From the Pres. wow.

asato ma sad gamaya
tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
mrtyor ma amritam gamaya

Om shantih, shantih, shantih

Lead me from the untruth to the Truth
Lead me from the darkness to the light
Lead me from death to Immortality

Om peace, peace, peace.

From the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad,
one of the earliest of the Upanishads (8th-7th century BCE)

Diwali

To Muge Daido Daiosho

In birth, nothing is added.
In death, nothing is extinguished.
Yet, today, autumn leaves are falling in the veil of tears.
Your whole breath released into infinite sky.
Another moment of ceaseless giving,
Soaring on a vow more ancient than time.
No Hindrance Great Way is Thus.

Aieeeeeeeee……

Learning to love all of this world is your intimate teaching.
Letting go completely is my gratitude.
Trees and clouds are bowing with the wind.
Leaves are dancing through dark and light.

–composed by Fusan Ryushin Sensei

Is it just me, or are we ALL a bit tired and stressed out right now? Fall, the time of change, drying out, stress… Vata Imbalance it’s called in Ayurveda. We need RESTORATIVE YOGA to chill out.

6:15-7:30 pm
(Immediately following the Level I-II Class)
Mountain View Studio, Woodstock

There is nothing special needed for this class. All students are invited, from all schools of yoga and with all levels of experience. Come, get the props and blankets out of the cabinet, and prepare of an hour plus of guided relaxation in a number of different poses. Simple pranayama will be introduced, but if you are too tired or stressed, JUST REST! Set yourself up for deep healing and relaxation.
