Essential Yoga Friends and Students,
Today we celebrate Earth Day… It’s time to do our part to honor our great Mother Earth. Are you recycling and trying to conserve energy? Are you planting trees and growing your own vegetables? Are you remembering to take some time to appreciate nature? If we all just become a little more aware of our environment, we can do our part to change the world and make sure our children and grandchildren still have safe water to drink and mountains to climb. Get out today and just acknowledge how lucky we are to be able to enjoy green grass and trees. Plant a tree. Play in your garden, or take a long walk and breathe fresh air. Happy Earth Day!!
Peace and light,
Shari

What a great time to commit to your yoga practice. Let’s begin by asking; what it is you want from your yoga practice? Most of us want to feel good physically and clear and calm mentally. Others just want a yoga butt. Maybe it’s time to step it up a bit. Why not commit to adding just one more class per week if your current practice is one class a week or just one more if you are currently doing two or more. If you couldn’t possibly add one more class to your life right now then commit to taking your practice off the mat and living your yoga. What does that mean?1. Step back from stressful situations and take a breath before you react. So many times in life we just barge ahead without thinking about the situation.
2. Take risks…just peek over the edge in life and then step back ...peek over and then step back again. Keep trying new experiences and challenging yourself.
3. Honor your body…remind yourself to feel every situation. Do I need this cookie? Does my body need exercise, water, fresh air, calming stillness?
4. Trust your intuition in all situations. Stop and check in. Ask how does this situation feel right now?
5. Meditate. Allow yourself just a few quiet minutes a day. We need to stop listening to the insistent chatter in our minds and learn to become calm and quiet to see clearly.
6. Slow down and smell the roses. Notice things as you go about your day…just notice. Be awake present and alive in all situations.
7. Trust in the process of life. Life is an incredible journey.
Join us in your journey at Essential Yoga!! Allow our teachers to assist you in finding a unique yoga practice to enhance your well being. Visit us at www.EssentialYoga.net for a complete class schedule.
Begin your new life today!
Peace and Light,

Happy Holidays
Wishing you joy in the simple things this Christmas season….
Big, jolly belly laughs of a toddler
Puppy breath
Snowflakes on the windshield
Knowing smiles
Stars in a black sky
Sloppy, wet grandbaby kisses
Butterflies that follow you
Morning tea in bed
Guitars unplugged
The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking
Fuzzy slippers
A Good book to read
Sunlight on your face
Girl talk all night
Warm fires burning
Sun Salutations
Fresh air to breathe
A twinkle in that someone’s eye
Clean sheets just out of the dryer
A door held for you by a complete stranger
The squeeze of a loved one’s hand
All the silly things that make you pause and smile…..the simple things
Merry Christmas to you all
Love and Light,
Shari
Nov News
Hey Everyone
I hope you are ready for the holiday season to begin….I always dread this time of year. 1. Because It’s dark and cold and we can’t play outside as much 2. We don’t watch our diets and eat way too much rich food with all the parties going on 3. We are so busy we tend to give up our exercise and fitness practices and 4. Shopping .
This year I am vowing to try to keep some equanimity in my life to get me through the season. I am going to try to keep up with my meditation, keep up with my practice and not be so hard on myself. It is a time to slow down, make good choices and reflect on what is truly important. Thankfully we have yoga to get us through. Make sure you don’t give up your practice while you are so busy with shopping and getting ready for the festivities.
I am excited to introduce to you Rebecca Moore who will be teaching our new Zumba classes. I really feel that we could all use some out and out FUN in our lives and I really think Zumba could help us find that . When was the last time you just let yourself go and laughed and played and didn’t care what you looked like doing it? That is what I feel Zumba can bring to our practice. Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves to dance your worries away. It is based on the principle that a workout should be FUN to keep you motivated to stick with your practice and achieve long-term health. Zumba is a “feel- happy” workout that is a great compliment to our regular yoga practice. Starting November 1st Essential Yoga offers 2 classes. Mondays at 11:30am-12:45pm and Wednesdays at 5:00pm-5:45pm. The cost is FREE to Unlimited Members and $5.00 to all others. I plan on giving it a try…so don’t laugh when you see me trying. No on the other hand go ahead and laugh. Live, Laugh….Dance.
Much Love to you all
<3 Shari
