I am at one with the universe.  This is a concept at first, I did not quite get.  I feel I am at one with the Universe when I look up in the morning and see the moon and the sun is out, or while running on the dirt trail and a bird flies along with me, or butterflies mingle with me.  I would rather be experiencing nature everyday!

May my practice be for my highest good.  How often can we breathe that and experience it?

Take time for Ujayii breathing. 

Take time for self-care.  Place a warm washcloth over the eyes, this helps to improve circulation and perhaps allows yet another soothing release.

Yoga seems to be a lot about relaxing and releasing. I love the strength and grounding as well.

Yoga classes take place on Tuesdays at 6:00pm.  See East Bank website for information.

May your practice be for your highest good.

Namaste,

Jill Moncur

  Satya means connecting with truth. Practicing yoga is one way to connect with our inner light.   Breathing deeply, fuels the flames of well-being.   Each day is a fresh opportunity to connect with the beauty of nature.   I had 2 baby hummingbirds visit my flowers yesterday.   Embrace a path that nurtures your soul.   East Bank Yoga calendar is updated on a monthly basis.

I am super happy with the new location for East Bank Yoga operating out of Hills Stainless Steel, 4100 N. Northview Ave, Sioux Falls, SD.   It’s just a jaunt away from Russell and Kiwanis. There is a large window facing a field. It is warm, clean, and inviting.   There are 3 beautiful, live trees in the yoga room.   There is plenty of space with a yoga friendly floor.   East Bank Yoga operates out of Hills on select Tuesdays so register for class at eastbankyoga@gmail.com or 605.759.7459.   Class will take place on Tuesdays, 11/8 and 11/22, 6:00-7:00 pm. Yoga is a practice of peace.    Breathing mindfully is a path to grounding. Inhale slowly “I am whole.” Exhale slowly peace. Namaste, Jill Moncur

  I Love Paths We are fortunate to have beautiful bike paths around here.   Last year along the trail I encountered a fox, multiple deer and best of all, in 3 different locations, 3 very large turtles.   It was an honor to spend a little time looking at the turtle, wise, beautiful and a bit intimidating on one side as I ran on the other side of the path.   We can learn so much from experiencing nature. I appreciate the chakra path. Spending time in nature connecting connects me to my root chakra. Dancing connects me with Swadisthana, the sacral chakra. Marathons and now 13-mile bike rides I connect with Manipura chakra. Studying nature and yoga, I connect with Anahata, heart chakra Chanting is an excellent way to connect with Vissudha, the throat chakra. Daily meditation connects with Ajna ~ third eye chakra Connecting with Sahasrara can be a combination of discipline and yoga. Welcome Back There were times you did not succeed. Walking on the ...
