Om,
It was a wonderful trip to PA and the Institute.  I learned, rested, and strengthened my body, mind and soul.  I feel clearer and cleaner and healther than before I left and hope to bring some of that feeling back to you. 
It's difficult to put it into words so I do best to share with you in person in class.  Let me try and write a few concepts I learned.  I'm always talking about no increased pain as you do yoga, but Shari Freidrickson's class emphasised receiving a pose instead of doing it.  While this may sound funny out of context, it is all about releasing into each pose.  Feeling more, having more awareness, accepting your body and its limitation, weaknesses, and oddities.  It's about letting your faith guide you and trustfully surrendering into that faith. It's about letting go.
I hope to bring you closer to an understanding in class.
In love and surrender,
Andrea

After so many years I finally have a website up and running.  Thanks to all those who have given me feedback for improvements.
I'm headed up to the Himalayian Institute for training the weekend of the 16th. I look forward to the focus and time to deepen my practice.  I'll bring back some new energy and excitment for classes so be sure to be there the week of the 19th.  Until then, love and light to you.  Peace,
andrea
