Dear friend,

We are entering the holiday season, one of the busiest times of year.  This is also a time of year when we may neglect our self care, rationalizing that we have too much to do for others to have time to take care of ourselves.

It is actually during these times, that our self care habits become most important, reducing our stress levels and the stress levels of all who come into contact with us.

I encourage you to start a 40 day practice, leading you into the new year, even if only 3-11 minutes/day.  This practice will improve the way you approach your entire day, more than making up for the time you spend meditating or doing a kriya.  For ideas for meditations, chants, kriyas, and/or visualizations, please ask during your therapy session or yoga class.

Yoga class themes for December are listed in the article below.  I have choosen them carefully, in order to be particularly useful for this often stressful time of year.

Looking forward to seeing you in class, taking some precious time for yourself, so you can approach the season with renewed strength and balance - truly making it a time of joy. 

Welcome Patty Oser, new Office Manager

Patty Oser, of Pathway to Peace Energy Balancing, will be managing the office starting December 1.  Patty will be calling to remind you of appointments, yoga classes, and will be generally keeping me organized.

December Kundalini Yoga Classes:

Weekly yoga classes continue to run on Tuesdays from 9:00-10:30 am and Thursdays from 6:30-8:00 pm.  A book or CD of your choice or a pound of bulk yogi tea is now included with the purchase of a ten class pass.  Please come out to class and join us for Yogi Tea afterwards. 

Classes December 1st and 3rd are on bringing more sun energy into our life during this darker time of year through the Sun Salutations, Surya (sun) Kriya, and the Meditation for Rejeuvenation.

December 8th and 10th are on stimulating the pituitary gland in order to have it release more "feel good" hormones, such as seratonin and dopamine and to enhance  inutition.  In these classes we will do the One Minute Breath, Kriya for Stimulating the Pituitary Gland, and Meditation for Self Blessing and Intuition.

December 15 and 17 will be on reducing the impact of holiday stress on our lives with Sitali (cooling) Breath, the Stress Set for the Adrenals and Kidneys, and the Mediation for Tattva Balance beyond Stress and Duality.

Classes are cancelled December 22, 24, 29, and 31 so that everyone can enjoy the Holidays.  We will return on Tuesday, January 5 to welcome the new year.
