nilambu notes Vol. 3 Issue 2
Happy month of love! Love your loved ones and keep them close. A good yoga practice opens your heart and increases awareness not just of your body but of your relationships. Yoga means unity - unity of your mind, body and spirit. But also unity of the heart - which includes mending all those holes and gaps with those for whom you care and who care for you.
The tender parts of our love and hearts can be delicate, raw and sensitive, and this can be scary. This time of year presents an opportunity to reach out to those you love. So send out a few Valentines. Mail, email or simply call those you love - a friend, a relative or a sweetheart, maybe even a sweetheart to be. Don't be afraid. Expect nothing in return. And share your love.
Next week, nilambu classes will focus on the heart in honor of Valentines Day! Thank you for your interest in yoga. Love - Cassandra

Class Schedule Modifications Last week my mother was diagnosed with cancer, so I will be commuting out of DC from Friday to Tuesday to be with her. Her prognosis is not yet known, but we're all optimistic she'll pull through. Her cancer is not advanced, but her otherwise poor health presents some challenges in her treatment. Please keep her in your prayers.
This will affect nilambu's class schedule. Wednesday night classes will continue as scheduled and now will not shift on March 1st on the beginning of Lent to Mondays, as previously discussed. Thursday day and Thursday night classes remain unchanged. Saturday class is temporarily suspended until further notice. See link below for a summary of class offerings.
I am available for private sessions three days a week and would love to help you focus your practice according to your needs. Or consider giving a loved one who lives in DC a very special Valentines Day gift of a private nilambu yoga session. I am offering a holiday rate of $60.00 (normally $80.00) until February 18th. Just email me to inquire.

Great Information on Balance I met Roger Cole during my restorative training session. He is very knowledgeable and presents information clearly. Yoga Journal features his terrific article on balance, called Plumb Perfect. I highly recommend the piece.

Poor Bones, for now called Nemo Okay, here's the official solicitation of nominations to name our helpful new class aid - the skeleton of human bones. Be creative. The name does not have to be a human name. Let's see if any one has any ideas. Anyone? Anyone?
Consider names from Western classical literature or mythology or from Eastern classical literature or mythology. Either male or female names can be submitted (I have no idea if the number of ribs indicates this thing is male or female). Or offer a word that is not usually a name. If I get enough good suggestions, I'll conduct further voting.
For now, we'll just refer to the bones as Nemo, Latin for "no name." Yes, Masterpiece Theatre's Bleak House has an incognito character named Nemo, but my cousins had a dog named Nemo, too. It'll do for now.
Thanks to Riki Alexander who facilitated this acquisition. You don't have to be a client to suggest a name. Email notes at the address below. Thanks! |
Featured Web Site : Dharma Craft I love this catalogue and web site. They are now featuring gifts of "loving kindness" for Valentines Day. I also recommend subscribing to their newsletter, In the Moment. Finally, they have some Buddhist teaching on how to meditate which are helpful.
