Welcome!
Dear friends and fellow yoga students, welcome to my web site and thank you for coming. I am continually amazed at the possibilities for communication which the technology of the web site offers. I am so happy that we can share in this way!
My thanks to Jeremy Taylor for grooming the appearance of the site and making the navigation so easy. I love the new look of the site and appreciate the fine work and attention to detail.
I have just returned from my yearly teaching and retreat trip to Mexico. As always it was a wonderful experience. The retreats went well and again this year I gave myself two and a half weeks of private yoga retreat time. I spent this period in Oaxaca Mexico, having a week of juice cleanse as well as spending four hours each day in the Sachmo art studio painting and figure drawing. The yoga practice was so great for me with a strong focus on pranayama, restorative poses, forward bends, twistings and inversions. Since I give so many retreats it feels important to have the strong focus of retreat time for myself. I love the practice of silence and turning within during these deeply calming weeks and I find the time of cleansing to be very significant in coordination with the yoga practice. The practice clearly turns more yin and the pranayama and restoratives emerge as the key practices.
I have gone through many personal changes over the last year and feel that the yoga practice has been stirring up alot of creative energy which is moving through me. I’m looking forward to more creative expression for myself as well as bringing more art, singing, short writing exercises and improv games into the retreats. I’m feeling the element of fun and creativity so much and wish to integrate this more in the work I do.
There are some great retreats coming up, including the Five Day Esalen Workshop, October 2-7, followed by an invitation from the Sun to meet in warm Mexico for the February Oaxaca and Yelapa retreats.There are many other retreats available on the yoga page. I welcome you to have a look.
I have placed my own astrology chart on the astrology page and have given a few reflections about my chart and my view of astrology’s place in our lives. Reading astrology charts is an ancient part of who I am. I draw tremendous enjoyment from sitting with people and talking of their souls’ gifts, challenges and life path. I welcome you to check out the new astrology page.
Most of all, thank you for your spiritual practices of yoga, meditation, conscious breathing, chanting, journal writing, therapy, and all the things we do to free ourselves and integrate with the Supreme.
From my heart to yours,
