Living without certainty or guarantees,

being fully with what is happening right now,

is living in the flow itself.

Living this way ensures that we will not break

but will bend

like the graceful willow

as inevitable change occurs.

Swami Ma 

...and a New Year arrives, no doubt full of uncertainties...

MESSAGE FROM LOUISE:

Dear devoted Yogis and friends,

I'm continuing to offer ALL MY CLASSES ON LINE in 2026.

I'm using Zoom to bring yoga into your homes.

Together, we can continue to stay fit and strong, and to strive to find balance in our lives. We'll also lower stress and anxiety levels along the way.

It's hard to believe it's been almost six years since the pandemic hit and we pivoted to virtual classes.

Meanwhile, many of you have successfully adapted to the online paradigm.  I believe for many, the convenience of practicing in your own homes, from near and far, has only grown in its appeal. Dallas-area traffic has become perilous. And, you get to add the time, not taken up commuting to class, back into your day for more productive use. 
Aside from convenience, you've learned to appreciate the benefits of deeper awareness and respect and perception as you dedicate all your senses to living in and practicing in the flow...your flow.

COVID doesn't seem to be waning, and its "offspring" are still flourishing; other contaminants seem to have wheedled their way into the atmosphere, too; and we still need to be vigilant about avoiding germs and contagions. 
And, those beyond driving distance to del norte yoga, also have quick and easy access to yoga classes from the comfort of their own homes.
 
So, although virtual yoga classes seemed harebrained and daunting back in March of 2020, I think they've proven to be a darn good idea in many ways, and one that has legs (no pun intended) and will continue to stand the test of time. 

Please give yourselves pats on the backs for your discipline and grit. I'm somewhat in awe over the way you have stuck with it; and I am eternally grateful for your loyalty to me and your commitment to taking care of yourselves. 

And, with so many troubles in our world, finding peace and austerity "on the mat" is more important now than perhaps ever.

Take a deep breath!
Namasté
