Dear Skyler,
Happy
Independence Day! I have just been given an
opportunity to learn a deeper meaning of freedom and
it's scary! I don't feel I have much to teach
about it, but I am grateful to have had some good
teachers & friends & good teachings to guide me
through this time.
As a nation, we may be
reevaluating what it means to be free. As most of
us are bound by credit card debt with no end in sight,
can we say we are truly free? As we are all
subject to having our calls & emails monitored, even
our pictures are taken randomly about 300 times a day,
are we free? Even though we may not have anything
to hide, our external world seems to be scrutinizing
everything, and yet, we may still be free.
Through
our meditation & yoga practice, we may at least find
more freedom in our bodies, mind & spirit.
I hope you find some space to really seek what you
want, be where you are, and know it is all perfect
somehow. I hear we are given only lessons that we
are ready for. I don't know that that's true, but
somehow with good friends & support from our yoga
practice, we learn what we need to
eventually.
Blessings to you all,
Skyler

Franco Zeffirelli's
signature lush photography, and use of real architecture
and settings enhances the story of this great historical
figure. Francesco, the spoiled son of a wealthy
merchant, following his return from war renounces all
his worldly possessions to live an ascetic and simple
life as a man of nature & divinity. To the dismay of
his family, friends and the local bishop, he gradually
gains a large following amongst the poor and
suffering.

& Thierry, July 28 at 7:30pm. Come
laugh & celebrate the first kirtan Skyler

Matthew Sweeney
will return to teach an Introduction to the Moon
Sequence, July 29, 2-6pm. This cooling
practice originally intended for New Moon & Full
Moon days is a lovely companion to the heating intensity
of any Astanga Series. Emphasis on the hips, groin
& lower spine will allow for a rest of the shoulders
& wrists. Appropriate for any fit
practitioner.
Matthew
Sweeney is widely regarded as one of the world's most
advanced exponents (4th series practitioner) of the
astanga Vinyasa system as taught by K. Pattabhi Jois.

I wish you all the
best. I hope you will visit our website or call
for more details if you are interested. We can
never know if we are going to lose our freedom or die
tomorrow, so take advantage of what you want to spend
your time doing rather than ALWAYS feeling
obligated.
The key is to inject insipration into your
responsibilities. I hope there is something
of what you want here, of course. But if not,
please tell me what you are interested in, and I'll see
what I can do..... Or otherwise, just find
yourself 100% in the moment wherever you are, whenever
you are, and that is yoga.
Yup, me again,
Skyler
