Lulu Yoga

Coming Soon to lulu❁yoga!

As we welcome September here at lulu ❁ yoga, we are thrilled to celebrate ten amazing years in community! To mark this exciting occasion, I have some exciting news to share with you all: Beginning in October (the 5th, to be exact), we will add an evening class to our weekly schedule! This class will meet every Wednesday evening from 5:15 to 6:15 in the Chapel at Bay Shore Church.

But that's not all! The most thrilling news of all is that our long-time sub, Ellie Clarke, will be teaching on a regular basis! She will be leading the new Wednesday class and also taking the reins of the Thursday morning class. I am confident that Ellie's knowledge and warmth will only add to this already lovely community!

This September, lulu ❁ yoga will celebrate 10 years of strengthening and stretching our bodies and minds! I am beyond grateful for the support of this amazing community, and I feel so honored to walk through the doors of our little chapel of yoga and see your lovely faces on a regular basis. We've weathered changes together and experienced growth as a community, and there are more exciting things to come as lulu embarks upon the next ten years of moving and grooving together!

This week at lulu ❁ yoga we continue our series exploring the niyamas, or observances for a life of health in body, mind, and spirit. Like the yamas, there are five niyamas, each of which encourages the cultivation of positive practices for daily living.

My faith in humans is shattered. Shattered because there was a person on this earth who was capable of such unspeakable horror - gunning down innocent children for sport. But that act is not what horrifies me the most. What crushes me and sickens me and enrages me even more is that our representatives in government won't do anything to change this ongoing pattern of gross violence. I have wept and screamed and raged about this tragedy and it is not the first time. And it is unbelievably, not going to be the last time. Gun violence is our country's unique problem. Our unique shame. And we all must bear that shame, because it is the people that we elect to office who flat out refuse to do anything about it.

I am determined to both take action and demand action. If you can donate to a cause that will create change, please join me in doing so - Sandy Hook Promise, Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action. If you can reach out to those government officials who are bending to the political power of the NRA, and demand that they pass legislation around guns and gun ownership, please join me in doing so. Please don't stop being outraged by this problem.

I can no longer hope for something to be done. I can no longer have faith that our representatives in government will realize laws must change. I must SPEAK the words. I must DO the work. And so must we all. Action is our only option. Action is our only comfort.

I'm sorry to be gone two weeks in a row, and I am already looking forward to seeing you again the week of June 6th. Stay well, dear friends!

This week at lulu ❁ yoga we continue our series exploring the Yamas, or guidelines for the Self in the practice of yoga. There are five Yamas, each of which introduces a specific virtue that helps us to cultivate deeper connections in our journey through life.

The third of the five Yamas is Asteya. Asteya means "non-stealing". It is the idea that we restrain from taking that which is not freely given. While on the surface, this Yama seems quite simple, there are many applications of Asteya. In a physical sense, we would not steal some item that does not belong to us. In an energetic sense, we would not rob someone of their experience by telling them how to feel. In a social sense, we would not remove (or support the removal of) basic rights from our fellow citizens. Take a look below to see our schedule of classes, and come deepen your understanding of your yoga practice this week at lulu ❁ yoga!
