February Newsletter
February Full Moon Greetings;
The full moon represents the fullness and culmination of a cycle, a stage, a journey. What does this cycle culminate or end for you? As there are great shifts in the world economy and politics, it seems that each day is the end of something and the beginning of something new. This flux and turbulence has become a steady stand-by as we feel struggle and fear the vast unknown. However, there is always hope because we all know that what goes down must also come up ~ it is the natural order of the universe! And with that we engage in a sadhana (practice) of hope, perseverance and renewal. Yoga is all around you – Yoga is life – and there has not been a more important time for all of us to find a practice, a community, a gathering place that supports all we do. When times get tough – do more Yoga! As Yoga helps you feel good, peaceful and happy.
At Ananda Shala we commit ourselves to not only offer you a space that you can enter and instantly feel peaceful and vibrant but also a community that brings you events, workshops, and gatherings that support a radiant, blissful life. Join us in February with special Valentine’s specials and couples massage; defy gravity with arm balancing workshops; feel better with Ayurveda; and bring the kids for special Yoga classes.
love blessings to ALL;
