Start the new year fresh with #LYFEYoga’s founder and teacher Michael Ruccolo's Transitioning Through Change class on New Year’s Day, Friday, January 1, 9-10:30 AM. Transitioning between asanas (poses) in a yoga class is one way that our yoga practice helps us manage the shifts in our daily lives. This class will help students focus on getting into and out of yoga poses, and assist one with becoming aware of their own behavioral patterns through holding asanas to balance... out the highs and lows in life. From this new perspective, we are able to stay in a prolonged state of quietness and joy a perfect steadiness to take into the new year. Please note that our classes overall arching theme is transitioning through change. With Michael’s refined teaching during each class, the focus can veer on and off course when dealing with different students’ energies, but will always circle back to the classes’ overarching theme.

Our Next Steps: "Over the last few weeks, I have received numerous messages from members of our community asking about our reopening. From these limited conversations it occurred to me that underlying this drive to reopen is a deep sense of loss, one we are all collectively experiencing, perhaps without even realizing it. As human beings, even while gripped in the throes of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, we have the extraordinary ability, and unique opportunity, to reframe this conversation."

"The work within ourselves is ours to own and unpack. It’s hard as hell, but necessary for the world we’re trying to build for our living and future ancestors." Repost from @kkellyyoga reposting @seedingsovereignty This is Yoga. Humility and willingness to grow.... Diligent practice. Discernment, not reactive defensiveness, judgement or attachment. Svadhyaya. Abhyasa and vairagya. #yogaforsocialchange See more

In our practice on and off the mat, can we challenge ourselves to see within and without, not only that which we expect or prefer to see, but also that which in its stark and sometimes surprising reality is what breaks the pattern and sheds light on many dimensions of beauty within ourselves and others, AND then inhabit or engage that beauty with full awareness.

Every journey starts with a single step, and is pursued one step at a time. Anti-racism is as much about our internal work within ourselves as much as the work we do in engaging the world around us. Polish that mirror!
