Enthusiasm

Each new day seems to bring news via conversations or emails of a new event, grass roots movement, or some other organization pouring energy into wonderful work to make the planet a better place.  This past weekend I took part in a Global Mala, www.globalmala.org, at Karma Yoga in Bloomfield Township.  Global Mala celebrates Yoga as Peace in Action, works to
bring the yoga community closer together, and raises funds for wonderful organizations.

Explore dance like Vinyasa, as well as a challenging asana practice. Contemplation can be enhanced through Asana, as well as Vinyasa. Each brings forth an opportunity to watch the mind, respective to the practice. For example, while asana may reveal deeply hidden truth, Vinyasa may allow for the development of metaphorical expressions.

In more physical terms, each class begins with asana tapping gently into congested channels. Preparation is a key to full expression. Opportunities to explore energetic relations in Vinyasa, as well as multiple asana sequences, follow.

Each Vinyasa is taught for approximately 6 weeks, giving the student an opportunity to learn the flow and ultimately listen to his or her unique calling. Asana builds toward complex poses, while lines of energy/ physical changes are described. All students are encouraged to address their edge, while remaining respectful of their physical, mental and spiritual states.

Aloha Everyone! Thank you for making the Gleaners food drive a success, every little bit helps when families are hungry and in need of a balanced meal.

      ♫ It’s beginning to look a lot like ♪… cold weather! I know I have already gone through some winter clothing; especially my daughters’ and have started a big pile to give away. I also started a pile to throw away or use as rags. Remember charities cannot use paint stained and worn out clothing. It creates more waste for them that they have to pay to haul  away. We want them to use every available dollar on the people that need it most, not the big waste disposal companies. So, please go through your closets or hit the stores and bring men, women and children’s fall and winter items only to the studio. Jeans and winter jackets are the most needed. Please drop off your clothes and coat donation by Oct 25th.

Just for Kids: Children with Hair Loss is a local non-profit organization that is based out of Rockwood, MI. They provide children with wigs while they are going through chemotherapy or enduring a disease that prevents hair growth. These wigs are free to these children and their families, as opposed to Locks of Love that charges people for their wigs. CWHL provides some children with new hair replacements every year up to the age of 21. Visit the website at www.childrenwithhairloss.us .Talk with your children’s local PTO and or principal to organize a hair cutting event that supports this worthy cause. I put a few brochures about their organization at the studio. Jefferson Elementary in Wyandotte will be having one in the spring of ‘08. Grow that hair!

Green Miracles:  I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been seeing more and more things on TV and in the news about “how to go green”. I think the country is catching on! A good tip for going green is to use safe cleaning products like baking soda for scouring sinks and tubs and vinegar for cleaning surfaces. Don’t forget to bring your reusable bags each time you go shopping. Also, Greening of Detroit will be planting over 100 TREES in the Russel Woods Neighborhood! The tree planting is sponsored by the Detroit General Services Department in conjunction with the Mayor’s Next Detroit Neighborhood Initiative. We will be planting 100 street trees in this beautiful Westside neighborhood. We need 200 volunteers to come out, roll up their sleeves, and DIG IN! Volunteers should meet October 6th at 9am at Russel Woods Park across from 12650 Broadstreet, Detroit, MI 48238. Remember it's never to early to sign up!
