Mary Yoga ENews * January 2019
 The In-Between * Issue #157
Journeying
I love airports and even bus and taxi rides to airports. I love all the in-between places, neither home nor destination. We are by necessity present with ourselves, neither in our future nor in our past, in this in-between place with ourselves. It is a rare chance for solitude and pause, when we are untethered, unreachable, unmoored. A tranquil in-between.
 
Journeys are metaphors for life, not just each stop but each breath along the way. Traveling is a great time to journal because we have along with us our one permanent possession, our selves. And journals are a conversation with that self.
 
How are you at feeling present, at home wherever you are?
 
Between the planned spots and the pit stops, between the familiar and the anticipated, between the imagined and the sheer, random unexpected?
reSOULutions retreat recap
My January began by co-hosting a breathtaking yoga adventure, my 2nd year co-leading "reSOULutions retreat" and a pattern I'm finding pretty awesome!
 
This year, "reSOULutions retreat: Our Elements" with Juan Gamboa, Esco Wilson and our multi-talented Teacher Tribe, took us to lush jungle treetops overlooking the ocean at Xinalani Retreat in Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta.
 
We expanded our offerings with a truly diverse curriculum that included plenty of vigorous Vinyasa, daily Meditation, plus AcroYoga, Yoga Nidra, Mellow Flow, Thai Partner Massage, Restorative Yoga, Inversion workshops, Journaling, and this year, Pilates and dance movement.
 
And yes, some of us hiked, some of us scuba-dived, and some of us saw whales and sea turtles and swam with dolphins and did a Temezcal sweat lodge ceremony.
 
Our growing reSOULutions family is aged late teens through late sixties - thus far! - with powerful, loving interconnections, and multiple countries and personalities represented, all forming a sweet kula.
 
Videos and Photos will come soon, and will be linked in my February ENews.
 
"RR 2020" locale will be unveiled by Spring/Summer of 2019.
Stay tuned!

Skate the Sky
Staying above the dark ice, keeping vibrations high after a deliciously immersive retreat, regardless of energies around us, comes from a clearer awareness of our healthy norm.
 
It's a reminder of who we are. We are the authors of our thoughts.
 
We do our best in each moment, and love ourselves for that. And that will have to do for the world.
Om Factory MOVE
Om Factory, my AcroYoga home since 2007, has relocated our Fashion District Studio to join our Union Square Studio, but on the 8th Floor, as of January 26th!
 
Come fly at Friday night AcroYoga, now 7:15-9PM:
 
873 Broadway (18/19 St).
8th Floor
NY NY 10003
 
First Fridays each month, the class is followed by a friendly JAM and Bodyworks & Dessert, 9:15-11:15; bring yourself and any sweet treat (vegetarian); free with class or $10 to Jam!
June Retreat
Retreats are superfood for the body and soul ~ especially if you live and work in a teeming urban center as so many of us do.
 
Join Ora Ramat, divine retreat hostess, and myself, June 7-9 at Wagging Tail Yoga Studio and Farm, for our annual spring weekend retreat, Friday evening to Sunday after lunch!
 
From Friday supper and Restorative through Saturday AcroYoga and parther Thai, Flow Yoga and Nidra, to Sunday Flow, and closing circle, you will be refreshed & renewed! More here
September Retreat
If you can't make it in June, you may join us at our September 13-15 Fall weekend, when the fall foliage is fantastic, and the days are still warm and long!
