Kali. Goddess of destruction

-

 

Can anyone relate to this painting right now?

Reading the news these days..all the discord and lack of respect...lack of unity... makes me feel like sticking my tongue out at.the world.

In the hindi religion Kali is the great destroyer.  Instead of being viewed as the evil one she is admired and seen as a necessary part of creation. 

Although it's painful to see something you've worked hard on destroyed... sometimes it is necessary process.  It teaches us to see how we are attached to things remaining the "same as always" and then to practice "letting go" .  It also enables us to rebuild better.  

I guess what's happening in our world must be necessary on some level because indeed, there seems to be nothing that can hold it back. Who sings that song, "you don't know what you've got til it's gone..pave paradise.. put up a parking lot".. joni Mitchell? 

It's clear to me that I really didn't appreciate what we had before 2016.... and then covid happened.  But, I'm learning more about politics than I ever cared to.know and now that I know,  I hope i get a chance to run for office.  I'm kidding. 

but .....I'm very interested in aiding the Peace process within each individual. Perhaps you too yearn for more peace in your body....in your world?  

 To that end, I'm adding a new ONLINE class: yoga with meditation . 10am til 11:15 on Friday and Sat morning .  Starting Fri/Sat November 21 and 22. Running for a trial period of 3 weeks to start.  Perhaps the last class can be an in person class where we can meet each other?  My in-person classes are at Peace Church in Shoreview.  Check out class days and times at bodymindcircle.com

. Thru the 1st weekend of Dec..   your investment is $20 for one class, 18 each of you pay for 2, and 16 for 3 or more.  Just email me the dates you want to.attend and I'll send you  my venmo, zelle or PayPal. 

You can buy a print of the Kali painting above on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4388015306/vibrant-kali-goddess-canvas-hindu-deity?ref=share_v4_lx

.. Hello Hiyala......Your healing work was wonderful yesterday. The way you had the mat and blankets set out I felt like I was in an indigenous healing house. You knew exactly what I needed  to unwind from the stress of too much driving and a way too busy December.  I am always grateful to you....your skills and your kind and open heart.... the whole person you are. Have a beautiful day

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...

How to book your yoga and massage

 I'm a bit old fashioned and i prefer the personal touch.  I prefer to talk to my clients and find out about them and their needs before they arrive for a class or a massage.  Please call or text me to make an appt for a phone chat.  Together we will determine which yoga class would work best for you or a good time for your massage or aerial yoga session. In my yoga classes, everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace.  We are currently focusing on  the chakras and the vibrations of these colors in our bodies as well as the energy of the elements.  In these days leading up to the holy days, we are doing a contemplative practice with periods of meditation. I hope you will join us!
