Asteya is one precept for our yoga practice. Translated to Non-Stealing. It teaches us to take only what is offered and only what we need. Living a mindful life helps us prepare and live for now without fear or stealing from the future. It can mean only eating until we are full, only sleeping until we are rested, and moving our body the right amount for today. Living in balance without overeating, oversleeping, and overexercising (or under).
This weekend we have our second weekend of teacher training and look at the history of yoga and the eight limbs of yoga. We will dive deep into all of the Yamas and Niyamas as well as how yoga evolved over the millennia.
As we look at the evolution of yoga I cannot help but look at my personal evolution with my yoga practice and the evolution of the studio. It is amazing to think of the girl I was 20 years ago when I started my practice. How my body has changed, my mind has changed, and all of the stages of my growth. I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on your evolution as well. It is a beautiful thing.
When I speak of evolving I also think about the evolution of my aerial practice. My husband bought me a yoga trapeze 8 years ago. It was fun and different. However, the first time I got in an aerial hammock a whole new world was opened to me. If you have not tried Aerial yet, please do. It is an amazing experience and it could be your new passion.
The Annual Aerial Showcase was born out of the evolution of our aerial practice. The amazing things we learn demand to be exhibited. Join us and see 30 performers share their passion. We will be in the big hanger at Reds Roadhouse on October 2nd. We have plenty of space. The show begins at 7:00 pm and the doors open at 6:15 pm. There will be a food truck, cocktails for sale at the bar, and live music at the after-party until midnight. Pre-sale tickets are $30 and $40 at the door. Please buy your tickets now.
The Showcase will be a big costume party. Please wear your favorite costume. There will be a $100 Cash prize and a trophy for the best costume. Don't forget bragging the rights!
There are only two more VIP tables available for the showcase. When you purchase a VIP Table you have a reserved table upfront for 10 people. You also receive a one-hour private session with your favorite Sunshine Teacher.
Mallory's Equinox Yoga, Nidra, and Sound Bath workshop has been moved to Friday the 24th at 7:30 pm. Come celebrate the change of the season and finding balance. Look forward to a November workshop with Angela focused on Chakra balancing.
Love and Light,
Lynn
