To do something/anything even in the face of fear.  Not to be foolish and take risks for the sake of laughs but to truly do something you know you must in order to make things right, to have integrity, to humble oneself, apologize or even stick up for self – even if you never have before and are afraid to step into this new territory of bravery.  The word comes from the Latin cor or French coeur – both meaning heart.  It takes a big, open heart to do the right thing with valor and honorably.

To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage. – Nichiren

We will explore “safari,” which means journey in Swahili.  Along the way we will encounter wild animal poses and as we breathe – we will venture within perhaps into our own uncharted territory, the deepest parts of our inner self.  On the mat and off the mat this week, imagine expanding your horizons and discovering and uncovering fresh adventures not farther than your own fertile savannah.

To all the women before me – you have gone ahead and have led the way with light, encouragement  and strength -moms of moms….

To all the women behind me – you teach me anew – moms to be and moms of young children…..

To all the women beside me – thank you for your frankness, sharing and support – moms of teens or twenty something’s  just grasping and learning truths about themselves and the world in front of them…….

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women and to Mother Earth

There will be no class tomorrow  due to Mothers day.  I will have my first class at just for the health of it in orange on Monday at 6 pm.

My thoughts, desires and sentiments flow harmoniously

I am in tune with my feelings

I trust my emotions and give them sufficient and adequate room for expression

I honor my body and treat myself respectfully and properly

We will explore the 2nd chakra – Svadhisthana – the chakra of emotions, water and relationships.  Wear orange!!

It is the chakra of creativity, joy and enthusiasm so come to class eager and wiling to be passionate!
