Giving thanks to those who help and support us is wonderful. Gratitude also goes far beyond that. Expanding our consciousness and awareness to include all living beings, opening our hearts to everything that is, is true gratitude.
Offering love and appreciation for those relationships and situations that challenge us opens up a love for Self, knowing that our opportunities for growth come from all directions. When we can expand our love of Self, we can then offer love to others and from that love, gratitude naturally blooms.
This month practice opening your heart to all living beings, wishing happiness and freedom to all.

Students will learn the art of yogic short hand so they can take notes after yoga classes at the studio and take sequences to work on at home. Not to be left out, the workshop will include a foundation for a home meditation and pranayama practice. A home yoga practice allows the Yogi to deeply embody the teachings and techniques they discover in a studio environment.

Denise Amick began her yoga practice in the basement of a church in the mid 1980s in search of healing from the chronic symptoms of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Her passion has led her to practice and teach yoga as a path to physical and mental wellbeing. In 2001, at the urging of her yoga teacher, Linda Sudevi Kramer, Denise studied and became a certified Integral yoga teacher at the Satchidananda Ashram. She was given the spiritual name of Dayamata which means compassionate mother. She focuses on safe alignment and strives to take the student to their personal edge while still allowing them to have their own experience of the pose. She invites her students to “come home to themselves”. When she’s not studying to complete her graduate degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology or teaching yoga Denise is hiking, gardening, cooking for her husband, children and grandchildren or playing with her Boxer, Nora.
and all of our new teachers!
