discussing the non-dual teachings of Jesus
The disciples said to Jesus, "When will the Kingdom come?"
and he replied, " It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is' . Rather, the kingdom of Heaven is spread out beneath you and you do not see it."

Silence
When trees have blossomed, fruit has ripenened, and leaves have fallen, we are left with just the bare naked self. In the dead of spiritual winter we have this deep invitation to turn our attention inward, to look at ourselves very deeply.
We may look, as in svadhyaya, at the patterns, conditioning, phenomena of the mind, body, and emotion. And we may look simply through silence, through remaining in the still dark quiet beneath thought, body, and emotion. This time of cold, of short days, of resting, is opportune to begin investigating our lives so that this season may be used to get to the root. When springtime comes, the fruit blossoms very sweet.
Have very happy holidays, and be care full.
Deeper Flow monthly theme class TONIGHT 6:30-8:30 pm
Join Jody TONIGHT for a 2-hour deeper Flow class interweaving pranayama, chanting, and deeply supported poses. Encouraging a playful look at the niyama "Svadyaya" (self-study) as we let the body, breath and sound carry us back into the innocence of ourSelves.

NEW January Classes
Coming in January ~ FLOW FUSION ~
FUSION - A dynamic class that begins with a yoga warm-up, merges into a dynamic strength training program (i.e., safe, yet effective, self-monitored-intensity strength training for real life and all sports), finally, we go down to the mats for core strengthening and deep yoga stretches. This class will be limited to 8 persons because we will be using special equipment like core balls, stability balls, hand weights, and more. You may want to reserve your space ahead of time to be ensured a space. Stephanie taught this class successfully for many years in Seattle before moving here and is excited to finally be bringing it to Flow Yoga.
Thursdays 9:15-10:45 am
This program has the following unique features:
- low-impact yoga warm-up
- functional, multi-joint, combination strength training - using safe, low-impact techniques, we are able to work more than one different muscle group to fatigue 1-3 times in each exercise
- functional whole-core training
- deep yoga flexibility
- relaxation and focus on deep, diaphragmatic breath for overall health
For a truly amazing work-out pair this class with Cycle Training at 8 am - for your weekly ultimate whole body training program~cardio, strength, core, breath, and flexibility!
We welcome Nichole Ekman and Connie Garrant as new instructors at Flow Yoga in January. Nichole will be subbing for now, and Connie is bringing a 7 am Flow class to the schedule Monday mornings beginning January 11th. Please join her in making this new time slot successful!
