In Memory:  Mary Dunn, of New York left her body September 4. She was the nicest Iyengar teacher I have ever met, and knowledgeable! Her mother brought Mr. Iyengar to the U.S. for the first time, introducing him in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She will be missed.

Namasté,

The studio is saying goodbye to two teachers this fall: Helen Kimmel, who leaves to pursue teaching yoga to children and seniors in institutional settings, and Suneel Sundar, who is getting married and returning to his home state of California to teach yoga.  Both Helen and Suneel brought so much to Syoga. I am very sad to see them go. On the other hand, they are moving forward with their dreams and lives and I support that fully.  So, thank you both for being part of Syoga and our lives.

Other changes include a refocusing on the internal state of being. As the trees and animals go inward this time of year, so do yogis. There will be several special workshops to support your inward journeys throughout the fall and winter sessions.

Again and again, life comes back to letting go. For me, it is the realization that one can control nothing except oneself. And that is enough. When you are correct, the universe responds and the flow is reestablished. When one is correct in body, mind and psyche the flow is constant and the change is always.

“Flow like pure water through difficult situations.”
- I-Ching

When one becomes emotionally ambitious, clinging to comfort and the desire to be free of the currents of change in life, the Creative is blocked from resolving difficulties in our favor. Accepting change, remaining true to yourself, having innocent mind and sincere intentions will allow the peace and equanimity of the universe to manifest.


Happy Fall Changes!!
