Salutations!        

          On a warm evening in July, in the middle of University Village, next to a gentle waterfall; the sun shone on a vibrant circle of 10 yogis.  Shoes off, chairs close, laughing, sharing, and quietly OMM-ing.  Our 2nd YogaBlaze party was a  hit!  (View photos here...)

Who was our Surprise Guest speaker?
Bettelinn        Bettelinn Krizek Brown, one of the original four yoga teachers in Seattle from the 1960s regaled us with stories while quietly demonstrating the qualities of being a True teacher. 
 
Wisdom from Bettelinn on the perfect class...
     When asked how she would create her "perfect" class today,  her reply (paraphrased),  would be to include ALL the different paths, from Bakti, to Raja, to Asana, to whatever - there isn't just ONE way.  We must all honor each path.  
 
The many ways of Yoga..
This month, expand your horizons and receive your yoga in a whole new way.  Here's some ideas ...
