Teachers & Mothers

We approach May, the month of spring & flowers finally for some regions this year! And mothers honored, too.

May 8 is Mother's Day and I remember my own mother who was a lifelong joyful delightful teacher, of adults and of youth, and a lifelong eager learner as well.

I'm reminded by her spirit how we are all eternal pupils, if we allow ourselves, and also we are all our wisest teachers, our own and others'. "To thine own self be true" is an eternal quest. I'm honored to share that quest with so many of you in the path toward self-knowledge.

Who is your favorite teacher? Or - when is your favorite teacher? Consider - our biggest challenges are our best teachers. Give yourself an A for attendance, for just showing up to class!

Mother's Day Restorative with Mary

I will not be running as many Restorative workshops the rest of the year, as my travel and teaching schedules are stepping up. But before the summer/fall, I will have one more, and it is Sunday May 8, at Pure Yoga Eastside.

For two hours, from 1-3, we receive the nurturance of our inner loving mother, whom I invoke through meditations, gentle touch, and poses that foster grounding, peace, health and tender loving self-care. As a gift to all my "children" I have a limited supply of lavender scented eye pillows as party favors for attending this "retreat."

Restorative Yoga is the most accessible, open level and user friendly yoga style there is. All levels and ages and all experience levels will benefit from this deeply relaxing, meditative "guided naptime" form of supported yoga poses on bolsters and other props, surrendering to the tender ministrations of your teacher and her assistant. A great gift for a friend.

The charity to receive a portion of proceeds from this workshop is the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer.

MAY 8 RESTORATIVE

A Testimonial:

Weak yoga teachers..prob think this as you are perfect teacher..calm, smart, fit, thoughtful,strong, intuitive."

We teachers love teacher-love!

From Pure member Jackie Mendez Diez:

"Hi Mary,
Here are the two 'chakra' paintings I did, inspired by you. My only camera is my iPhone, so the quality is not so great. I included a couple of other paintings, also.
Please add me to your email list."

Jackie's flowers are above; thanks Jackie! I lost your other photos, please resend!

Other photos include studio photo by Megan Jolly.

Flying For Japan: Donation Class at Lululemon

Join me and friends at Lululemon Lincoln Square on Saturday morning April 30, from 9AM-10AM as we playfully embrace an AcroYoga community class offered as a 100% benefit for Japan Aid, in their relief efforts for the survivors of the Japanese tsunami.

Assisting me will be Taylor Dunham, Kristina Cubrilo, and staunch supporters Nir, Guy, Hiroki, and as many acroyogis and teachers as are up for some early weekend Acro fun! Bring friends, bring cameras, bring a heart of goodwill. Bring your inner child.

FLY FOR JAPAN 4/30/11

 

May Wednesdays: Acro 101 Series

Playfulness, joy, strength, grace, are just a few of the gifts we immediately notice in ourselves when we first do this practice. It is for this: the heart opening, the mind opening, as well as the body's growth in power and skills, that practitioners keep coming back.

This AcroYoga 101 series introduces all the elements within the 3-part blended practice of Yoga, Acrobatics, and Thai Massage, and builds from week one to week four for a solid set of foundational skills in a joyful, supportive group setting. My able assistants will be longtime students Guy Hubbard and Nir Pengas.

May 4, 11, 18, 25 from 6-8PM at Pure Yoga West.

ACRO 101 IN MAY

 

Esprit Wellness

Sports, illness, injury, travel, stress are all risk factors for spinal misalignments that chiropractors call "subluxations." Major ones stop us with pain, and we pay attention, but minor ones can impede us from functioning at our optimal energy and health level.

When I'm self-caring, I get regular adjustments. I had a busy year with a trip every month, a broken leg in July, acrobatics and New York city biking and scootering.

So off I go to Dr. Sid just flying out to an advanced acrobatic immersion in CA. And so energized as I hop up from the table!

Most chiropractic offices accept some insurance plans. Get a solid referral from someone you trust. My Dr. Sid at Esprit is terrific; he specializes in performers and dancers, and also in scoliosis treatment. He has a magic touch! And they have awesome massage chairs and massage therapists.
