Yes to Yoga by Kizzy

By a young Grenadian activist Kizzy on her blog:

 

So, I've always been a believer in the powers of Yoga.
Only thing holding me back right now is my lack of financing, but I've found a way around it Spice Harmony Yoga is offering free classes in the park every Thursday for the month of June, best believe I'm on it like white on rice.

Failed my sticks test for the 2nd time, but I'm not even mad. Going to give it a break and pick back up when I return from Barbados. Although I'm tempted to try one more time before I leave. Who knows I'll see what works out. Until then check out pics from last week's Yoga class.

Thoughts on Yoga & Healing by Diasporadawta

 Came across this today by diasporadawta on her blog on tumblr.com:

“the body locks our traumas inside and archives them for future discovery and, hopefully, healing. each trauma needs to be unraveled and eased, the scars opened, massaged, and broken down. the body can become like a tree that’s root-bound and dying; the roots need to be very gently pulled apart, not just hacked off. that’s the healing role of yoga” - ana forrest

My Sacral Chakra  work is still in progress. It’s been quiet the journey… endings and beginnings, fits and starts, but overall good for the soul. I’m learning a lot about myself and the process of being present. I’ve made some positive changes: whether at home or in the studio Yoga has become a daily practice and I’m writing a little bit more frequently, which feels really good.
I was a little overwhelmed with what I perceived as constant negative occurrences throughout this practice but I realized that there were kinks, roots, issues that needed to be worked out and no one said it was going to be a cake walk.
As Toni Morrison’s character Amy said about Sethe’s feet in Beloved “Anything dead coming back to life hurts.” Sometimes it’s necessary to revisit pain stories from your past in order to really let it all go.

Complimentary Introductory Yoga Class for Fathers

There were 5 fathers in attendance at our Introductory Yoga Class on Saturday the 18th of June. We decided to have this class in  honor of Father's Day. Most of the Dad's had never done yoga before, so it was exciting for them. I taught the first half of the class instructing them in Purna Yoga  warm ups  including the morning series. They were ready for Malaika, who lead them through several Vinyasa Flow sequences including Sun Salutation. We  hope to see all of them back in classes at Spice Harmony soon.
Namaste,
Kecia

Women's Health & Father's Day

We are so excited about tomorrow! We have a packed Women's Health workshop....I am not so sure about the Free Father's Day Class... I got a lot of not so convincing maybes and yeses from the dad's I asked. My father is supposed to be rallying his friends...Let's see what happens. Because surely dad's need yoga too.


Namaste

This was nothing short of amazing. Kyle, our guest instructor, and myself (Malaika) taught a beautiful class under a clear evening sky. The temperature was perfect...it was a flawless way to end the day. After the class most of the students joined us for a dip to cool off...so we caught the sunset in the water.
