From the
owners:
Hello, Highland
Family.
August is a
month of mixed emotions. In only 31 days,
the summer’s bounty
we eagerly awaited -- swimming, fresh fruit, and bronzed skin --
will soon be behind us. Over the course of
this month, the veggies we planted only 2 months ago will be nearing
their final harvest. And even though technically it will still be
summer until Sept 22, in our hearts summer will be over. If August
had a flavor it would be bittersweet.
Somewhere in
us, the child who looked forward to a season replete with adventure,
freedom, and possibility, starts to whine as it closely counts down
the 31 boxes on the new page in our calendar. "Not yet," it says "We
just started."
These are the times when we're reminded of how challenging it is to
be in the present moment. It’s difficult to accept that the summer
is fleeting. But yoga teaches us to stay aware of the now – our
breath, our body, our mind, our spirit. The consistency of our
practice extends our ability to be awakened and although it seems
that the present moment lasts longer, it’s just that we’ve fine
tuned our senses to savor what’s happening now.
Perhaps, if
we practice, and take each August day as it comes, in 31 days all we
will taste is sweetness.
Namaste,
Anelyn and Stephen
(with Cordelia and Lucien, too!)

Anusara Immersion with John Levis |
|
 |
|
What is the Anusara Immersion?
The Immersion is an opportunity to deepen your practice and
understanding of Anusara Yoga on all levels. It will provide the
forum to fully understand elegant bio-mechanics of The Universal
Principles of Alignment TM
that will teach you how to move deeper into your body's innate
potential to thrive in a fun, light-hearted environment. The
practice will be supported by the life-affirming philosophy of
Shiva-Shakti Tantra and it's practical application in your life. You
will connect with like-minded and like-hearted individuals providing
for stimulating and mind blowing conversation that will lead to...
~Well, only one way to find out!
The Immersion is for anyone who is curious and willing to enhance
their lives through the practice of Anusara Yoga. It is an
opportunity to learn what simply can't be taught in an hour and
fifteen minute class. If you have left class feeling more eager,
more curious and more interested in the practice of yoga, then the
Immersion is the place to be.
The Immersion is a total of 108 hours, divided into 3 modules.
Module 1 will be offered this fall on Sundays, from 12:00-6:00 pm.
