Rain or Shine Yoga

Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead

Experience the Journey. Embrace the Mystery. Come Rain or Shine.

Hallo und Guten Tag. Thanks for visiting my website. I no longer teach in VA, as I am now overseas.
If you live in Germany, close to Kaiserslautern/Ramstein, and are interested in
Private Hatha Yoga lessons, I am currently offering:
Basic Hatha Yoga (from Intro to Advanced)
Pre and Post Natal Yoga
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga ( Intro to 1st series, or entire series)
or a space to practice "Mysore" style (self practice) along with me. (Very early in the morning ~ 4:30am-6:00am, or afternoons, evenings).
I can also teach small groups of ~ 5 in my home.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch? I will gladly accept Deutsch lessons in exchange for Yoga lessons. Sessions are held in my home unless otherwise specified.
Go to the (yoga) mat, rain or shine. *
*Ah yes....... it's the getting to the mat through miles and miles of mental snow and rainstorm after rainstorm....... Just how do I get myself there you may ask? Enough to alter my brain chemistry, creating new neuron networks so that it'll be as natural for me to do as it is to get out of bed in the morning? (Okay, maybe those are just my questions....)
THROW yourself, PRY yourself....stumble there, tumble there, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE there, just get there...and when you do, perhaps you'll feel as I do (after I finally get there) and say to yourself "Welcome home" or "Willkommen zu Hause". I can't believe I ever left.

Yoga is almost everywhere now. This is a good thing, it's irrevocably stupendous, to say the least. Some people tell me they are intimidated to try yoga. I understand that feeling, but I say GIVE IT A SHOT AND SHOW UP! It's really worth it. If you don't like one style, try another. It's like fruit. If we don't like one kind, do we stop there? Everyone is on their own journey, just as you. And with great effort comes great benefit. On my website I briefly describe Ashtanga yoga, my personal favorite. You can also read much more about it at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute website and at www.Ashtanga.com.

Ancient yogic wisdom reveals that if one approaches their yoga practice with dedication, zeal, and consistancy over a long period of time, the true essence of yoga unfolds and we can indeed, to quote Pattabhi Jois, "attain physical, mental and spiritual happiness." This road is nevertheless bumpy. It's one long, bumpy ride. Those bumps and ditches are there. It's how we go through them that make a difference. Do we plow through them and damage the machinery? Maybe, sometimes. Hopefully we slow down next time, take it easier on ourselves. One focused breath, a few attentive moments in our practice. But stay on the road, or keep coming back, because after the rain, the sun will shine. And then, it will rain again...... Right now is right now, rain or shine.

Deine Intuition weiß alles.

STRETCH for the TRUTH, come RAIN or come SHINE

"The Truth upholds the fragrant Earth and makes the living water wet. Truth makes fire burn and the air move, makes the sun shine and all life grow. A hidden truth supports everything. Find it and win." - Ramayana
