I am creating these "Yoga Extras" blog posts for those of you resonating with the public yoga classes & Yoga Teacher Trainings I am leading. Inside of these blog posts you will find extra resources that support our weekly class theme. The weekly classes I guide are themed according to the season & collective energetic "weather"--This is of course influenced by many things; for instance, not only national and global events but how masses of people are feeling about and reacting to those events. It is also influenced by space weather (see spaceweather.com) & the current movement/placement of celestial bodies ie: the sun, moon, planets, nodes, stars, etc. You can find me teaching currently at Black Swan Yoga (North-Anderson) in Austin, TX. I am on the schedule as "Erika K." Mention this webpage for a free class.
Physical Focus (Peak Pose): It's another shortened week, Buttercups. No class Sunday due to NYE. But I WILL see you on the above dates (F, Mon, Tues). This will be a variation on the sequence from the last 2 weeks. If you're curious about a written description, reference the last two blogs. 😘😘😘
Philosophical : New Years! Resolution? NO resolution? In a "yes, and" universe, *holding both?
Holding both: resolving to create positive change for a new year ahead while holding that thought with great care, to avoid sending yourself the message that you are not whole & complete exactly as you are.
Energetically inherent in a resolution, in my opinion of course (grain->salt), CAN be the idea that the current version of you is lacking. Stick SOLELY with such thinking long enough, do we run the risk of throwing away the idea of stable, long-term contentedness (eh, inner peace?!). In a quantum universe (a law-based "place"/experience) what you want, also wants you. So, that "improved" or expanded version of you is coming your way. It MUST. It is LAW. The acorn WILL become the oak tree. Period. Just as we will become the fullest version of ourselves. We aren't exactly acorns though. We are human beings, being AND doing. My 2023 vote is for accepting/appreciating EXACTLY the beings we are, right now, while also softly & excitedly holding the energy/image/intention of expanded possibiliites for us/our lives.
Below you will find the week's playlist (each week is brand new) & reading as per usual. Beyond that are 7 soul-focused questions--to get you feeling more comfy in your spirit-skin--for our new year. They are written by one of my very favorite spiritual teachers, Dr. Caroline Myss.
Enjoy. Have fun. See you in 2-4.
With Great Love.
