreats, organizing yoga programs at Therapeutic Health Services & the Hutch School and assisting the 8 Limbs 200 hour RYT Teacher Training Program.

Now it's time for a well deserved break. As many of you know, I will be taking a sabbatical from my teaching life in Seattle to explore the yoga offerings in SE Asia between December 6, 2010 and January 16, 2011. It is an exciting and expansive time period for me to shed old forms and be exposed to parts of the world and myself I have yet to see. My hope is to include you in my journey by making at least one post from each country I visit (Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, Bali and Australia) and to share with you whatever insight is gained from my studies in Asia. Be sure to check back in mid-December to see what is transpiring.

As for now, we have another two weeks of practice together, so I'll see you on the mat!

8 Limbs Teacher Training

Just a quick reminder that I am assisting the 8 Limbs Teacher Training this weekend and will not be at my Sunday morning classes in Wedgwood. The fabulous Douglas Ridings will be subbing for me, so please keep up your practice with him, and I will see you soon!

Yoga & Mindfulness for Depression

This past week I was invited to attend a workshop for clinical therapists that focused on using Yoga & Mindfulness to treat Anxiety and Depression. It was a great reminder for me of how the simplest of tools can provide the most profound shifts in our perception and help reframe our experiences. In the coming months I'll be exploring the multitude of ways that we can bring these practices to life in our daily activities in hopes of sharing these practices with you later this Spring. If you are struggling with anxiety, feeling down or just curious about how to work with the discomforts that come in go in your life, check back with me near the end of March and see what I've discovered.

Join me on the last Sunday of every month for a restorative practice. Designed to release and renew the body through supported postures, simple breath techniques and guided meditation, you’ll leave feeling deep rested and fully reconnected!

Yin & Yoga Sutras

This once a month class is designed to expand the realm of yoga for seasoned practitioners by introducing the long held postures of a Yin practice with mini-meditations on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Yin Yoga is a passive practice that lengthens the connective tissue of the body to restore ease of movement and provide free range of motion in the joints. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the wellspring of all modern yoga practices. Composed of 196 sutras, or threads, these verses detail what it means to be human and how the path of yoga can lead to clear vision and balanced living. Drop in or join me for all of the sessions to deepen your practice!
