Yoga reminds us to move with awareness to “the
edge”.
The edge is where you feel challenged but not in pain. When you hold a pose with your best effort, you reach a place of opportunity for clarity and ease.
Find the balance of Effort and Ease in your practice and life.
Moving without awareness past our edge can result in injury. It is important to listen and recognize where our edge lies. If we move to our edge with awareness in a yoga pose, our body may invite us to go a little deeper.
We play with the edge in our lives off the mat as well. If we take on too many responsibilities or too many commitments, it becomes necessary to pull back to take care of ourselves. But not moving to that point may lead to boredom, longing, or disappointment.
Moving with awareness to our edge in life can allow us the energy to turn our visions into creations. This is the point where life sweetly invites us to cross over the edge into our fullest potential.
With love and gratitude,
Rebecca Sathre, Chris Amador & the URU Crew

CommUnity
 David attended his first yoga class in 2012 with his wife as a way to have something to do together. It quickly became a passion as it provided him with a different perspective with which to look at life. Shortly after discovering yoga, David began taking a Yin yoga class. It led to an opening, first of his body and then his mind and spirit. His work became to discover his True Self and to let it shine through. He attended yoga teacher training at Discovery Yoga in 2014 and is a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. David’s wish is to help others on their path of self discovery and to foster a safe environment for the development of community.
If you see David in the studio this month, remember to wish him a Happy Birthday!
