Comments from students:

“I have faith, entering the class each week, that you will be there with creativity, a surprise or two, good humour, and poetry. That is a wonderful thing to be able to rely on, week after week, in this crazy world. So I rarely ever have to debate whether or not to go to class, it’s just a given… I just go, trusting.” – Bill

“What a spectacular day. It was by far the best yoga workshop I have ever attended. I feel very blessed to have been able to attend.”- Kassandra

“Personally, it was my first time experiencing such a deep spiritual and emotional yoga workshop. I feel blessed that I was directed your way. I did not know what to expect out of the workshop but by the end, I had tears in my eyes. I was glad all those folks were open to sharing their love with me as well. It was so touching.” – Stephanie

“I want to relay to you how much I enjoyed the work shop this afternoon. It truly was the most beautiful and heartfelt five hours that I have experienced . Such positive energy and love you exude. I can’t believe how in five hours 25 people , some total strangers, became so connected. The whole day was radiant. I would love to attend more retreats put on by you. Thank you ,thank you ,thank you.” – Betty

  • The lamps are different,
    But the light is the same.
    So many garish lamps in the dying brain's lamp-shop,
    Forget about them.
    Concentrate on essence, concentrate on Light
    In lucid bliss, calmly smoking off its own holy fire,
    The Light streams towards you from all things,
    All people, all possible permutation of good, evil, thought, passion.
    The lamps are different,
    But the Light is the same.
    One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind,
    Endlessly emanating all things
    One turning and burning diamond.
    One, one, one.
    Ground yourself, strip yourself down,
    To blind loving silence.
    Stay there, until you see
    You are gazing at the Light
    With its own ageless eyes.

    - Rumi
