I (Lydia) will be traveling with my husband Sonnie for a part of the
winter, flying south after the S.S.I. retreat in November. You will
all enter my heart as I stand under old sequoias, wiggle my toes into
the earth and feel the strong dry winds. It feels wonderful to know
that I can come home our "yellow room" and all the people/teachers
that keep it an alive, vibrant and healing place. You will all be
missed!
and I (Sarah) am very much looking forward to cozying up together in
the yellow room through the dark wet months of the winter. I will be
around through the winter and look forward to teaching and exploring
lots together. Such a wonderful time for community sharing and
growth. I am planning a Fundraiser day on December 10th at The Yoga
Studio in memory of Finn. There will be yoga classes, a silent
auction and a slide show in memory of my son, Finn. Stay tuned to the
website for more details, everyone is welcome (kids, parents...dogs on
the deck:). All proceeds will be put into the FRE Foundation, a
charity set up in Finn's memory which will help support pediatric
palliative care in Canada. If you have items you would like to donate
to the silent auction, please email or drop by anytime - all donations
are graciously appreciated.
Smiles,
The Yoga Studio Team.
"When searching for honesty, it is especially helpful to respectfully
and compassionately tell your many selves to be quiet. After that,
you wait and see what comes up in the absence of noise. You wait
and you listen, you listen and you wait. And eventually, with any
luck, the incessant human need to verbalize will be replaced by a
feeling, and when your actions and words spring forth from this
feeling that is cultivated by sitting still and creating space, they
will
be infused with honesty."
Amy Manusow.
