You Like to Experience Delight?
Teaching Anusara-Inspired yoga is a great honour for me. I have completed Todd Norian’s Anusara Teacher Training, and over 550 hours of Teacher Training, Philosophy, Therapeutics, and workshops with John Friend. My intention is to help my students experience the delight of embracing life fully and empower them to experience their own highest nature. As for my personal life, I am a professional flutist, mother of two beautiful daughters and wife of a wild Masked Man from New Orleans. I started playing the flute as a teenager and enjoyed a wonderful career as a flutist and teacher. I spent several years practicing Tae Kwon Do but after breaking my nose twice and being knocked out, I decided I needed to find something gentler. I was thirty-nine when I was attracted to the power of Ashtanga yoga and spent seven happy, challenging years setting the foundation of my practice and completed a two-year yoga teacher training. Painful knee injuries led me on a yoga voyage of discovery. I realized that what was missing from my yoga practice was a conscious spiritual practice. One day in desperation I asked the Universe to send me a teacher of the heart for my yoga practice. I knew intuitively that opening my heart would heal my knees. The Universe answered loud and clear and I found Anusara yoga, founded by my teacher John Friend. Life is humbling and still challenges me to grow in ways I never thought possible. Anusara yoga has given me a way to embrace all of myself, my strengths and gifts, and my limitations and imperfections. On my mat I experience the joy of being in my body and the ecstasy of connecting all parts of myself to my highest intention. Life is a dance so I trip over my feet, and sometimes I forget the steps, but the music is so compelling, my soul yearns to dance, so I get on the floor and boogie-woogie. ~ Louise Hanly
More Musings on Water I love to research! Drinking water, filtration systems, food and nutrition - there are so many products out on the market and everyone wants you to buy their product. Their stats only support what they want you to believe, so you will buy, buy, buy! I found these sites to be scientific and neutral with their approach. I hope you enjoy the info as much as I do! The following links were very impressive to me. Happy surfing! Structured Water Pseudoscience and Quackery How to Stay Young and Beautiful - Water and Skin ~ Cynthia |

Enjoy
mingling and savouring some delicious food with your fellow
students and teachers at our second annual potluck. Bring your
favourite dish to share along with the recipe and we will post
it in our January newsletter (please let everyone know if the
recipe contains peanuts or shellfish).
Anusara
yoga is a style of Hatha yoga that combines an uplifting Tantric
philosophy with elegant and powerful biomechanical principles
of alignment. In the Tantric philosophy the world is danced
into existence out of the Supreme’s delight. I try to
re-create this same delight every time I get on my mat. I see
my practice as a way of co-creating with Consciousness to create
beauty; each pose is an offering to the universal spirit of
my soul.
