Divide and Conquer Your Consciousness, a workshop with Paula Heitzner happens this Saturday, 11/08, 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM at Club Fit, 584 N State Road, Briarcliff Manor, NY.

The title of this workshop—Divide and Conquer Your Consciousness—was sparked by Paula's thoughts of how to bring the simpler and clearer aspects of the past into being a stabilizing factor, here and now. The wisdom of the past is inherent in yoga’s teachings and offers so many experiential opportunities to help us move forward toward a goal in any journey we undertake. Learn more or register:

Recommended props:Whatever you use for your regular practice—blocks, strap, blanket. Club Fit has limited props and no blankets, so please bring your own if you have them.

Leave the leaves! Please.

Keeping leaves in your yard can bolster the number and variety of species around — and the perks go beyond just the fall season.

Thank you Bonnie Kaplan for this beautiful note about the Yoga Study Circle!

"Over the years, when we were climbing up the steps to the Birchwood Yoga Center or during the recent pandemic, when we clicked into a zoom class, Betsy and Charlene were always taking us way beyond an exercise class, unveiling more and more about the study of yoga in daily sessions and in special events.

Now, in a series of 4 Yoga Study Circle sessions we are invited to sit together in Betsy and Charlene’s living room and delve deeper into the study of yoga. During the first session on September 25th Betsy led us through meditation and a deep conversation inspired by yoga teachings, so relevant to the issues in our current lives. It’s a pleasure to sit with fellow yogis and share our ideas in such a safe place. I can’t wait for our next session, next Thursday night!"

The next class is coming up next Thursday, 10/16, 6-7:30, in-person and on Zoom! Check it out: https://www.shamaniyoga.com/schedule/d8f53736-7aa3-4b8b-9d95-f57e15c29a5a_1760652000

In yoga class we learn to modify postures according to our physical limitations and needs, but long-time yogis also learn to adjust the practice as our bodies and circumstances change over time. For best results, yoga suggests we be honest and kind to ourselves, and to practice as who we are now, not who we were or could be. In yoga and in life these are such valuable lessons!

We invite you to join us, exploring this evolutionary practice with gratitude and acceptance, feeling free to be who you are, right now. See you in class!

Take a Break! Turn Off the News and Come to Yoga Class.
Surely we can all use a break from the current political drama gripping our country and the world. As yogis we know that consistent practice builds strength and endurance, helps to quiet the mind and reframe anxious thoughts, so we urge you, come to yoga! Another beautiful benefit of coming to class is the community that gathers before and after to connect and support each other with loving kindness and compassion. So take a break. Step out of the chaos and into yoga. Visit www.shamaniyoga.com

In politics, distraction is used as a manipulation, a strategy for creating confusion or hiding the truth. Distraction has gotten a bad rap but we say, let's all get distracted! Come to class and let yoga dis-attract you from the newsfeed, from your everyday irritations and problems, and from that underlying current of anxiety that's in the air. Let's get distracted by slowing down the breath, quieting the mind, moving our bodies, and (temporarily) letting go of the outside world. Come to yoga for distraction and to feel what is real and true. We hope to see you soon. Om Shantih

Our mission at Shamani Yoga is to help you create tranquility in your body and mind through asana, meditation, breath, self-awareness, and connection to community. We hope to see you in class soon.
