Andrea Creel Yoga

Dear Yogis -
I wanted to share with you information about a great new translation of the Bhagavad Gita I have just finished reading by Hari-kirtana Das

Hari's love for and knowledge of the Gita shines through in his writing and easy-to-understand translation of this sacred spiritual text. Even my cat was mesmerized by the calming and grounding presence of the book (see photo below).

Highly recommend this book/translation for anyone looking to delve into the mystery, beauty, and wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.

You can purchase a copy on Amazon (affiliate link) or at your favorite bookseller: https://amzn.to/3WuP0wO

Ms. Andrea plays the Sleeping Bunnies game with the students at the Edlavitch DCJCC preschool!

During the game, children get to practice child's pose (sleeping bunny pose) as well as the gross motor skill of jumping with 2 feet.

Local friends! I'm excited to announce my new series starting next week. Join me for a 6 week session with mindful yoga walks. Pre-registration is required, send me a message for details.

Thich Nhat Hanh Has Passed Away

All of us here at Shambhala Publications are saddened by the passing of Thich Nhat Hanh this morning at Từ Hiếu Temple in Huế, Vietnam. Thay (the traditional title for a master in Vietnamese, and how his students refer to him), embodied those all-too-rare qualities of truly living in the moment, having his actions match his words, and the ability to convey the wisdom he gained from years of practice to present the teachings of the Buddha in a simple way that anyone, regardless of their background or belief system, could relate to, be inspired by, and make a reality.

In his honor and remembrance, we offer this excerpt (http://shmb.la/tnh-on-dying) from his book You Are Here, in which Thay teaches on dying. It is a poignant read today and we hope it offers you solace and a moment of reflection.

Our palms are together to Thay in appreciation for a life of selfless service to all.
