Letting Things Fall Into Place..
Signs of waning summer abound--crickets chirping, evening sweatshirts, my beloved hibiscus in bloom...
It is always bittersweet. In Vermont, summer is a wild explosion of bounty: fresh veggies, lush greenery and inviting lakes and rivers to cool the feverish summer run. Northerners know this magic and squeeze every last drop from the season. We know the reality of a New England winter in all of its long phases, and autumn means preparing for it.
Before the cold sets in, however, something truly magical unfolds. Late summer, early autumn in New England form a distinct season. It can be long, invigorationg and deeply grounding all at once.
I can feel the urge to cling to summer, but I'm tapping into the yoga wisdom of Aparigraha. A- means "non", pari- means "on all sides", graha- means "to grasp". It translates to: "non grasping, in a complete way". To let go, to let things fall into place and to find contentment with the present, even in the midst of change. I soften my shoulders and unclench my jaw; I slow my breath and focus on the world around me, right now. Calm washes over me as I turn toward the more nourishing autumn rhythms, with ease and gratitude.

Foundations: 6 week Beginner Yoga Series. Join me, Wednesday September 9th through October 14th. The series costs $99 and includes use of yoga mats and props. Participants also receive unlimited access to our regular weekly classes for the duration of the series.. This offer is exclusive to non members or those without current passes.


Sacred Sunday Yoga
Returning after the Labor Day holiday, Sacred Sunday 9:30am has been my longest running class! It is a leasurly 75 min class that begins with midful Somatic Movement and breath, transitions to a steady strong Vinyasa Flow and winds down to a deeply relaxing savasana rest. I weave in yoga theory and intention, offer "hands on" assists, and may use yoga balls and props for self massage.
