Greetings and July Salutations!

I hope this finds all of you enjoying the beauty of summer and the joy of each moment.

With the help of Maggie Duval we’ve combined our web sites to make it easier to find YogaNow studio info and easier to find Vital Yoga: A Sourcebook for Students and Teachers.  And even more importantly, we can update these pages ourselves, so hopefully you can count on the web site being current.  Please please add your comments with questions, suggestions, your own inspirations.

To kick off the new site and Jump into July, we’re offering a free copy of Vital Yoga with a purchase of a twenty class bundle for the month of July.  If you already have the book you can either give it as a gift yourself or for shipping and handling of $7, we’ll send it for you.

I’ve been experiencing the delight of travel and if you’ve been reading the blogs and vlogs (okay that’s a video blog if you didn’t know which I didn’t until Mags clued me in)  you know it’s been fun and rewarding – two awards for Vital Yoga and meeting amazing authors.

While in NYC stopped by the Apollo Theatre in Harlem for a great night. What spirit, both in the audience and on the stage.

More recently I’ve just returned from Denver where I attended a trade show and had the pleasure of hearing Joan Borysenko, MD and Julie Cameron speak in addition to meeting many sincere and inspired souls.

Doing all this sitting while driving, flying, waiting, and of course at the computer reminded me of the special care we need for our bodies for traveling. I have a video blog (vblog) showing some simple and effective poses for helping with potential back pain, including lengthening the psoas, see page 124 of Vital Yoga for more about anatomy and poses.

In addition to our physical form we can help shift travel induced anxiety, stress, nervousness, lack of grounding, by chanting a simple mantra, which I chant for you at the end of the vlog and here are the words, should you like to use this vibrational mood shifter:

Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha

You may want to ‘charge’ your vibration by chanting this in the morning or at night 108 times and then when you feel out of sorts, just chant this as you need, to yourself or out loud.

May we all receive the great blessings of the cosmos and open our eyes in gratitude,

Namaste,

Meta.
