March quote

It is the first mild day of March.
Each minute sweeter than before...
There is a blessing in the air
Which seems a sense of joy to yield...

~William Wordsworth

As you will see if you look over to the right side of this page, I've added a number of links. Judith Lasater and Shiva Rea are the most recent teachers that I have trained with. Also linked are locations where I teach on the Mendocino Coast. The Yoga Journal and Yoga Today sites offer some great resources for your home practice. Stay tuned...:)

Schedule, moving deeper into February

hello all! I am delighted to report that I am getting more requests to sub classes, and feel joyously blessed to be able to continue teaching in this community. I've received nothing but support from the other teachers around here, which I am most humbled and honored by.
To recap and update:

Redwood Health Club
*CHANGE* Saturday, February 13th 10:30-12:00 Lisa Orselli is subbing this class.
Tuesday, February 16th 5:30-7:00 sub Yoga Flow for Mike
Saturday, February 20th 10:30-12:00 sub Yoga for Susan

Mendocino Hot Yoga
Wednesday, February 17th 9:00-10:30 Hot Yoga Flow

C.V. Starr Rec Center
Tuesday, February 23rd 7:00-8:15 sub Yoga for Kristan

In other, more personal news, I've quit waiting tables at Lee's Chinese, which is a giant leap of faith in some ways. The net that will appear consists of a combination of teaching opportunities (both group classes and privates) and student loans/scholarships. Ultimately, whatever happens, quitting that job is the right decision for me at this time. It was the one incongruent thing in my life, the one thing that didn't really reflect who I am and the direction I want to be heading in.

Finally, some yoga quotes for you. Hopefully, these will re-inspire you to your home practice, inspire you to come to our classes, or both!
Love, Hannah

"Stress causes dramatic reductions in the ability to think coherently and creatively, and to perform movements requiring skill and dexterity."
~Michael Hutchinson

"Equanimity and peace in all conditions, in all parts of the being is the first foundation of the Yogic status. Peace is the first condition without which nothing else can be stable."
~Sri Aurobindo

"Where does the body end and the mind begin? Where does the mind end and the spirit begin? They cannot be divided as they are interrelated and but different aspects of the same all-pervading divine conciousness."
~B.K.S. Iyengar

"Yoga is a technology for arriving in this present moment. It is a means of waking up from our spiritual amnesia, so that we can remember all that we already know. It is a way of remembering our true nature, which is essentially joyful and peaceful...It is a means of staying in intimate communication with the formative core matrix of yourself and those forces that serve to bind all living beings together. As you establish and sustain this intimate connection, this state of equanimity becomes the core of your experience rather than the rare exception."
~Donna Farhi

february quote

February arrives cold, wet and gray, her gifts disguised for only the most discerning spirits to see. Gentle is our path. Gratitude is the thread we weave into the fabric of our daily lives this month...
