Namaste Yogis,

  • You love Yoga!

  • Your practice is your life and your life is your practice.

  • You want to incorporate the philosophy of yoga into your day to day life and keep your sense of humor.

  • You yearn to use your practice to live skillfully, stay centered and grounded on and off the mat and be happy.

  • You are a student wanting to deepen your understanding of alignment, asana, and energy flow.

  • You are a teacher, looking for fresh ideas on class themes, sequences and poses.

  • If you have tweaks and pains and physical issues, you can sign up for private yoga and therapy sessions.  If you are stuck in your stuff, and don’t know who to ask . . ask the Yogologist, or simply hang out and see what Isvari will come up with next!

Dad’s Passing

Post image for Dad’s Passing

My dad passed on March 15, Ides of March. My mom and siblings were by his side with my hand on his heart.  I practiced experiencing death as a yogi and the beautiful completion of a cycle while simultaneously feeling its pain and attachment to his form as a daughter. I was imagining something much more dramatic but in Dad’s case he simply closed his eyes after a long battle with Parkinson’s where his condition continued to deteriorate. I watched the prana drain from his hands and feet and work its way inward and up. We spent his final 2 days telling stories, praying and listening to music. When we played his and mom’s wedding song, Love is a Many Splendid Thing, he completely responded if only with his heart. It is only now kicking in and I have found myself in a little funk.

I am once again tapping into the impermanence of life and all its preciousness. We have to look out again and again and see all our treasures that are immediately in front of us.
We already are all that we are searching for.

Free Yoga at the High Museum

Post image for Free Yoga at the High Museum

Riden with illness, injury, miscarriage, and over 30 operations throughout her life, Frida Kahlo is an inspiration to all. Inspite of so much pain, she was able to transcend it and to express it in painting. Her art was her yoga, it kept her whole.  “The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to.”

Practice yoga at the Piazza with me and allow the poses to express who you are the way Frida painted as an expression of herself, her strength, her passion, her resilience and also not afraid to confront your pain and tragedies. “pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence.” ~Frida

Yoga on the Piazza from 9 – 10am on Sunday, May 12.
Free parking and $10 admission is being offered til noon after the class.

Friday April 19 through Sunday, April 21 at It’s Yoga Puerto Rico

Schedule:

Friday, 6:30pm -8:30pm  “Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors where there were only walls.”
Hip openers and other poses to go deep into blocked places.  We will explore new pathways and previously unexplored spaces for expansion to manifest. When your hips are open, you will feel more contentment and bliss.
$30 in advance,  $35 at door.

Saturday, 1:00pm -3:30pm  “The number one reason people do not follow their bliss is because they’re afraid of what others will think.” This session will explore a new paradigm of opening the body in a balanced way, incorporating therapeutic principles of alignment to help alleviate imbalances in the nervous system and to realign the healthy curves of the low back and neck to get one’s energy moving in optimal flow and healthy pulsation. We will open up the hips and shoulders in each pose to create an overall improvement of postural alignment on and off the mat.
$35 in advance,  $40 at door.

Sunday, 1:00pm -3:30pm “People are not looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” Therapeutics. When you have pain in your body, it is hard to tap into the joy in your heart. We will look at common muscular skeletal injuries in the body including neck, shoulders, wrists, elbows, hips, back and knees.
$35 in advance,  $40 at door.

Isvari’s workshops for this weekend are inspired by the words of Joseph Campbell
