The three gunas.. what??

-
In Tues AM yoga, our theme is Dukka (suffering) vs Sukka.(ease) Today I talked a bit about the three Gunas:  Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva. What? 

 (Last week I talked about the 5 hindrances (hindering our ability to be free from dukka.)
 As a long time yoga student, learning about these things is what kept me coming back. 
 If you'd enjoy learning about things like this, in addition to practicing Asana (this session is yin yoga poses to decrease anxiety), consider joining Tues AM yoga:  9:30-10:45 at Peace in Shoreview.

You knew exactly what I needed  to unwind from the stress of too much driving and a way too busy December.  I am always grateful to you....your skills and your kind and open heart.... the whole person you are. Have a beautiful day

  For new students!  or those who haven't been to yoga for awhile: Spring is a time of new possibilities.  If  you've been looking for a way to re-connect with your body in a meaningful way..... if you have a new commitment to creating better health for yourself, ... sign up for this yoga class.  For those who are more youthfull, athletic  or advanced, I will offer more challenging poses.  For those who are feeling stiff and less confident, (beginners), I will introduce you to some of the basic poses as well as the breathing that we do .  Please sign up by contacting me via email:  blaineyoga@gmail.com.  I will ask you to pay $10 in advance so that I know for sure that we will have enough people for a class.  I look forward to meeting you!
