Happy Equinox: Studio News for week of Sept 23rd

“In the deep fall
don’t you imagine the leaves think how
comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of air and the endless
freshets of wind?”
―Mary Oliver, Song for Autumn

Hi Everyone!

Fall Equinox happens at 2:50am tomorrow morning so most of us will sleep through it. However you can still observe it in your own way.

This morning I’m thinking about how the equinoxes arrive during seasons of change which goes against any notations we might hold that balance is best achieved during times of quiet and tranquility! Poses such as the tree pose can help teach us that balance arises out of the juxtaposition of forces. As our foot presses into our strong leg as we continue to make micro adjustments as we hold the pose. I’m not saying you need to wake up at 2:50am to practice a tree pose, but you might consider including them in your daily/ weekly practices.

This Saturday Gentle Yoga classes begin again  with a special New Moon class beginning at 10am. More information below. Look forward to regular 10:45am classes beginning in October and going through the end of the year.

On Sunday April leads a special Yoga Nidra practice during her Restorative Yoga class. We are so lucky to have access to this healing practice on a regular basis!

Lynn is going to step away from her Saturday morning classes while her travel schedule is so hectic. For those of you looking to practice Qi Gong, her regular students meet even when she’s out of town. Please feel free to join them, they are a very welcoming bunch!

Lastly, you’ll want to save the date for Rahbi Crawford’s Feminine Empowerment Concert on Oct. 27th. For those of you who remember Rahbi performed at Infinity years ago. She practices a unique form of healing work using sound and guided meditation to help one align and balance their energy. More information on this concert below.
