Retreat today!

-

 Margaret Roach writes in her gardening column this week, “Plants are flopping, and leaves are dropping; the garden is letting go.”  Letting go is hard. In yoga we study our tendencies to cling.  Our aversion to change.  Well, the changes are happening whether we like it or not. Embrace change. Watch the judgements we have about it. Oh!  Its time for the leaves to fall now.Luckily , the leaves falling can be a pretty sight.

It's going to be a beautiful day in minnesota..At peace church we'll be singing bhajans outside around a small fire at 4.  This portion of the retreat Is open by donation (scroll past photo)


and there's still room for more in the yoga class that follows the kirtan.please text me if you plan to come!  I m going to be busy getting it all together today, so if you don't get a reply from me..just come. 5050 hodgeson rd. In shoreview. Ffi: bodymindcircle.com

I came to the retreat because I missed being around like minded people. It was my first time doing aerial yoga. I was a little fearful at first, but those playful memories from childhood came back. Yes, I can do this! The different stations Hiyala had set up, opened my eyes,once again to all the different tools we have for self care. This took me out of my routine and reset my practice. It was a peace filled time outside singing with the Kirtan musicians. The day was beautiful, and that night I slept like a baby!

  For new students!  or those who haven't been to yoga for awhile: Spring is a time of new possibilities.  If  you've been looking for a way to re-connect with your body in a meaningful way..... if you have a new commitment to creating better health for yourself, ... sign up for this yoga class.  For those who are more youthfull, athletic  or advanced, I will offer more challenging poses.  For those who are feeling stiff and less confident, (beginners), I will introduce you to some of the basic poses as well as the breathing that we do .  Please sign up by contacting me via email:  blaineyoga@gmail.com.  I will ask you to pay $10 in advance so that I know for sure that we will have enough people for a class.  I look forward to meeting you! I used to wonder about the Bunnies and Eggs theme of Easter.  I mean, how do Bunnies and Eggs (and candy) relate to Christ?    In pagan times, before Christ, and before Easter was a holiday, the people celebrated the nicer weather of Spring t

Spring is in the air...(sometimes).   It was a nice sunny day.  I even got to cross country ski at Turtle Lake Park. The wind did make it a bit nippy tho, so I only went around the park one and 1/2 times.. Didn't make it onto the lake as I had planned. A new session of two months  will begin starting the first week of March.  It will run through the end of April for a total of 9 weeks.  You don't have to sign up for the entire session, we feel it is the way to feel the most successful in this practice at our studio.  It helps to create the sense of community that we appreciate so much during these times of political turmoil and confusion. Hiyala's class:  Tues am 9:30-10:45. Ruth teaches Thursdays "Chair Yoga" 5-6pm and "Body Flow" from 6:15-7:30pm. Hiyala also teaches a mat pilates class on Thursdays from 10-11am. To sign up, just email me and let me know your intentions.  I'll help you determine the rate you need to pay, and it'
