Synergy of Yoga and Clay

Centering is a constant balancing of form, space, and process. Yoga and pottery help me with centering my life and soul’s purpose. Both incorporate a blend of science, art, and philosophy. There are methodologies and techniques to learn and constantly practice. There are similar concepts in centering and alignment of form and fine-tuning and adjusting, observing and correcting in real-time as we move toward a final holding “shape” whether it be on the potter’s wheel, the “yoga mat” or on the highway of life.

Yogic Love From Within

Honoring and witnessing transitions is an ancient Vedic practice and it provides a strong baseline to return to when the waves of life begin to churn, rise and fall and settle. We can work with the yogic arts in truly cultivating awareness on and off the mat in our thoughts, actions and reactions by starting with self –care, self-love from little transitions and grow it outward from there. Join Dani in this sensory morning meditation practice.

The Summertime PAUSE

Have you felt the heat and created some simple rituals to help you slow down and shift the way you feel and go about your day-to-day in the summertime? I have. I try to conjure up the feelings of endlessness of summer days like when I was a kid lying on the beach towel looking at the clouds floating by trying to pass time it during adult swim at the town swim club.
