Namaskaram!
Maria Garre Teaching at the Vancouver Conference earlier this month
I am learning that all of life is a relationship, cultivating a relationship with ourselves and the world. This simple teaching rooted within Yogic scriptures is both simple and profound at the same time. Through our hurried lives, we often forget the power of interactions and experiences that shape our thoughts, physical body and energetic being. We hit auto pilot as soon as we rise from bed and move through life in a perfunctory way, disconnected from the very moment that we are in. But then there are the moments of pause and stillness an we remember that each breath offers a new way of interacting, observing. And perhaps it is why many of you love Yoga and are do drawn to this practice because it renews your relationship with yourself and others !
This month, Lorin Roche offered us vibrant and dynamic ways to meditate upon our life and literally see, feel the joy of life. In 14 days we are hosting our teacher, Shiva Rea, for what I consider the best way to realize the integrity of relationships through Rasa, the taste and juice of life. She will be offering various practices and teacher training that merge yogic teachings to every day applications that will spark your inner peace, fire, love and bliss. And lastly, this month I hope to see all of you as I return back from my studies in Albuquerque at the Ayurvedic Institute for special Prana Flow® classes to energize and balance your flow on and off the mat!
Allow yourself to reflect and ponder the possibilities of approaching each day as relationship with yourself and the world.
Blessings from All Directions

Temple of Rasa will explore full-spectrum approach to living yoga with energetic alchemy. We come into balance through understanding the wild and sublime flow of nature or the movement of prana.
In each class we will explore and meditate upon:
- How do we evolve and become more of who we are? How do we transform habits and conditioned responses to life? How can we align ourselves with the sacred flow of our personal and collective evolution?
- Learning how to stay in the flow of everyday life. Understand how we flow like nature – that we change with the seasons, the phases of moon, the energy level of our body and the bhava or mood of time of day.
- Attune ourselves to the sacred flow of our breath, consciousness, devotion, spontaneous wisdom, creativity and truth in every moment.
In the last few years, there has been a shift in consciousness based upon the wisdom of experience. Never before has the capacity to change and the capacity to remain centered ever been so tested often resulting in a conflict between the two. The capacity of dancing with change while being rooted in your center is the key to living fully in the flow.

Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine Testimonial
Aimee Firor McBride, photo by Jenay Martin
The meditation weekend with Lorin Roche PhD & Camille Maurine was mind altering for me in the sense that it has expanded the way that I see, hear, feel and think. A weekend with this pair is like a massage for the mind! The way that Lorin & Camille are able to translate their 90 years of combined meditation experience in a form that is accessible to everyone in every day life was so powerful to all who attended.
The two of them played off of each other, shared funny stories of Lorin’s extensive studies with Indian meditation masters and boiled it all down into simplicity. We interacted as a group, explored our personal experiences and were able to ask all our burning questions in the most positive and supportive environment imaginable. The experience, insight and knowledge we received will honestly forever change many of our lives. We are so blessed to have teachers of this magnitude coming to share such authentic knowledge from living and breathing their meditation for so many years and sharing it with us in a manner that isn’t intimidating in any way.
They dramatically broadened my perspective on meditation from what I have experienced in the past and have read in texts – something I didn’t expect but a very welcome perspective. Now I crave, desire and love my personal meditation space more than I could have dreamed. This was one of the most transformative weekends of my life as it has not only brightened my personal spirit but has strengthened my relationship with everybody and everything that surrounds me and I hold close to my heart. Many thanks and gratitude for the blessings of such a powerful weekend.
