Wanna be able to do this, but can't afford yoga?  Now you can!

The fitness open house is in preparation for our $3 classes that will start in August.  The schedule will be posted here: http://www.zfitnesswilmington.com/

I will be teaching an 8 am Basic Yoga class on Monday and Wednesday, and a Power Vinyasa Flow class at 6:30 pm on Wednesday.  Come join me!

SUPY

There are several places to do yoga other than on a yoga mat in a studio: in the office break room, at the airport waiting for your connection, on the beach, in a box, with a fox, here, there, and everywhere (I should stop now before I mention in a house with a mouse).  For a while, I thought I'd done yoga everywhere imaginable (except while scuba diving), then a friend invited me to do Stand-Up Paddle board Yoga (SUPY).  It was amazing practicing yoga in the water with the birds and the fish and the sunshine!  It was a fun way to challenge my yogic balance, strength, and focus.  I'd recommend SUPY to anyone with an interest in yoga and nature.

Spiritual Sayings of Khalil Gibran

Some of my Favorites:

"To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he ha already achieved but at what he aspires to do."

"I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dew drop."

"Does the song of the sea end at the shore or in the hearts of those who listen to it?"

"The optimist sees the rose, the pessimist only sees the thorns."

I hope this business card doesn't make me look like a Landscaper.

After months of diligence, there she is. 

Saucha (purity in thought and action)

Watch your thoughts, they become words;
Watch your words, they become actions;
Watch your actions, they become habits;
Watch your habits, they become character;
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
                                           -Upanishads

Officially a RYT

It's official, I have my 220 hr yoga teacher certification (RYT)!

One of my projects for certification was to teach a series of non-profit yoga classes, so here's some pictures of my first yoga student ever:

Thought I'd try to brighten such a dreary monday with some corny yoga jokes...

Relax

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - Relax.  If you relax, it comes.  If you relax, it is there.  If you relax, you start vibrating with it.

-Osho

Don't Worry, Be Happy

"Happiness is not in another place, but in this place.  Not for another hour, but this hour."

-Walt Whitman

The Wisdom of Dr. Seuss

Today you are you!

That is truer than true!

There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

Shout loud, "I'm lucky to be what I am!

Thank goodness I'm not jut a clam

or a ham

or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam!

I am what I am,

Thats a great thing to be!"

Spring, Sprang, Sprung

"Walk lightly in the Spring, Mother Earth is pregnant."  -Native American proverb

"Spring is natures way of saying, 'Let's party!'"  -Robin Williams

An Elephant Never Forgets

"What's that you say?  Tomorrow is what? Ohh, of course!  It's the first day of Spring!"

Breathe

"This is how it works.  You're young until you're not, you love until you don't, you try until you can't, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh, and everyone must BREATHE until their dying breath."

-Regina Spektor's "On The Radio"
