  A Letter from Pascale     A Letter from Pascale  

Dear Friends,

It's HOT, HOT, HOT... I'm usually a big fan of summer, but somehow these past few days have left me feeling a bit overdone. Not quite sure if it's an increase in the pace of my life, or the years under my belt, but I seem to feel it more intensely. So, what did I do? I hit the mat. I generated a softer internal heat and breathed deeply to dissipate the surface heat threatening to cook me alive. Aaaahhh, better...

It certainly started me thinking about my own vision for this steamy season. What does your summer consist of? Lazy days, barbecues, beaches, time with friends? Or is it more work, overheating, and complicated family scheduling?

Either way, it seems that we tend to drop some of our most supportive habits in the name of freedom, spontaneity or busy-ness. I would like to offer that this is precisely the time when consistency can feed us best. Imagine a summer with a strong body fit for a day running around with the family at the beach... or the flexibility to really take advantage of impromptu opportunities and the fun in simple moments... or at least the ability to cool yourself down with a well-directed breath!

Of course, here’s where your regular yoga practice fits in. Maintain the time and space for your practice and it will continue to nourish your growth and evolution through all seasons of your life.

Wishing you love-filled, chilled-out wellness,

YOGA and the Luminous Body with Ray Crist
Liberate yourself from the past and soar into your future!!

This is an incredible opportunity to study with one of my personal favorite teachers, right here in your own local studio. Ray is a profoundly talented teacher, whom I couldn't recommend highly enough. I really hope you will join us for this amazing exploration!

Yoga and Shamanism
These two ancient systems enable us to transform mundane everyday life into a profound and mystical experience. Through this workshop you will discover how the practices of yoga and shamanism lead to increased personal power and a sense of the Divine presence in all things.

The World of Energies
This workshop will give you a clearer understanding of the flow of the body's energy. We examine what the Yogis call Prana and what Shamans call the luminous sphere, as well as exploring the chakras - what they are, how they work, and how they connect Prana, our luminous sphere, and ultimately our relationship to the outside world.

Through a deep yoga practice and shamanic journey you will clear your chakras and release yourselves from past contracts that bind you.

Date: Saturday June 21st
Time: 12-5 pm
Location: Somerset location (900 Easton Avenue)
Cost:   $100
