December - edges



So much of yoga is about edges. Outside touching inside, breath meeting tissues and mind and feelings, our body meeting the ground and letting go of our habitual shaping, or assumed edges. Lets do it with extraordinary kindness and courage, one wave at a time!

blessings for a safe and connected holiday season

Attuning! November 2013



Studio de La Luz aims to support your health
 in practical and affordable ways

It is Affordable Care... in Action.   What you learn, is YOURS. When you learn skills
for balancing and supporting your amazing  physiology- the orchestra of systems and tissues, chemistry and mind -you are richer and empowered in your Health- and more skilled in healing when something goes off kilter in  your self and others and world.  You know how to rest, how to respond, and in fact- are less likely to "get sick" as your immune system and neurological communication system will be stronger. You will heal faster, and be more inclined to make choices about where you put your energy that are "in your health favor".

Come by, have an affordable bodywork session, and learn skills of movement, sound, and body-mind balancing that make life better. Strengthen your inherent skills of self healing and increase enjoyment of this precious life! 

Blessings!

Indian Summer- "Earth" element






Greetings everyone- wishing you time and space to enjoy the end of summer, and the abundance that nature is providing in fruits, vegetables
 and fresh, cool air. 

Lets be thankful and attune to our Earth, breathing a bit more deeply and slowly, and remembering the simple "pause" that makes all the difference in the quality of our experiences with ourselves, others and our world. Blessings

JUNE

ENJOYING TIME "OFF" aka time "in"

Going with  June- just  the word feels good and easy, but deep. Our physiology shifts alot with the heat- we change, melt, slow and can't force anything. How wonderful.

We are taking a time out - making a few repairs on the old adobe walls- and basically resetting rhythms. So, really it is a time IN.  Working on structures and containers.

Classes and Community Hands on Clinic will resume- around the end of June early July.
