| NAMASTE |
| At the end of
most yoga classes, we say Namaste. However, what does it mean exactly?
IN SHORT, it is a way of “PEACE”. Or, “I recognize
the pure good that you are.” IN LONG, it is often defined as:
“I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides,
I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I
honor the place within you, where if you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.” back

| ONE
OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS IS |
| Moving Into
Stillness by Erich Schiffman I've studied with Erich many times. He
is one of my main teachers. He offers amazing ideas about how yoga
transforms your body and your life. And, what to do when you start
to feel this “change” happen. You can buy it at Amazon.com,
Barnes and Nobel, East West books in NY. back

| VIDEOS
YOU MAY WANT TO TRY |
| I recommend
YOGA JOURNALS PRACTICE FOR STRENGTH WITH RODNEY YEE. It’s a good
compliment to poses learned in class. It is about a level 2. He covers
alignment well and builds a nice vinyasa flow to get the heat going.
In addition, there are two separate 30-minute routines that you can
practice individually. What I like about a shorter and more intense
practice is that is will help make it easier for you to commit to
a daily yoga practice. There is no reason why you should feel that
you HAVE TO DO an hour or more. 20-30 minutes daily, or at least 3
times a week, will bring profound benefits to your body and life.
You can buy the video on Amazon.com or probably at Sam Goody. back

site at: www.krishnadas.com

RECOMMENDATIONS |
| Thank you to
Thamara for sending in this recommendation: “I just finished
reading Conscious Evolution by Barbara Marx Hubbard, and Healing the
Soul of American by Marianne Williamson. Both are fantastic, inspiring
accounts of what is good in our culture and what needs to change.
And how we as individuals can make a difference. So many people feel
that there is nothing they can do as one individual to make a difference
and these books both argue strongly that there is much we can do.”

COMING WORKSHOP April 29 & 30 |
| John Friend
is a Master Yogi who teaches around the world. His workshops and classes
are often sold out and very difficult to get in to. I've studied with
John Friend a few times and found his alignment techniques to be incredibly
helpful in my asana practice and his attitude and approach to be inspirational.
John has a handful of senior teachers who are certified to train people
in his style of yoga called Anusara Yoga. (Yoga of grace) Kathleen
Hogan is one of those select few. She will be teaching a Workshop
