Salutations For Our Sun

I love doing anything to enjoy the Sun, it feeds my Soul and where I think “Solar” derived from originally. Without it’s heat, our earth freezes, without it’s light eventually we perish physically, and decline emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Remember how we all felt this winter with El Nino weather patterns and the lack of sunshine? Surya Namaskar helps us ignite our Solar Plexus, rain or shine!  Yoga Sun Breaths and Sun Salutations, Surya (Sun) Namaskar (salute or greeting) are

All This Talk About Love

“Follow your heart but take your brain with you”, by Austrian psychotherapist, Alfred Adler makes sense. Check in with logic and wisdom yet allow ourselves to be vulnerable and reactive with feelings and intuition. A life without love because we live in too much caution and fear lacks luster. I chose this quote for our well known holiday this week, Valentine’s Day. Originally based on Saint Valentine with legends of feasts

Karma & The Golden Rule

 One of my private yoga students, Alan and I meet at least twice a week for over 5 years. We ponder and share various thoughts as part of our Satsang, sacred gathering during yoga practice. Without debate we contemplate many subjects with just simple straight up talk and respectful listening. We recently reflected on our own beliefs of higher consciousness and what divine forces try to teach us, and what

Read, Restore, Reflect

Svadhyaya in Sanskrit means Self-study. It is one of our Niyamas, behaviors we observe and strive to adopt into our lives as good practice for personal growth and a better way to live. When we explore with open minds through resources available to us, like books or knowledge and wisdom shared by others, then reflect on what it means to us, it’s a form of self-study.  When we fuse learning with pranayama/breath control, asana/yoga postures,

Align & Connect

Alignment and Connection have varied meanings at Fusion to find higher levels of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual harmony. We teach as guides to practice as the ancient seer advised in Patanjali’s 8 Limbed Path of Yoga (listed in italics after each practice). Physical Alignment, like when we control our breath (pranayama) and body with our muscles engaged, line up our feet, hips, arms, hands, head, our spine, and so on

Mindful Moments of Movement

As I teach this week, we move as described, to be sturdy like the oak tree yet flexible like bamboo.More Yoga Body Basics, “Move” is our 2nd power word in our Fusion mantra, Breathe. Move. Connect. Yoga moves are much more than just getting from one posture to the next. It’s about safely maximizing movement with ease, focus and purpose after a breath is initiated, going deeper if it feels appropriate for the challenge. Never

Back to Basics of Breath

Let’s get Back to Basics of Breath. The most beneficial and under utilized tools for a yoga practice is Pranayama, breath control. It is one of Patanjail’s (ancient seer) 8 Limbed Path to Yoga.  Our Fusion Mantra is Breathe. Move. Connect. as a reminder that breath must lead the movement, not the other way around. I often remind students, “without breath, there is no life. It’s the first thing we do

What’s a Love Gift?

Wonderful heart-warming gifts from our students, Rosemarie and Laurie with a variety of items reflecting what I love in life. They included beautiful personal notes and of course, a hug. Gift Giving & Receiving is one of the most misunderstood of the 5 Love Languages, often thought of as materialistic. But, when a gift is given with intention to demonstrate love, it can be a tangible way to show love
