About twenty-five people sitting in a large circle on mats and blankets in the grass under tall trees, facing the teacher Matthew seated in the shade.

Living at ease, on and off the mat.

I say “may you live at ease” at the end of most yoga classes. It doesn’t mean waiting until conditions improve. It means training the body and mind to add less resistance to what’s already there.

Words of Inspiration

Swami Kripalu: "Wherever you go, spread your love. Just keep the candle of your love burning and whenever you find an unlit candle, light it up. Wherever a lamp goes, it spreads light. Wherever a flower goes, it spreads fragrance. Wherever we go we should spread love. Love all beings. We don’t have to say, 'I love you,' to everyone. Just be kind, patient, tolerant, forgiving, and soft-spoken."
