Well Spring is finally here! I hope you all get the opportunity to be outdoors a lot and enjoy the sunshine. The fresh air brightens our spirits and when the sun is shining, we get the much needed Vit. D to keep our bones strong. Walking outside is a great source of physical exercise, but it can also be a way to meditate and quiet the soul.
Try practicing a walking meditation or what I call a prayerful walk!
Just walking with mindfulness, being very in the moment, being mindful of each step, each noise, each bird that you hear and see, each breath that you take, notice the breeze, the temperature of your skin, notice the sky, the road that you are walking on, be very aware, feel gratitude that you can walk, that you can breathe, that you can enjoy this day.
Think of all of those who cannot enjoy this day, who are sick, bedridden, in jail, depressed so much that they cannot see the beauty in the day. Think of those who you would love to send this wonderful feeling of walking, of enjoying the sunshine, of breathing deeply; and send them love and compassion. Enjoy your walk, your breath, this day, for them. Be happy in this moment of walking. Enjoy each step with gratitude. Happy walking!

Sv(w)adyaya and Parmahansa
If you have been coming to class, you are probably familiar with these words.
One is a man's name and the other is the fourth Niyama. Do you know which is which?
For those that would like to know more about this man, who happened to bring yoga to the West, are welcome to stay for approx. 30" after Monday's class (March 9) to discuss the book.
Class schedule remains the same. Thanks for checking the blog and let me know that you did!!
See you on the mat! Kathleen
