If your summer calendar is filled with planning out of school activities for your kids, extensive travel for business or vacation, or is just filling up with new appointments (or old ones you could not keep up with!), then feeling great while you are doing all of this does not have to be a struggle. Treat yourself like you do your car! Isn’t it amazing that as one of the wealthiest nations in the world, we take a lot of pride in caring for our cars; we can’t ignore the oil changes, fluid flushes, tire changes or regular maintenance that our cars need to live long. Yet, when it comes to best performance for our bodies and fuel for our spirit, our investment in this often takes the back seat and we either feel guilty taking time to do this or brush aside the discomfort and stress, convincing ourselves that it will eventually pass. This summer, we encourage you to nourish your precious body and take the time to flush out the waste and clean out the filter. Our summer detoxification therapies can jump start your vital life force energy needed to live a long and radiant life. Go ahead – the only real luxury you need is simply the time for yourself to balance your spirit! Wishing all of you a summer filled with playfulness, joy, and abundant vitality! Namaste |
Summer is just around the corner and it is the time of the year where
feeling light and energetic carries us through the myriad of activities
and events that come with the season.

Being in
sync with the internal and external rhythms of nature is essential
to our well-being. One of the gifts of yoga and its sister science,
ayurveda, is their ability to engender in us a growing sensitivity
to our own prana so that we learn to move through our lives with steadiness
(sthira) and ease (sukha). These two Sanskrit terms are familiar to
most yoga students from an oft-quoted aphorism in Patanjali’s
Yoga Sutra: sthira-sukham asanam. This is sutra 2.46, and is most
commonly translated, “Posture (asana) [should be] stable (sthira)
and comfortable (sukha),” but is more literally translated as
“Resolutely abide in a good space.” Becoming established
in “good space,” however, is only possible when our prana
is healthy. And cultivating healthy prana is a process that extends
beyond the edge of our yoga mat into every aspect of our daily lives.
When we start infusing our yoga practice, lifestyle, diet, and relationships
with sthira and sukha, we pave the way for a life of balance and spiritual
insight. For more information or to book your place, please contact at 415-259-0433.
