This month we're continuing to offer two classes each week at the Lotus Yoga studio in Astoria. Elia is facilitating the Explorations class on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:15 p.m. and Lisa is facilitating the Sanctuary class on Sundays from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
The holidays tend to be hectic times and so perhaps it's even more important now than at any other time of the year to pause and give thanks for all you are and all you have in your life. Dance provides us opportunities to reflect and also to rest. Movement of the body often brings stillness to the mind. And stillness of the mind...that's an exquisite gift only you can give yourself this holiday season.
We invite you to join us this month as we explore contact improv on Wednesdays and "Reasons for the Season" on Sundays.
Wednesday classes are December 16, 23 and 30.
Sunday classes are December 13, 20 and 27.
There are many reasons we celebrate this time of year with special events, family gatherings and holiday festivities. I chose four reasons for us to dance in celebration with this month. Last Sunday we danced JOY. This Sunday we'll dance LOVE. The following Sunday we'll dance PEACE and the last Sunday of the month we'll dance GRATITUDE.
Speaking of gratitude...Elia and I are ever-so grateful for all of you who continue to make dance a part of your life and have supported our efforts to create and sustain a dancing community along the north coast. We wish you and your loved ones a beautiful and blessed holiday season!
I LOVE this picture!
