Find Healing this February with these Upcoming Therapeutic Yoga Love Offerings!

 

In Chapter Six of his book The Periodic Table of Spiritual Elements, author Barry John Johnson discusses the Spiritual Element of Equanimity and explains that through quiet and Stillness within, our Divinity becomes known and we gain access to all good stuff that comes with that; we get Heaven on Earth. 

Why would we want this scenario not to happen?  Maybe we avoid it by holding chaos, conflict, drama and the latest gossip because we feel unworthy of our own Divinity at some level. At some point, however, acting (or reacting) in a particular way becomes a choice. 

Equanimity at least gives us an opportunity to see what is occurring within, making our choices known. 

Why choose chaos? To deny the natural bubbling up of Equanimity that comes with a quieted mind is to deny our true nature and the Divine. 

Come, join me for a quiet practice TODAY that will offer you the space to re-establish your connection with this innate quality of your Soul's Divinity.

Sundays, 3:30-4:45pm
150 S 4th Avenue - Tucson Yoga 

 

“Om. With loose flowing tresses, poised with equanimity, with the radiant half moon upon her head, her three eyes are shining like the full moon.” – Durga Puja

We live with the confusion that we believe ourselves to be this body and attached to every thought of this mind, and we feel burdened by the difficulties of the world. 
We forget that, in actuality, we are Divine beings in a Divine world, and that we have a Divine purpose.

Durga is “She Who Removes All Confusion,” or the “Durgam” from our lives. Mother Durga is the Goddess who guides us beyond all confusion to the place of stillness and clarity. There we can perceive Durga’s infinite energy in all aspects of creation.

Come, join Mariah McCammond and myself THIS MONDAY NIGHT for our Full Moon Women's Yoga for Healing offering where we will invoke the Great Mother Goddess for Inner Strength and Protection.

When our bodies are feeling uneasy, they give us messages. The purpose of these messages is to inform us that something inside doesn't feel right and it needs our attention. If these messages go unanswered, over time, they evolve into the symptoms of trauma. The symptoms of trauma can be stable, that is, ever-present. They can also be unstable, meaning that they can come and go and be triggered by stress. Or they can remain hidden for decades and suddenly surface. Usually, symptoms do not occur individually, but come in groups. They often grow increasingly complex over time, becoming less and less connected with the original trauma experience.

Come, join Tiffany for this upcoming therapeutic yoga series that will encourage you to let these symptoms have their natural flow so they can then begin to diminish and resolve. In this practice you will experience trembling, shaking, vibrations, waves of warmth, fullness of breath, slowed heart rate, relaxation of the muscles, and an overall feeling of relief, comfort, and safety. 

 

When everything is comfortable and pleasant, human beings become complacent. It is being under pressure that makes us sit up and think of what has yet to be done to reach our goals. Awareness is not increased one iota unless we are put under pressure. 

Pains in the neck are either self-created or come from others who will not bend to our will. The surrender that we must make in our asana practice is a symbol for the surrender of our Self-will to the Most High. 

As the physical pressure is released, the body comes into balance; similarly, as the ego lets go of the weight that, in it's self-importance, it has imagined, the burden is removed. As convictions and strong opinions allow themselves to be swayed, we realize that there is no up, there is no down. The authority of the Self-will is undermined.

Come, join me in a practice that will allow you to surrender to the inevitable ebb and flow of life. As you let go into a space of stillness, giving your physical body a rest, your mind will be soothed by the accompaniment of sweet string guitar melodies offered up by Rich Rodriguez. 

Both offerings include a meditation,  restorative & gentle yoga, and yoga nidra. Aromatherapy is added to help alleviate the effects of stress, tension, and anxiety. Come, join us for these upcoming therapeutic Yoga Love offerings!

Yoga for Stress & Anxiety: EVERY 2nd Tuesday at Tucson Yoga Studio featuring Live Acoustic Guitar by Rich Rodriguez

Healing Yoga Love TONIGHT! 

 

.::Yoga for Stress & Anxiety::.
featuring Live Acoustic Guitar 
by Local Guitarist Rich Rodriguez 
EVERY 2nd Tuesday, 7-8:30pm
150 S 4th Avenue - Tucson Yoga

"Indeed, the sage who's fully quenched 
Rests as ease in every way;
No sense desire adheres to him 
Whose fires have cooled, deprived of fuel. 

All attachments have been severed, 
The heart's been led away from pain; 
Tranquil he rests with utmost ease. 
The mind has found its way to peace." 

~ The Buddha 
(Cullavagga 6:4.4)

Our sympathetic nervous system and stress related hormones "fire up" to help us pursue opportunities and avoid threats. While there's certainly a place for healthy passion and for strong strands against things that are harmful, most of the time we're just overheated – caught up with some carrot or struggling with some stick. Then we feel driven, rattled, stressed, irritated, anxious, or blue. Definitely not happy. We need to lower the flames. This class will cover many ways to do just that.

Women's Yoga for Healing: New Moon in Capricorn/Winter Solstice - Dhumavati: Crone Goddess of Disappointent & Letting Go

 

Perceived as the Void, as the dissolved form of consciences, when all beings are dissolved in sleep in the in the Supreme Brahman, having swallowed the entire Universe, the seer-poets call her the most glorious and the eldest, Dhumavati, Crone Goddess of Disappointment and Letting Go. She exists in the form of sleep, lack of memory, illusion, and dullness in the creatures immersed in the illusion of the world, but among yogis she becomes the power that destroys all thoughts, indeed (she is) Samadhi itself. 

 

Dhumavati is one of the group of 10 Goddesses known as the Mahavidyas, or Great Wisdoms. They are Goddesses who incarnate different stages on the path of Self-Realization, or states of unfolding consciousness. In the Tantric tradition of the Mahavidyas, Dhumavati represents the void stage which we all must go through on the path of higher awareness. In any creative or growth process, there is a difficult but necessary stage of void. All our efforts have been fruitless. We know there is further to go but we don't know how to get there. 

At such a moment, the only way through is to let go of expectation, hope, and our desire for comfort, money, recognition, or eve spiritual experience. These are the times in life when we come face to face with our inability to control outcomes, when our skills seem to have deserted us. We find ourselves in a state of emptiness and vulnerability, broken open by disappointment or loss or by our own failure to live up to our expectations of ourselves. 

In failure, Dhumavati is our guide. She takes us down into the cave if the soul, and when we follow her, she shows us the spring that bubbles up out of the empty places in the heart. Dhumavati is one of those Shaktis who looks fierce but us actually tender hearted. She's supposed to give her devotees whatever they desire - when we look lovingly into the face of disappointment, we tap into her love and power. 

 

Come, join me in honoring the recently passed Winter Solstice and the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn with this restorative and gentle yoga therapy practice themed on the Goddess Dhumavati; which includes a live music offering by the talented vocalist & harpist Mariah McCammond, journaling, aromatherapy, and yoga nidra to help you in your own releasing process during this auspicious time of year, when it is both End and Beginning.

Candlelit Yin with Tiffany
Sound Healing with Serena Gabriel
Thursday, 1/15/15, 7-8:15pm
at The Sea of Glass
330 E 7th StreetVirtually everything on Earth vibrates. The planet itself vibrates. All matter consists of atomic material which is in constant motion. Motion is manifested in everything within the Universe – nothing is at rest – everything moves, vibrates and circles. This motion generates frequencies, which then generate sound. 
Whether we hear it, everything has a sound, a vibration all its own. The velocity (frequency) of the movement determines the specific sound. 

The Gong is one of man’s oldest therapeutic instruments, and is used in yoga, sound meditation, and vibrational therapy from the distant past to present. 

The Gong is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and as a facilitator to break up emotional blockages. Sound & music are nutrients for the nervous system. The auditory mechanism is a mega-portal to the brain and sonic tools empower health, learning and productivity. 

Due to its nature, the gong resonates all cells of the body simultaneously in a most powerful & effective way. The goal in all healing, meditative, spiritual and transformational pursuits is to raise an individuals’ vibratory frequency, and thereby changing a person’s nature of being, restoring the intrinsic state of balance.

From a sacred geometry viewpoint, a circle – the gong’s basic shape – represents a beginning that has no end. It is ever-expanding potential and represents our connection with the holographic nature of oneness. 

Throughout many traditions and cultures, it also stands as symbol for heaven, totality, perfection, unity, eternity, completeness and for inclusive harmony.

Consider the rippling effect of a pebble on a placid lake… and now picture the ripples of relaxing, meditative, soothing and energizing sound waves to reverberate through your entire body. 

While water is the dominant element of your body (about 60 – 75% and your brain rests in it), it is also an ideal conductor of the gong’s vibrational and transformative energy.

I'm more than excited to announce the debut of my newest sound healing tool for this week's Yin Yoga Love experience!!! 

Please come! Bring your friends, family and yoga lovers!
