Some options:<br />
<ul>
<li>The City has a few Yoga classes running for the summer (check out the Parks and Rec Guide)</li>
<li>Local studios continue to run classes through most of the summer</li>
<li>Enjoy the beauty of our parks and do some Yoga on your own (or with a friend) outside</li>
</ul>
When I have info on the fall classes it will be posted here (likely in August).Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-90827999794966683382013-03-17T14:30:00.000-07:002013-03-17T14:30:10.216-07:00April to June 2013 schedule<span class="Normal-C8"><span class="Normal-C10"><span class="Normal-C8"><span class="Normal-C10"><span class="Normal-C8"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Monday - Full Figure Yoga

<u>Spotlight on Savasana</u><br />
<u></u><br />
We end each class with Savasana (Corpse Pose). We relax our bodies into the earth.
Sometimes it is a guided Savasana and other times we simply relax and listen to the
music.
<br />
<br />
Think of your Savasana
like a short meditation practice.
Bring your mind to your body,
relaxing all of your muscles or
bring your mind to your breath.
If you keep your attention on
your breath or body while you
relax, your mind is less likely to
race ahead to your post-class
activities. Give yourself the kindness of this additional
moment of relaxation.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-62339674640285013342012-12-28T13:16:00.000-08:002012-12-28T13:16:38.340-08:00Current Group Class Schedule<strong><span style="color: #002435; font-family: Arial;"></span></strong><br />

Today, I'm posting on more doing. The whole idea is that sometimes I spend too much time thinking and not enough actually acting on my thoughts. Too much time in my head, not enough time in the world.<br />
<br />
So I've been working at actually getting more done, both fun things and productive things. I've been bringing some of my favorite activities back into my life. And I've been looking at what I can drop to fit these new things in.<br />
<br />
On that note, this will be my last blog post. I have greatly enjoyed sharing my thoughts with others, but it is time for other pursuits. I'll leave the blog up so that people can still read my past posts. <br />
<br />
Namaste,<br />

Just like writing, thinking is another thing that is good for me...to a point. <br />
<br />
Thinking about something is good. Over-thinking doesn't do me any favors. Sometimes I find myself in a loop of thinking about the same thing over and over.<br />
<br />
This affects me in a lot of different areas of my life. I used to be an impulse shopper, but now I've almost gone to the other end and often research things for ages and, in the end, don't make a purchase.<br />
<br />
I can easily go off on a tangent with my thoughts. As an example I may decide I want to take a Yoga retreat. Then I spend hours looking at options online, researching, planning. And then I decide not to go. <br />
<br />
Thinking is good. Research is good. But I am practicing recognizing when enough is enough and it's time to make a decision. <br />
<br />
This goes hand in hand with the Less Writing, a chance to get out of my head. Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-7293241478612871752012-08-27T08:43:00.000-07:002012-08-27T08:43:08.219-07:00Less WritingExpanding on a <a href="http://nadinesyoga.blogspot.ca/2012/08/weekend-retreat.html" target="_blank">previous blog</a>, today I want to talk about less writing. Actually, I guess I'm writing about less writing (yikes). <br />
<br />
There are two places I write. In my journal and on my blog. <br />
<br />
Journaling can be a really beneficial process. I've used it a lot over the years and I'm sure I will continue to use it in the future. However, one thing I've noticed is that when I write something out, when I acknowledge awareness of the things going on in my mind, I stop there. I'm proud of myself for figuring it out, but don't actually go to the next step of changing my patterns. So, while I'll continue to use my journal in some ways, I'm journalling a little less to allow myself to not get stuck in the trap of observation over action.<br />
<br />
And my blog? What's wrong with writing here? Nothing. But why do I do it? Part of it is a need to share with others. The idea that I need to share my thoughts for them to be complete. And while I can share my thoughts, I'm also working on practicing keeping some of them to myself.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-36743929282485463522012-08-24T08:54:00.000-07:002012-08-24T08:54:00.694-07:00Less ReadingI <a href="http://nadinesyoga.blogspot.ca/2012/08/weekend-retreat.html" target="_blank">previously blogged</a> about less reading, less writing, less thinking, more doing. Today I'll expand on less reading.<br />
<br />
I don't actually mean less reading. I love to read. I read both fiction and non-fiction and will continue to do so. By less reading, I mean less reading for an answer. <br />
<br />
I know the answer. I have a path. Mindfulness meditation. And then I'll see a book and be drawn to it. While I know the path might naturally change directions, I also see that what I'm doing in that moment is looking for an easier path. Looking to escape the work that needs to be done.<br />
<br />
So the less reading is less reading for an answer. I will still read for enjoyment, inspiration and to broaden my horizons.

It was a great weekend. It was good to get some solid meditation practice hours in. <br />
<br />
I always find certain things come to me more clearly during meditation retreats. I've had a recurring theme come up over the last month or so. And it came to me again during the meditation retreat.<br />
<br />
Less reading, less writing, less thinking, more doing.<br />
<br />
...Hopefully I've piqued your interest. Stay tuned. <br />

For years I've been a stomach sleeper and have been unsuccessful every other time I tried to change it. However, this week I easily switched to side sleeping. While my neck hasn't gotten worse, it also hasn't gotten any better. <br />
<br />
So, I'm going to give reflexology a try. I found these two sites and I'll give it a try over the next few days:<br />

Buddhist aspects throughout the year. The challenges come from a variety of
places including readings in Deborah Adele's </em><a href="http://www.theyamasandniyamas.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;"><em>Yamas
and Niyamas</em></span></a><em> and Thich Nhat Hanh's </em><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Heart-Buddhas-Teaching-Thich-Nhat/dp/0767903692"><span style="color: #351c75;"><em>Heart of the Buddha's Teaching</em></span></a><em>

I love activity (or exercise). I love moving my body. But inertia is an amazing thing. If I spend too long sitting still, I can have a hard time getting myself moving on a regular basis again. <br />
<br />
I've been working on walking partway to work for a while. This week I challenged myself to walk the entire distance (6 km) and I did it twice. <br />
<br />
I love walking and when I do a longer walk like the one to work, I can feel myself getting back into my flow. I get to a point when moving isn't effort, when I feel connected to the earth and all the natural world around me, when I'm just happy.<br />
<br />
I feel as if I crossed an imaginary line. I look forward to continuing to enjoy my walks to work and carrying that flow throughout my day.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-48528103845912942992012-08-09T09:29:00.002-07:002012-08-09T09:29:35.184-07:00Yoga's EvolutionJust like many things in our society, Yoga's evolution has started to happen quicker and quicker in recent years. Yoga is everywhere now. Yoga is being mass marketed and used in popular advertising from clothing to yogurt and everything in between. You can find Dog Yoga, Acrobat Yoga, etc. <br />
<br />
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?<br />
<br />
I do think that Yoga is diluted in many of these off-shoots. Many people think Yoga is purely a physical practice and many teachers (myself included) have a predominant focus on the physical aspects in class. Many people don't know and may never know of the deeper practices and benefits of the other Yoga practices such as pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sensory withdrawl), etc. <br />
<br />
On the flip side, the general dilution is what has made Yoga accessible to others. Some people only want the physical benefits of Yoga (which are great). Some people would be turned off by an overly philosophical class. And the vast variety of asana (physical Yoga) classes out there, means that Yoga has the opportunity to touch more people. My classes are very gentle and have lots of modifications for those that need them. Other teacher's classes are more vigorous. Some classes have chanting. Some have meditation. In this way, people can explore and find the Yoga style that works best for them and reach out to explore Yoga's non-physical aspects if they are drawn to.<br />
<br />
For me, I teach a predominantly physical class, with some breath awareness and a philosophical reading. But for my personal practice, I am drawn to the more spiritual aspects of Yoga. <br />
<br />
I think Alice Walton discusses this issue great in her article: <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2012/05/03/the-great-yoga-debate-is-western-practice-evolving-or-devolving/" target="_blank">The Great Yoga Debate</a>Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-80601266992933282182012-08-07T17:47:00.001-07:002012-08-07T17:47:16.792-07:00Yoga at HomeI enjoy reading <a href="http://www.feebleyogi.com/" target="_blank">The Feeble Yogi</a>. Most of the time he is blogging about the Yoga classes he takes. However, I encourage you to read <a href="http://www.feebleyogi.com/2012/08/do-try-this-at-home.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. He talks about enjoying a great home practice. My favorite part: "While I enjoy having an instructor, a studio, and fellow yogis around me, I do
not require these things to practice yoga. I am learning how to do yoga on the
inside."<br />
While I love teaching Yoga, I am always happy when people tell me they are practicing at home as I think that is when Yoga really sinks into your being.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-51510784456577264722012-08-04T14:42:00.003-07:002012-08-04T14:42:47.260-07:00Week 31 Challenge - Keeping My Mouth Shut<em>This year I decided to challenge myself to reflect on various Yoga and

<br />
This week I am contemplating a quote I read at some point. I can't tell you who it was or quote it exactly, but the gist is that the benefit of practicing silence is because we can all use some practice keeping our minds to ourselves. <br />
<br />
I recognize and appreciate the irony that I am now blogging about this particular contemplation.<br />
<br />
I know that I often fall prey to the belief that something hasn't really been experienced until I've shared it with another. It's been a point I've worked on making a little progress on for a while. <br />
<br />
The first one I looked at this week is negative gossip at the office. It is so easy to be drawn into some sort of complaining or outrage at others actions. And I always walk away with a bad taste in my mouth. It's not something I'm proud of and I don't feel like there is anything productive that comes out of it. So for now, I'm working on not letting myself get drawn into that cycle.<br />
<br />
The other one I looked at is really pervasive both at work and in my teaching. It is essentially the overshare. I think about this one a fair amount. I am who I am, and that means I'm going to be on the friendly side. But at work I sometimes go out of my way to share something personal with someone who is working. I have been actively working on curbing this tendency and letting whatever it is go. In my teaching, while my classes are of the chattier variety, I still want my students to have some quiet and space for their own focus and reflection.<br />
<br />
And, for me, the trick is looking at what is at the root of these habits. When I'm engaging in some form of negative talk, I feel as if I'm trying to connect with the person I'm talking to. It is a type of bonding and in doing that I'm looking for their approval. But I know that the only person whose approval matters is my own, so I will continue to work at keeping many of my thoughts to myself. <br />
<br />

<br /><strong>What is it?</strong><br />
<br />
I think of it as Music Plus. On the surface it is some nice soothing music without lyrics. However, what you can't hear is the key. Using "neural and biofield entrainment technology" the music is designed to "evoke a pure, sattvic field of deep relaxation, peace, mental clarity, joy and somatic balance." <br />
<br />
<strong>How did I use it?</strong><br />
<br />
I listened to the music in two situations. During my morning meditations and while riding the bus. I wanted to see what I thought of it in some different situations. <br />
<br />
<strong>What did I think?</strong><br />
<br />
For starters, I'm not a background music type of person. I don't play music during my Yoga practice or during my meditation practice (unless it's mantra meditation). When I listen to music, it is my popular music playlist for specific scenarios (walking, boxing, etc). But, having said that, I enjoyed the general music.<br />
<br />
During my meditation, I found the music mildly distracting (as I find any music); however, at the same time it gave me something to focus on if my mind did wander. It helped lead me back to my breath quicker than usual. However, in the long run, I don't really like having music on while I meditate.<br />
<br />
On the bus, it wasn't my favorite. If I want to listen to music on the bus I tend to use my music for mantra meditation. The Sattva music wasn't objectionable, but it also wasn't really noticeable because of the noise of the bus.<br />
<br />
So far I've talked about the music itself, because it is hard to review the actual intent of the music. In such a short time (1 week) it was hard to tell whether any more peace brought into my life was the result of the music or other practices (or more likely, a combination). <br />
<br />
But, I believe in this technology. And I believe in the power of intention. And (also important), I think it's nice music. So, I am going to try and find somewhere to incorporate this into my day where it fits well. And I think that, in the long term, it will help me on my spiritual path.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-23510711422863745812012-07-31T17:05:00.001-07:002012-07-31T17:05:22.508-07:00August Newsletter - Meditation Tools, Breath and Booking / Cancelling ClassesI've posted my August newsletter: <a href="http://www.nadinesyoga.ca/August2012.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">click here</span></a>.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-9632389846776479542012-07-28T14:49:00.000-07:002012-07-28T15:21:15.250-07:00Week 30 Challenge - Letting it Rain<em>This year I decided to challenge myself to reflect on various Yoga and
Buddhist aspects throughout the year. The challenges come from a variety of
places including readings in Deborah Adele's </em><a href="http://www.theyamasandniyamas.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;"><em>Yamas
and Niyamas</em></span></a><em> and Thich Nhat Hanh's </em><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Heart-Buddhas-Teaching-Thich-Nhat/dp/0767903692"><span style="color: #351c75;"><em>Heart of the Buddha's Teaching</em></span></a><em>

<br />
This week, I took my inspiration from a quote from Deborah Adele's book: "I am reminded of the wisdom of a 116 year old man, who, when asked the secret to his longevity, replied, 'When it rains, I let it.'"<br />
<br />
This feels especially pertinent living in the Pacific Northwest. And even more so given our current weather. You see, it's been hot and sunny and while most complain about the rain, I take umbrage with the heat.<br />
<br />
So, this week I worked on "letting it rain". This felt different than letting things go, which I also work on. In order to let things go, first I need to attach to them. Letting things go is, in that way, very reactionary. <br />
<br />
Letting it rain was more preventative. I worked on not getting worked up about things in the first place. The heat, of course. But also all the little things that might cause me frustrations. Letting them be as they are. No need to worry, overthink or stress. Just let it be.<br />
<br />
I loved it! Definitely a practice to keep. And a good reminder that I have no control over the weather or, for that matter, dozens of other things that happen outside the realm of my body. My primary concern is my thoughts, my actions; not those of everyone else. An easy thing to say, and such a challenging one to practice.Nadinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753648169837972429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804614724107014965.post-33001086687950485192012-07-26T16:28:00.001-07:002012-07-26T16:28:06.386-07:00Club Med of SalvationI found this really funny.

<br />In
the mass array of celebrity exercise and diet trends, women are often
bombarded by images that focus on a "stylized” version of
fitness rather than a holistic embodiment of health. For women,
finding an exercise practice that not only allows for them to develop
strength, cardiovascular conditioning and overall body wellness can
be confusing and overwhelming. However, adapting a safe yoga practice
can ease women out of the chaos of trend and towards a journey of
self-confidence and physical fitness. <br />
<br />
On
the whole, enabling women to learn to see themselves as both
physically strong and mentally centered can provide a level of
fitness that is often overlooked by various trends found in more
traditional forms of exercise. Yoga provides women with an
opportunity to clear a quiet space for themselves and adapt their
bodies to the natural flow of movement, which in turn grants the
participant an array of benefits. The flexibility training and
posture progressions that yoga affords can assist with an increase in
joint range of motion and musculoskeletal plasticity as well as
relief from stiff joints and certain effects that come with
conditions such as arthritis and tendonitis. According to <a href="http://www.sjhsyr.org/" target="_blank">St.
Joseph’s Hospital</a>,
Americans are nearly 100% likely to have an episode of knee pain at
least once in their lifetime. Continued and devoted practice also
helps to develop the core strength needed to support a healthy back
and stable spine. Focus and attention on body alignment, increasing
flexibility, endurance and keeping the mind uncluttered, all aid in
providing a sustainable and enjoying yoga practice. <br />
<br />For
women, it is vitally important that any exercise journey not focus on
what needs to be “fixed” with the body, but rather what the body
and the mind are capable of achieving if conditioned properly. With
yoga, women are able to fully engage themselves in a practice that
focuses on holistic health, not a shortcut to superior fitness. Such
a practice forces the participant to slow themselves down,
concentrate on both one’s internal and external strengths and
channel such qualities into their everyday lives to help <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/yoga/CM00004" target="_blank">reduce
stress</a>
and filter anxiety. <br />
<br />
All
too often women are “quarantined’ to the areas of a gym that
include “women friendly” equipment and all too often because of
this environment, women miss the fundamentals of exercise to improve
health. A <a href="http://nccam.nih.gov/health/yoga/introduction.htm" target="_blank">yoga
practice</a>
can offer women an outlet that is both relaxed, self-paced and that
provides the opportunity to focus on both the mind and the body’s
progression in a well-rounded approach to fitness. For most women,
finding the time to exercise is a constant battle. However, with the
increased demand for more and more yoga-centered facilities, women
have access to a wide array of venues to begin their practice. As
with any new exercise program, it is vital that one is aware of their
limitations, has done their research and sets realistic goals. <br />
