Some of my favorite yoga-related insights.
The highest quality of a spiritual seeker is self observation without criticism.
- Swami Kripalu
Emotion is energy in the body with a label from the mind.
Meditation is like watching fish in an aquarium. You can watch the fish go by, but you don’t have to get in and talk to or swim after them.
In yoga class, as well as in meditation, just be a “C” student. Just show up & keep showing up.

RESTORATIVE YOGA with Kezia
Friday, November 20, 7-9 pm (3 SPACES AVAILABLE)

A wonderful way to center yourself before the holiday rush!
All workshops will be held at my private yoga studio in Marshfield. The cost is $30 per person. Pre-registration and advance payment are required. Sometimes known as "guided napping," restorative yoga is a gentle but powerful practice -- perfect for deep relaxation, healing and stress relief. Pillows and folded blankets are employed to support your body so that you can hold the restorative yoga postures for a long time -- typically 5-10 minutes. You get the benefits of an intense yoga practice without having to use much effort! The class also includes warm-up postures, meditation, and yogic breathing (pranayama). After a restorative yoga session, most people feel rested, content, and more connected to themselves. Space is limited to 7 people per session. These workshops fill up fast.

Chakra Balancing Yoga Workshop is October 24 at Dragonfly
I am offering a Chakra Balancing Yoga Workshop at Dragonfly Yoga Studio in Marshfield on Saturday, October 24, from 2-4 pm.
This workshop is a great opportunity to learn more about yogic philosophy while experiencing a challenging, energizing, cleansing yoga practice. It's a wonderful way to help your body, mind, and spirit through the transition into fall -- letting go of what you no longer need, and welcoming in new energy. I hope you will join me.
In yogic philosophy, chakras are the body’s energy centers. Prolonged stress, muscle tightness, and emotional challenges take their toll on the chakras, often resulting in fatigue, depression, and other difficulties. This workshop will be comprised of a series of invigorating yoga postures, relaxing breathing techniques and guided meditations designed to balance the chakras. There will also be a brief discussion of how each chakra influences our physical, mental and emotional selves.
The Chakra Yoga Workshop is not recommended for first-time yoga students, people with recent injuries, or pregnant women. At least 6 months of yoga experience is recommended.
The cost is $35 per person. Sign up by bringing (or mailing) your payment to Dragonfly Yoga Studio, 844 Webster Street, Marshfield, MA 02050. Or pass your payment along to me and I will take care of it for you.
