We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Did You Know?

Local artists are offering their wares at YogaNow...we are lucky to have two women bring unique and locally produced items:

Betty Dore's notecards, individually and boxed sets, here's just one example to the right.

Katie Lopez brings her personally designed and constructed yoga wear.  Beautiful pants and tops in fabric that moves for asana practice and looks so lovely you can comfortably where them out afterward.

Meta's Message

From the classical and revered Yoga Sutras (threads of Yoga) attributed to Patanjali:

Practice (abhyasa) and non-attachment (vairagya) are the two core principles on which the entire system of Yoga rests.  It is through the cultivation of these two that the other practices evolve, by which mastery over the mind field occurs, and allows the realization of the true Self.  

The quote in the subject line from Aristotle struck me as being so closely related to the lines above from the sutras.  What we do, what we practice, we become.  What we think, what we focus on, gets bigger.  Partly what I like about these ideas are the way we can create, cultivate what we desire, who we want to become...Our dreams, our visions, our thoughts matter.

With great and glorious dreams for us all, and as always deep gratitude for you, the community of YogaNow,

Meta.

Support Our Local Community

Join YogaNow in supporting:  St. Martin’s Hospitality Center (SMHC)...it is New Mexico’s largest multi-program provider of services for the homeless. Founded in 1985 by volunteers from local Episcopal churches, the agency is now a private, nonsectarian 501(c)3 organization that partners with community, municipal, state, and federal agencies in pursuit of its mission: “to serve homeless and near-homeless people by providing resources, opportunities, and hope.”

 

For a week, October 28-November 4 please make a donation to SMHC and YogaNow will match the group contribution.  A basket for donations will be in both studios.  Link arms for each other.
