Is it just me, or are we ALL a bit tired and stressed out right now? With the end of the holidays and the start of the new year, aren’t we are all just a little bit tired? The cold weather is adding to it: change, drying out, stress… Vata Imbalance it’s called in Ayurveda. We need RESTORATIVE YOGA to chill out.

By the way, this little video was originally made for Indian Nickelodon (kids) TV, and I’m sure they passed it by many Indian Censor Panels to make sure that it was politically correct and not offensive. The comments on YouTube by Indians find it very funny. Enjoy. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.

A local son of Woodstock has moved to Vietnam and is working to feed families there. Here is his story. Come to the Party this Saturday night and BUY A T-SHIRT! One t-shirt will feed a family for a month. Do it! We’ll see you there.
p.s. It’s a Vegetarian Pot Luck
p.p.s. Last year with our Yogis for Food T-Shirts we raised over $2000 for Queens Galley Food Kitchen in Kingston, NY. Let’s do it again for these Vietnamese kids.
Jesse Gold’s Story about forming “Prosperity Through Progress”:
I have been living in Vietnam for a little over a year. When I got here, I had every intention to volunteer my time to help others in need. But I got wrapped up in my job teaching English, meeting new friends, and my badminton and tennis groups. Needless to say, I was a bit selfish. When my girlfriend Nhung told me about a charity fund that helps impoverished Vietnamese villagers and orphaned children that live in a remote forest pagoda with Buddhist monks, I was moved to help, especially in light of our (more…)
from the Washington Post (!) written by his Jewish daughter (!). A fantastic memoir. So beautiful. Enjoy!
p.s. I was at the wedding. It was wonderful. Mazel tov! and Radhe Radhe!

We all have much to be thankful for living in the Woodstock area. I hope you add to your list how profound it is that we are able to freely practice yoga and to spend time on the spiritual path. This is one of our greatest blessings in life.
Have a great holiday, and I look forward to seeing you in this year’s
Post Thanksgiving Digestion Class
Friday, November 25
11:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Mountain View Studio, Woodstock
$20
(Mountain View Studio is just off of Rock City Road, opposite the Colony Cafe, behind the Main Free Public Parking Lot)
NOTE: Please bring your own mat if you have one, I usually run out in these big classes. Thanks.
This class is open to all levels and all students of all styles of yoga. But please, no absolute beginners or major injuries for this class. It will be moving too fast for your safety.
The Apana Vayu Prana is the main downward digestion energy of the body. Although most yoga classes and postures are done to stimulate the upward flow of Prana to lead towards Enlightenment, unless the downward Apana Vayu is moving correctly, congestion, blockages, sluggishness, constipation, and dullness will result.
It’s not: “You are what you eat.” It’s: “You are what you don’t poop out!”
After a feasting holiday, it is good to work on asanas to stimulate this downward apana and the digestive circulating samana pranic flows. This will be a STRONG yoga class. Besides stimulating the Apana & Samana Vayu Pranas, we will work to stimulate the Agni Gastric Fire. Please let me know before class if you are having your period. Some abdominal asanas are not appropriate during menstruation. Alternate postures will be offered for you, so don’t let that be an excuse not to come.
We will work on the following:
* kriyas to stimulate digestion and elimination
* asanas to stimulate digestion and elimination
* jumpings in the various asanas and vinyasana
* inversions
* twists, compressions, and stretches to the abdomen
* a long expansive restorative pose to relax the abdomen and belly at the end
Regular 2 hour students can use their class card to pay the discounted $18 price. If you have an 1 1/2 hour card add $4. All other students pay $20.
Please be at the studio by 10:45 to sign in and get a space.
See the previous post “Be A Yogi, Be On Time!”
If you wish to register and pay in advance with PayPal you will reserve your space.
All levels / ALL students of all styles of yoga welcome!
We will work on broadening and softening the abdomen
to get you relaxed and ready to feast.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 23rd, 4:30-6:00 p.m.
Mountain View Studio, 20 Mountain View Avenue, Woodstock
$15
THIS COULD BE YOU! YOU DESERVE IT!
