Need Balance?

/in /by

This was my first yoga business card. Need Balance?  I am continually exploring ways to find balance owning a yoga business with the life of a house holder. Although work can occupy my mind at all hours of the day, I am so grateful to have found my Dharma , my life’s purpose. According to the Vedas, there are 4 aims in life.

1. Artha – Needs of safety and security being met.

2. Kama – Pleasure – The right to have a pleasure filled life.

3. Dharma – Aim to fulfill  our life’s purpose.

4.  Moksha – Often translated as liberation , how about freedom from the constraints of your habits.

To be able to share the insights of yoga has been such a pleasure.  To see people wake up to their dharma and living a pleasure filled life has been an incredible gift.  May we continue to grow, play and laugh together on this journey.  You are so lucky to have found the practice.  Now, what will you do today that will bring you pleasure?

Website Launch!

yoga-haven-facebook-profileLaunch! Welcome to Yoga Haven. I am so excited for this new design.  The lotus is often used to represent the journey of yoga.  I have a card from the 6 day retreat at UBC with Thich Nhat Hanh I attended in August of 2011, it reads, in his caligraphy, “No mud, no lotus”.  On retreat he toured us through his calligraphy display and we had a chance to watch him make his art. What a treat to learn, watch and live with him and the other monastics for almost a week.. Retreats have been an important part in my  journey of reflection and growth.  I hope this website can be a virtual retreat for you. This is where you will find the latest and greatest happenings at the studio and here online. I love the idea of an interactive way to stay connected and motivated in our yoga journey.  This practice is about support. I wanted to create a website that offers you resources for a happy, healthy,  rockin life. I will be posting on yoga philosophy, workshops and upcoming events, home practice, tips for meditation and healthy lifestyle, ayurveda, books, music and photos that inspire us. Evolve your yoga! Connect back to this page often to check out some yoga chat and upcoming events at Yoga Haven.
