Shakti Fire Renovation Debt Reduction Campaign Many thanks to Adam Rudolph and Steve Gorn for gracing Shakti with their beautiful music at our Winter Solstice Benefit Concert on Sunday evening. What a gift that was! Thank you as well to all our wonderful students and dear friends who supported us with their generous donations. Together, we have raised $1861 so far (great number!), all of which has already been applied to pay down our debt from the fire. We hope to make the Winter Solstice Concert an annual event and will continue with fundraising efforts until all of Shakti's debt has been paid off (was $12,745-$1861=$10,884 remaining). (For those of you who don't know, there was a fire that spread from a neighboring business in June 2006, one year after we opened. We had to completely rebuild the walls, ceilings, floors and heating system. In addition, we lost merchandise and props, and had to rent and build out temporary space so we could continue to offer classes.)

Words of Wisdom "The practice of yoga aims to overcome the limitations of the body. Yoga teaches us that the goal of every individual's life is to take the inner journey to the soul. Yoga offers both the goal and the means to reach it." When there is perfect harmony between the body and the mind, we achieve self-realization. Yoga teaches us that the obstacles in the path of our self-realization show themselves in a physical or mental indisposition. When our physical state is not perfect it causes an imbalance in our mental state, which is known in Sanskrit as chittavritti. The practice of yoga helps us overcome that imbalance. Yogic asanas, or postures, can cure vyadhi, or physical ailments, and redress angamejaytatva, or unsteadiness in the body. Shvasa-prashvasa, which translates as "uneven respiration," an indication of stress, is alleviated by the practice of yoga. Asanas tone the whole body. They strengthen bones and muscles, correct posture, improve breathing, and increase energy. This physical well-being strengthens and calms the mind.
