'Riding the Wave' with Guest Teacher Sama Fabian

Hello Friends.

This June we are having a wonderful teacher, travelling all the way from London, England, to share in the little yellow room:)  Sama Fabian is her name, perhaps some of you remember her from a few years back when she was here for a single day workshop?  Sama is a student of Dona Holleman who teaches from her own internal voice, exuding a strong passion for the feminine and a curiosity of the creative energies inside of each of us.  Check out her website - http://www.aurolabyoga.net/about/sama-fabian/

We wanted to send you each a little more information about the workshop, with the intention to help spread the word and share this beautiful and inspiring opportunity around the community.  A few weeks ago, I attended the 30th anniversary Women's Centre Gala where renowned speakers gifted the Squamish community with energizing words of hope and motivations to action towards a place of equal opportunity for all in this world.  From the brief time we have spent with Sama, she has an internal voice and a deep passion for igniting this fire in the lives of women and men through the path of yoga.  And, her life experience gifts us with the wisdom of years, something i am increasingly grateful for in this life:)

Workshop Dates: Saturday & Sunday June 23rd & 24th

Times: 8:30-12 and 1:30-4 pm both days.

Through a thorough exploration of breath and gesture, we move from external pre-occupations to a more internal landscape from where we can increase sensitivity, fluidity, strength and stability. These qualities evolve from an understanding of the elements of fire, wind, water and earth and a deep connection to spirit. 

Full weekend Price - $175

So, consider joining us for a weekend of movement, breathe and spaciousness or share this with anyone you think might be interested.  

Opening our hearts together in this community and diving into the deep questions which ultimately lead to the possibilities of growth and change in this world.

As I type, warm buds of spring emerge,
soft spring rain is falling and hands all over town are dirty from
garden love.

lightness and ease.

in the yellow room, so please keep checking in on our website if you

Our summer schedule will be up sometime in early june.  A gentle
reminder that as of May 1st we will no longer be accepting debit and
credit as a form of payment.  Cash and cheque only.  We apologize for
any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.  In
reflecting on 3 years of business, these little changes will allow our
small business to continue to be sustainable...which makes us smile:)

poem - Magic Words (anonymous native poet)

In the very earliest time, when both people and animals lived on
earth,
a person could become an animal if he wanted to
and an animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people and sometimes animals and there was no
difference.
All spoke the same language.
That was the time when words were like magic.
The human mind had mysterious powers.
A word spoken by chance might have strange consequences.
It would suddenly come alive and what people wanted to happen could
happen -
all you had to do was say it.
Nobody could explain this: that's just the way it was.

Happy mother's day on the 13th to all the mothers of our community,
thanks for your creations,
Love and warmth from
The Yoga Studio Team.

"More delicious anyways,
is to remember my grandmother's pleasure when the dissolve of winter
began to rise,
and to create their many hearts.

One would say she was a simple woman,
made happy by simple things.
I think this was true.
And more than once,
in my long life,
I have wished to be her."

Mary Oliver

Tenderly.

"WE ALREADY HAVE everything we need.
There is no need for self-improvement.
All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that
we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly
cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds—never
touch our basic wealth.
They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time
our warmth and brilliance are right here."
Pema Chodron

So much love
