Two Chair Classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays Each Week at NOON!

Yoga, unlike other physical activities, emphasizes self-acceptance, 

which is something that's largely missing for those of us who dislike our bodies. 

The program in our heads—I'm not pretty enough, thin enough, tall enough—builds in volume over years 

until it's practically the only radio station playing. 

Odd as it seems, the vessel that keeps us alive, that nourishes us, begins to get nothing but our scorn in return.

Yoga isn't a miracle. 

But it does allow us to recognize the miracle we inhabit, 

to move from a world that emphasizes physical beauty 

and ideal body shapes into one that teaches us to honor the power our body offers.  Yoga Journal

Dear Friends,

Our chair yoga classes which are taught by Debbie Seals are doing well.  We are moving them to noon on Tuesday and Thursday (on January 29th).  This is a "Bring a Friend for Free" type of class.  If you know of someone who would enjoy a gentle yoga practice at an easier pace with the benefit of a chair, please invite them to class.  I like the joint movement and range of motion elements of the practice.  Debbie does an excellent job with this class, and I hope you will consider adding them to your week.

Vinyasa Flow for Beginners and Intermediates will begin on Tuesday and (on January 31st) Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.   Unless I am out of town, I will be the teacher of this practice of breath and movement.  If you want a heated practice with some Chaturangas, this might be the class for you!  We will also be doing a lot of standing postures and balancing practice.

Some of you have mentioned adding a "Kundalini" class back into the schedule!  After the Weight Winners and Ayurveda Overcomers complete their workshop series, we will make it our 10:30 a.m. class on Saturday mornings.  It is fast, fun, and totally different than our regular Hatha Yoga practice.  This will begin in February on the 23rd.  Please let me know if this Kundalini practice is something you might enjoy.  Thank you. 

Last Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a "photo shoot" with Jenipher Rowe.  She did an amazing collection of photographs which you will see on our Facebook postings andwww.tranquilityyogastudio.com  I am also building a website for my OSU class called, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants in Learning."  This website will have yoga resources for you to check out if you are interested in learning more about postures, meditation, or practice.  It is not ready yet, but it is in the works.  

Exciting things are going on at Tranquility Yoga in Owasso LLC!

The Invitation

The Invitation by Oriah, Mountain Dreamer

The Invitation by Oriah

 It doesn’t interest me

 what you do for a living.

 I want to know

 what you ache for

 and if you dare to dream

 of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me

 how old you are.

 I want to know

if you will risk

looking like a fool

 for love

 for your dream

 for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me

 what planets are

squaring your moon...

 I want to know

 if you have touched

 the centre of your own sorrow

 if you have been opened

 by life’s betrayals

 or have become shrivelled and closed

 from fear of further pain.

I want to know

 if you can sit with pain

 mine or your own

 without moving to hide it

 or fade it

 or fix it.

I want to know

 if you can be with joy

 mine or your own

 if you can dance with wildness

 and let the ecstasy fill you

to the tips of your fingers and toes

 without cautioning us

 to be careful

 to be realistic

 to remember the limitations

 of being human.

It doesn’t interest me

 if the story you are telling me

 is true.

 I want to know if you can

 disappoint another

 to be true to yourself.

 If you can bear

 the accusation of betrayal

 and not betray your own soul.

 If you can be faithless

 and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty

 even when it is not pretty

 every day.

 And if you can source your own life

 from its presence.

I want to know

 if you can live with failure

 yours and mine

 and still stand at the edge of the lake

 and shout to the silver of the full moon,

 “Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me

 to know where you live

 or how much money you have.

 I want to know if you can get up

 after the night of grief and despair

 weary and bruised to the bone

 and do what needs to be done

 to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me

 who you know

 or how you came to be here.

 I want to know if you will stand

 in the centre of the fire

 with me

 and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me

 where or what or with whom

 you have studied.

 I want to know

what sustains you

 from the inside

 when all else falls away.

I want to know

 if you can be alone

with yourself

 and if you truly like

 the company you keep

 in the empty moments.

Weight Loss Classes at Tranquility Yoga! Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

Consider changing your life with yoga, mindful eating, and meditation!

According to Ayurveda (holistic medicine the yoga way), you are not only what you eat but how you eat.  If you eat in haste while under stress, you will undermine the digestive process, which depends on being calm and relaxed to effectively digest.  Ayurveda says that 80 percent of all disease starts with digestion, which is challenged by distracted eating or eating on the run.

Great information from Kristen Schultz Dollard from The Yoga Body Diet.

Come and hear my story how I went from 221 pounds and a size 22 dress to 141 pounds and a size 6/8 dress.  E-mail me for more information about our weight loss clinic on Saturdays at 10:30 or Sundays at 2:30.  $42.00 for six weeks of yoga, journaling, teaching, sharing, and meditating!  A mat, comfortable clothes, and a willing attitude are all you need!  No shoes required.  (:
It doesn't matter where you are right now; it matters where you are headed in 2013.
