September News (web copy of newsletter)
Dear Friends,
A cool breeze is blowing through my window as I write, giving a foretaste of glorious fall weather to come.
Although already fully immersed in the throes of work after last week’s study trip to Oregon with John Friend, I am brimming from the teachings and comraderie. Such a trip reminds me of how crucial it is to study and connect to help bring the benefits of yoga off the mat and into my daily life.
This week is free class week at Willow Street Yoga. It is a great way to try out new classes or teachers or to bring friend who is been shy about starting or returning to yoga. I’ll be teaching both my 8:30am Level II and my noon Gentle and Therapeutics classes this Saturday, September 12th. Bring a friend and come check it out.
Looking for an extra class or one great to bring a drop in friend? Come join us for the Tuesday night class at William Penn House. All levels of practitioners welcome. Special prices for public interest workers, students, and seniors.
Wednesday night advanced/intermediate group practice proceeds are still 100% for charity. This month’s cause is “Yoga Salutes Non-violence” a yoga sun-salute practice that raises money for local domestic violence shelters. For more information, check out my friend Cheryl’s website at: http://www.heartofgraceyoga.com/YSNV.php
Upcoming Workshops: Next Saturday, September 19th is the next Serenity Saturday at Capitol Hill Yoga. Get ready for the shift into Fall with a sweet afternoon of deep relaxation and nurture. Can’t make it this month? Put October 17th and November 21st into your calendar for a great way to ease through Fall. To register, please go to: www.capitolhillyoga.com
Looking Ahead: Already trying to make your Thanksgiving plans? If you will be in town, plan to share your gratitude at the 7th Annual Thanksgiving Day fundraiser for Oxfam, which I will be leading at the Willow Street Yoga Center’s Takoma Park studio.

Peace and light,
Elizabeth

“Please wait just a moment,” I asked my friend as we were heading home after a morning at the museums and a delicious lunch out.
“What,” he asked, “another heart cloud?”
I did not need to answer; he could just look at where the camera was pointed.

Mahashivratri
On this mahashivratri , the darkest moon of winter, the night to delve into our dreams, into the rhythms of the wild dance of existence, experiencing the fullest emptiness . On this night, too, the goddess Uma (aka Parvati) incarnate as feline WHO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE BED appears to have been reunited with Siva Nataraja.
