"Teach me what I cannot learn alone. Let us share what we know,
and what we cannot fathom.  Speak to me of mysteries,
and let us never lie to one another. ..."  
~~ "Sangha" by Danna Faulds. 
 
     "Sangha", the title of this poem, is a sanskrit term roughly meaning a 'community' of practitioners.   

     A week ago, I had the great honor of reading this poem to a sangha of over 40 yoga teachers from the Greater Seattle area. 

     Meet~Play~Learn was the theme for this first-time YogaBlaze sponsored event.  And indeed,  COMMUNITY  & CONNECTION was a primary desire on many levels - as human beings, practitioners, and teachers within the larger regional yoga community.

Come Union with Yoga
     Is community & connection important in your life?  Is your practice supporting your level of desire for community?
  
     Here's a quick view of  some of the special events created to deepen your connection to your Self & others - both on and off the mat.
