Tibetan Prayer Flags

Dear friends,

You may have noticed a string of flags hung at the studio. Here is a brief history on them.

The Tibetan prayer flags come in five different colors each representing an element of nature: blue-sky, white-clouds, red-fire, green-water, yellow-earth. Prayers are written in a combination of Sanskrit and Tibetan script. These flags are normally hung on the highest points such as mountains, roof tops and are meant to give blessings of long life and good luck for every living being from day to day. The prayers printed on them are read and sent on their journey by the wind.
On the four corners of each flag are the names of four different animals believed to have power. They are the dragon, garuda (mythological bird), lion and tiger.

Your perception of the prayer flags may be different now that you are aware of its' history. Next time you practice meditation or come out of Savasana, why not glance at them, close your eyes and send out your prayers to the universe...

peace and namaste

Yoga for Teens workshop starting on Sat.January 28, 2012!

Satula Yoga will be offering Yoga for Teens workshop on January 28th, 2012.

It is wonderful that yoga is available to everyone, even the teenagers! Teens are often involved in active sports and activities and are more then ever before much more technologically savvy. They are surrounded by competitiveness, are actively engaged in activities and paving way to a green living. Teens will appreciate the non-competitiveness of yoga. It is a calming activity which will enhance their other activities. Yoga will increase their strength and stamina and as well reduce stress, become more aware of their bodies and their surroundings and further bring an overall sense of balance in their often busy lives.
Recommended for ages 13-17 years old.
6 sessions, once a week on Saturdays starting January 28th, 2012.
Time: 2:30pm-3:30pm
Dates are posted on the 'workshops' page.
Please contact Satula Yoga by phone or email if your daughter/son is interested or wish to drop by the studio for more information.

Karma Yoga
Once a month. Sunday, Jan.22nd, 2011.
In the spirit of giving back to the community, the teachers of Satula Yoga Studio have donated their time and teachings once a month. As it is a selfless service, serving without any attachment to "I" or "me", our ego does not come into the transaction between the teacher and the student (or anything else). It will therefore be a free class, offered right before the meditation class.
Once a month. The dates and timings are posted on the 'workshops' page.

You may reach us by phone, email or use the 'contact form' in the sign up page for any further information.

peace and namaste

Impermanence...

Namaste dear yogis and yoginis,
From time to time I will post up personal blogs, interesting articles along with Satula Yoga updates on this forum.
I have been fascinated by the following subject: impermanence, nothing is permanent. I am aware of this, at least I thought I was until once in a while I get a jolt of surprise when things actually change significantly in my life. I have to be honest and say that when things go well, I catch myself thinking...'hmmm...I like where I am..things are going smoothly and exactly the way I want it to be..' Oh oh! At this exact moment, universe pinches me and now I am presented with a challenge. Then appears those wrinkles between my eyebrows and I look up to the sky. And a friend smiles and says: 'Lucky You! Another opportunity to grow!'

As it often occurs, I happen to pick up a book, Boomer Yoga, by an author who is a pioneer in Power Yoga, Beryl Bender Birch.

Here is what Ms Birch says about changes..
"Our bodies, our minds, our interests, our abilities, all are changing. It is undeniable. The body is really slowing down-whether it begins to happen at forty-five or sixty-five, it happens. Our perspective and passions change. The change is irrefutable and the longer we resist noticing, the more out of touch we are with the whole process of personal evolution. We are supposed to change, everything in the world of form changes-things come into existence and things go out of existence and we will all pass along. It's not depressing. It's life. It can be difficult or easy. Only one thing determines which it will be-our own resistance or compliance."

"..if you resist, you miss out on the whole reality of life. If you comply, you join in the flow, and you can even direct the rudder as to which direction you'd like to go. By not resisting I don't mean you just accept any injustice, any abuse, or any illegal act that comes your way. I am not saying that there aren't some things in life that will make us unhappy or uncomfortable-and given the state of our global condition, there are plenty. But until you get present with them, you can't do anything about them. Accepting what is, simply because it is , and then doing the work for transformation, moment by moment, day by day, is the way of true yoga. But the first step is to be present all the while with each moment, as it is. "

As Deepak Chopra writes in his book Buddha...
"Look at the forest. We walk through it every day and believe it to be the same forest. But not a single leaf is the same as yesterday. Every particle of soil, every planet and animal, is constantly changing. You cannot be enlightened as the separate person you see yourself to be because that person has already disappeared, along with everything else from yesterday."
