JULY / AUGUST /SEPTEMBER 2010

Ancient Remedy for Modern Stress

Namaste Everyone – LongTime Students & Newcomers

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…” as the Porgy & Bess songs goes -

and a good time to rededicate yourself to your Yoga practice. Thousands gathered in Central Park on June 22nd to practice Yoga (NYTimes 6.27.10); they were rained out after 10 minutes, but the outpouring of current and potential students shows how mainstream Yoga has become.

WOMEN IN THE ARTS

SHAKTI is the Sanscrit word for the active feminine principle and is within each of us. Artists are especially suffused with this energy/power, and I bring this up because I have been blessed to have found an Italian teacher, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, who is tutoring me in Conversational Italian in preparation for my trip to Italy in August. She is an artist. There will be an exhibit of her work at an East Village restaurant, Matilda’s, 647 East 11 St., which opens on Thursday, July 15th, and I will be there with several of my Yoga students. Exhibit continues through September 30th, with a 20% discount on meals with invite on www.CoralinaContemporaryArt.com.

“Seduced, we enter Coralina’s world filled with drama, mysticism and rebirth. As poetry takes shape on canvas, the audience find themselves witnessing an outcry, a call to arms to be fearless and believe.” American Oggi

DOES THE WORD “KEGEL” MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

It was a European Dr. Kegel who developed a series of exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. If you, or someone you know, experience USI, (Urinary Stress Incontinence) when laughing, coughing, sneezing, my FREE 2-HOUR WORKSHOP here in my studio will be helpful. We will discuss the Yogic practice of Bandha Lock, a muscular lock or contraction to control the flow of prana.
